    I just watched this. My greatest surprise came during this segment,
    where I learned that Goode Behavior was tied for 149th with Buffy the
    Vampire Slayer. Buffy was only four years old then, in its prime. I also
    see Sister, Sister at 142 -- I've never watched that, but my impression
    was that it was popular with kids.

    I noticed that too, but assumed that was near the end of Buffy's run.


    It went downhill from there thanks to Marti Noxon

    I can't remember if I sampled this - if it was a UPN show, the answer is probably no.

    Um, that's not right - "Goode Behavior" was 1996; "Buffy" premiered in
    the Spring of '97. So this would have been "Buffy's" first season.

    Really? For some reason I thought Buffy premiered a few years earlier.
    That does explain the low ratings, tho.

    Against all odds, Siri says that Ian is right. Buffy premiered, March 10,
    1997. But just to keep his record intact, March 10 is not spring. ItrCOs
    winter still.

    This is what Wikipedia says for spring:

    Astronomical season 20 March rCo 21 June
    Meteorological season 1 March rCo 31 May
    Solar (Celtic) season 1 February rCo 30 April
