Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel Viewer's Guide

 

This is a viewer's guide to the Joss Whedon TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS) and Angel. Angel started as a spinoff of BtVS during Season 4 of Buffy. Since they aired on the same network, many of the seasons had cross-over episodes that added to the story lines of each series.

I recommend watching both series as they were intended, including crossover episodes. This means that during BtVS Season 4, you'll need to watch Angel Season 1. Here you will find a guide for viewing the crossover episodes to ensure minimal DVD swapping while viewing both series in the right order.
