There are a few WB shows from the 90s that would vie for the title of “defined a generation” – looking at you, Dawson’s Creek and Felicity – but you definitely can’t enter into the conversation without Buffy playing a big role.

One of her production companies, Sandollar Entertainment, founded in 1986, is behind both Buffy and Angel.
Finding out that one of those people brought us the other? It kind of blew minds apart all over the internet.
