Earlier this week it was announced that there is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie in the works. Normally, this would have Buffy and Joss fans in a frenzy of excitement. But there's a catch! It's not likely that any of the cast from the hit TV show will be a part of it, and neither will creator/director Joss Whedon.

This got me thinking, well what's the point? You take away the ingredients that made the television show a success, what are you left with? The disaster that was the first Buffy film? Or a reinvented success? 

We're in the final days of our "I Wish They'd Bring Back My Favorite TV Show" Twitter contest where you get a chance to win a Blu-Ray Disk Player.  Hundreds of fans gave responded to BuddyTV's Twitter account to let us know which show from the past they'd most like to see again.  Over 70 different canceled television shows have already been named.

You just can't keep a good super-villain down.  Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the Internet musical from Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon, was yanked from DrHorrible.com less than a week after it became available.  The goal was to allow hardcore fans a chance to see it for free, then hope they'd either buy it on iTunes or wait for the eventual DVD.  Shelling out cash to see Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly) sing catchy ditties won't be necessary just yet, as Dr. Horrible has now reappeared on Hulu and MySpace, with plans to bring it to Yahoo!, AOL and other websites.  If you missed it the first time, now is your chance to witness the online sensation free of charge.

Alan Tudyk gained fame as one of the main cast members of Firefly.  For 14 episodes, he portrayed Hoban "Wash" Washburne and served as Serenity’s pilot.  As Zoe’s husband, he often expressed jealousy over his wife’s relationship with Captain Mal.  Perceived as a laid-back guy with an occasionally dry sense of humor, he frequently served as a calming influence in heated arguments.

Gina Torres was known as Zoe Alleyne Washburne on the television series Firefly.  Her character was the second-in-command onboard Serenity, wife of Wash, and loyal friend of Captain Reynolds.  Noted for being a “warrior woman,” she exuded great knowledge of combat.  She lingered on until the end of the series with a total appearance of 14 episodes.
