The cast of U.S. TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer reunited for a panel discussion at Los Angeles' William S. Paley Television Festival on Thursday night.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amber Benson, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, Seth Green, James Marsters and Michelle Trachtenberg got together with the show's creator Joss Whedon to reminisce about the supernatural program, which ran from 1997 to 2003.

Gellar recalled the moment she landed the lead role on the show, which was a spin-off of a 1992 movie also called Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

She said, "All my friends felt sorry for me because I was... on a network (The WB) no one had heard of and on a show based on a movie that wasn't all that."

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite show while in high school.  I had a bunch of friends who watched it and, like all of them, when we first became aware of the show we were all quite reticent to dive in.  First of all, the title is simply ridiculous and it just didn't seem like a series that a fifteen year old guy would like.  All it took was one viewing, however, and I was hooked.  There had never been anything like it – it was a crazy comedy/horror/action/high-school drama hybrid that, somehow, spoke to me as a high schooler more so than any other high-school set series (to be fair, I had yet to discover Freaks and Geeks).  Also, a teenage boy has no choice but to fall in love with Sarah Michelle Gellar after watching Buffy.  I'd be lying if I said that had nothing to do with my fandom.
