The show has effectively wrote the story, as the many prestigious awards, including several creative arts Emmys and 10 satellite awards. However, one Buffy Episode made history in the worst way: “The Puppet Show” was the lowest episode of the series ” alwaysAnd to make things worse, a franchise tradition broke by playing the credits next to the last scene and not separately.
Buffy and The Puppet Show
This is usually where we make a summary of the episode in question, but for Buffy Fans, “The Puppet Show” is an episode that lives in shame. It is a bait and switch story in which Buffy and the scoobies believe for the first time that they have to fight against going and speaks demonic puppets that sounds almost as scary as he looks. However, it turns out that he is actually a demon hunter who is cursed to live in the body of the doll until he has done a special task. Namely the hunting and killing of each member of the brotherhood of seven demons.
While Buffy The fans think a smaller episode of “The Puppet Show” as (to express them easily). In this case, “lowest rated” is not a quality measurement, although the episode does have a deservedly terrible reputation. For example, Rab evaluated this episode as #127 in its large list of best-to-the most Buffy Stories. That doesn’t sound so bad until you consider that there are only 144 episodes, which means that it comes dangerous Near the floor of the barrel.
In this case, “the lowest rated” means that from everyone Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episodes, “The Puppet Show” was the one who was viewed the least when originally broadcast. According to the Nielsen reviews of the show, only 1.9 million households agreed with this mishap of the puppets at the first broadcast. The part “first transmission” is important because, as you can imagine, fewer spectators than their first-lung colleagues submit.
Buffy The fans hate “The Puppet Show” for many reasons (including the bizarre plot and the chunky dialogue), but it is worth mentioning that it had less competition about the lowest episode than you may think. When the show became more popular in the following seasons, even really bad episodes (look at, season 6!) Would still have more than the average episodes millions of spectators. The ratings were lowest for season 1, and “The Puppet Show” had the dubious honor to be the least test episode in these turbulent early days.
Speak so long years Buffy Fans, we also angry that “The Puppet Show” wrote the story in another negative way by performing the final loans about the last scene via a shared screen. This was creative this was a bizarre choice that ruined the flow of a very bad episode. Apparently the network agreed: After the first broadcast, this last scene was excluded from future WB Airings, but (for the good or for the bad) you can now observe the restored scene on DVD. Streamingand television.
There you have it Buffy Fans: With regard to the audience, “The Puppet Show” is the worst episode of the franchise. And the strange decision to share the credits meant that an already terrible episode was not landing. Fortunately, the following episodes only got better, which this poor puppet has belonged to the past for fans in order to be more stalking demons and less speaking dolls.
