The costumer for the show must have had a fabulous time dressing the actors; Buffy in particular always looks fabulous and effortlessly stylish. Herself might envy the actress's petite and lithe frame just a bit; there's no way a more substantial woman could look nearly as marvelous in that wardrobe.
More than the clothes, though, Herself admires the way Buffy, Willow and Xander are portrayed as friends. They look after each other, hug each other freely, admit their failings and receive sympathy in return, and unquestioningly support one another. In one episode Herself watched recently, the three are shown watching television together, and Xander and Buffy each are braiding/playing with a small section of Willow's hair while Willow explains the complex and perplexing plot of the Indian movie they are watching. It's a lovely sort of quiet intimacy among the three of them.
It's completely unrealistic, I think. And yet, it's something that I would very much enjoy having.
