Videos That Do Not Suck
On Halloween 1998, MTV as a special event let the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" cast pick up 40 videos that "do not suck" [for slow people: this is supposed to be funny: vampires suck...]. Here is the list of the videos, who chose them, who presented them and the order of all these things. There was also 30 short interventions from the cast to present those videos. I gathered all this data so that fans and curious can learn more about the musical taste of their favorite cast member(s). I also now added the transcripts of those interventions (on a separated page, so the whole stuff can still be clear enough for you to find what you're looking for).
I had to sit through the whole stuff (4 hours with commercials), so I lost some data at some point in time. If you pick up any butchered (or missed) title or name please let me know, so that other visitors can have a complete listing. Also if you want to use this list, at least credit me for the job. It took me time, so I would appreciate...
Explainatory forenotes:
There were 30 interventions of cast members (in different combinations). Some of them are successive because there were commercials in-between. The data in red is the number of the intervention (only here for classification purpose) and the cast member(s) involved. The data in yellow indicates: the position of the video in the countdown, the cast member(s) who chose it, and the title of the video and its performer(s).
Note that when "All cast" is mentionned it means all the cast present for that event: Alyson, Charisma, David, Nicholas, Sarah and Seth.
