What makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer appeal to such a wide age range?(from Rachel)

I think it�s because it�s young people but dealing with adult matters. Children can relate to the action sequences, and [the themes of] the young girl in college or high school and the group that doesn�t like her and the group that does. Anyone can relate to that because everyone�s been in school.

The older groups can relate to Buffy on perhaps a deeper level. She has to deal with being kind of an outcast and not having much of a youth because she�s given such a hard thing to deal with, [that is] being a Slayer. And there�s the sexuality in the show that adults can deal with.
