I’ll admit that I haven’t seen the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but how does it compare to Romeo and Juliet in terms of comedy? Shakespeare’s real talents lie not in mawkish sentimentality, but in clever wordplay and character-driven humor; this is true even of his plays which are supposedly “tragedies”.

Buffy is a comedy too—and IMO much better than Romeo and Juliet—which only has a handful of good one-liners. :)
