Have any specific ideas from way back been adapted for the new show?

We have that conversation a lot, Joss saying, "I always wanted to do this story, but because they grew up so quickly, we couldn't do it."

For example, Buffy and Willow's first baby-sitting assignment doesn't work when they get to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but when they are fifteen or sixteen, that story still plays. The idea of Driver's Ed, getting your driver's license, only worked in the first year, because once you got past that, it became odd that those were not things that had already taken place. But, true to form, Buffy is still a terrible driver!

So, there isn't anything that is going to change but you're going to see more of the reasons why. As with any really good Buffy story, whether it's baby-sitting or getting your driver's license, it really isn't about that - it's about teen anxiety, human anxiety or human emotion; that feeling that you want to belong that Buffy does so well.
