Any episode with Joyce Summers is extremely hard to watch
Any episode with Joyce Summers is extremely hard to watch
I'm not sure that the actor portraying Joyce had much of a chance the way she is written but she didn't help the character with the lack of heart she put into her effort. Extremely cliché out of touch with the youth adult was somehow considered cutting edge at the end of the 1990's apparently.
This installment practically is a satire of the overly protective, ignorant to reality (the reality of Buffy, that is), nature of Joyce Summers. The writers should have realized how awful the regular character is when the satire was among the character's best received moments on the show.
The overall story of Band Candy is relatively entertaining. The main characters who are often portrayed as irresponsible until they have to save the world get a turn at being alone in the role since all of the adults have apparently taken on the childlike tendencies of the teenagers.
I'm a beyond middle aged geek who has watched most every genre show but managed to somehow never watch Buffy until now. I enjoyed Charmed and Angel having watched them both when they were the morning fare on TNT.
There have been moments through seasons one and two that I have enjoyed Buffy but as season three is progressing it is turning into more of a love to hate it watch...I'm determined to finish but it's not going to be easy at this rate.
