TV Show: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Original Premise: Buffy (Sarah Michelle Geller) is a vampire slayer. She slays vampires and make sarcastic comments about them. Also, just about every episode features Buffy fighting a monster that doubles as social commentary. There's the one where she gets drunk and turns into a caveBuffy and we all learn drinking is bad and leads to ugly hair. There's the one where a Mantis Woman kidnaps virgins and we learn that if we're promiscuous, then giant insects won't try to kill us. There's the episode where Buffy has sex and her boyfriend then proceeds to try to kill her for half a season and we learn that sometimes, it's better if we just masturbate. Anyway, the monsters are all just a metaphor for life and provide very good arguments for why we should all just become shut-ins.
New Premise: Buffy (Sarah Silverman) is a vampire slayer. Then, one day, she decides to become a stand up comedian. Now, she slays the crowds with her entourage fellow vampire hunters(Margaret Cho and Jimmy Fallon) as she travels the country telling jokes and fighting the undead masses and occasionally teaching us a valuable lesson about growing up. Watch out for the special episode where she encounters an evil witch (Roseanne Barr) uses her magic to turn people into hamburgers and we learn that food is good in moderation. Plus, watch as Buffy and the Master Vampire of the Comedy Circuit (Dane Cook) spar and eventually, in the two part season finale, hook up and fight Andrew Dice Clay as he tries to bring back gigantic shoulders!
