Oh, Buffy, How I Miss You

The highlight of the Paley Fest no doubt had to have been the "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" reunion held last night.

Bloggers galore have been writing enthusiastically about it.

It's a testament to the quality of the show that nearly five years after it ended people are still jazzed to get any Buffy discussion going. Don't forget, both "Buffy" and "Angel" still live on in comic book form, with series creator Joss Whedon writing or approving the scripts that form the hypothetical next seasons of each series. ("Angel," in particular, has had some really great twists to it).

It only gets my juices going even more when Whedon's new series "Dollhouse," starring "Buffy" alum Eliza Dushku, will hit the airwaves next season on Fox.

MY BAD: The big "Lost" ending Michael Emerson alluded to will be in the first episode when the series returns in a few weeks.

WEEKEND'S BEST BETS: I always like it when I find little nuggets on cable. "Futurama" never got as much ink as other adult-oriented animated series out there, but I enjoyed it just as much as "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy." I never got the chance to catch the direct-to-DVD "Futurama" movie, "Bender's Big Score," when it came out, but now I can see it with everyone else when it debuts this Sunday on Comedy Central at 8 p.m.

The very-disappointing "Return of Jezebel James" (Fox, 8:30 p.m.) is new tonight, disappointing in that it's really not good, surprising with all the talent attached to it.

"Torchwood" (BBC America, Sat., 9 p.m.) is all new, heading toward the end of its second season.

On Sunday, the miniseries "John Adams" (HBO, 9 p.m.) continues as Adams and Ben Franklin head to France.

And finally, the NCAA tournament will be running all weekend on CBS. Hopefully, your brackets aren't too busted.
