    The awful o’Irish accent he did. I watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Charmed always seemed like more of a woman in her 20s tv show, whereas Buffy had a universal appeal

    Buffy for the story lines and events/acting. Charmed for the cheesecake

    Buffy

    They were on TV one after the other on the same night if i remember rightly. My dad and my sister watched both, I watched charmed for about the first season but the hot girls could only sustain me for that long. Buffy kept me going the whole way through

    Charmed had the better theme song though

    Buffy for sure out of the two. The missus is rewatching Charmed on Netflix US at the moment and some of the episodes are eye rolling. Buffy had it's cringe moments too but there was more quality there.

    Didn't really enjoy the character of Angel when he was in Buffy, but his own show was great stuff.

    Buffy beats Charmed in all those categories for me.

    Buffy V Angel would be a lot tougher. Buffy had some of the best episodes, but Angel was the better show overall.

    I can't believe this is actually a question. The answer however is Buffy.

    Charmed seemed to be aimed at the younger crew and is very like what Supergirl, Flash etc are these days. Whereas Buffy was definitely more mature, better storylines and characters. Buffy all the way.

    Buffy and Angel both very enjoyable, have watched them a few times.

    Charmed not as good

    Chalk and cheese, with Buffy clearly being the former.

    Charmed was awful. Buffy was fun.

    Buffy was an excellently written and executed morality tale, complete with vampires, demons and ridiculously hot chicks.... charmed was a pile of shíte!

    I think Angel had the edge on buffy though, particularly the later seasons. Must get round to watching them again, see do they stand the test of time.

    Easily Buffy. Charmed was unwatchable, as mentioned above.

    Spike the best male character. Cordelia the hottest woman.

    You didn't post a vote, you posted a survey. Who cares that much?

    I think it's more interesting, than just ask which one is better.

    One of the reasons that made Buffy great are the metaphors to real life, which worked much better in Buffy than it does in Angel. However I didn't like the 7th Season that much.

    Buffy.
    Just have to watch things like the ending of I Was Made to Love You followed by The Body. "Mom? Mom? Mommy?"
    Or when the show is getting praised for the dialogue, they go and do an episode like Hush.
    And then we have Once More With Feeling which I really like.

    Also Restless, which I always thought is a hint to Twin Peaks.

    The character arcs in Angel and the over-arching stories were just an absolute joy imo, and why I think Angel was a better show overall than Buffy. Buffy had the better episodes, but when you consider the character arcs of Wesley, Cordelia and Fred, the multi-episode mid-season stories like Angel V Darla/Drusilla in Season 2, the return of Angelus in Season 4, Illyria in Season 5, Angel as a show always took the bigger chances and risks as a show and it almost always paid off. It had its misses too, no doubt. But it did far greater things as a show overall than Buffy did (though again, most of the best singular Buffyverse episodes would be from Buffy).

    Considering how big a fan of Buffy I am, I'm pretty sure I haven't watched Angel in it's entirety. I thought the first season was really poor, Buffy season 1 poor. Think I jumped back in towards the end. Maybe some day I'll go fill in the gaps.

    I agree but i think Angel could take the risks as Buffy had shown it could be done
