‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Ended 20 Years Ago: How Fans Rank the Seasons

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, our pick for the best show of the ‘90s, came to a climactic conclusion 20 years ago, with Sunnydale going from town to town-sized crater in the Scooby Gang’s battle against evil.

That finale — “Chosen,” which aired on May 20, 2003 — is one of fans’ favorite episodes, according to IMDb user ratings. The average rating for the final season as a whole, though, lands it in the middle of the pack, though far ahead of the first season.
