  • Willow looks like shit omg.

  • Like If your soooo watching this in 2012

  • Glad this is not the aired pilot.

    Riff Regan is definitely not born to be a Willow.

  • NED!!!! (punch to the face)

  • i skipped it forward from the black and then suddenly the window smash scared the hell out of me

  • It's like watching an alternative reality show, where Willow was replaced by an imposter. I keep expecting Jonathon to be the most important person around, or everyone to turn into shrimp.

  • @songteller that's a truly Buffyfan comment :p

  • DARLAAAAAA

  • 3:14 "Betty?" "I just want you to...fuck me!"

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • What kinda name is Buffy! Well what kinda name is Aphrodisia? Huh! OWNAGE lol

  • @darkangelninja07 Great irony huh?

  • The principal is Stu from Californication, and also he was Elle's father on Heroes.

  • anyone else notice that the guy who played the principal in that pilot is the weird gay teacher in Glee :P ????

  • VERY VERY VERY Kevin Williamson SCREAM inspired. I like it a lot, but doesn't ignite the tone the series later developed

  • 'seen the softer side of sears' is some pretty dope alliteration

  • I didn't like the actor playing willow. She didn't seem like she fit the part as good..

  • Tho I do feel 4 riff, wat if she tld all her friends & family "im on a tv show" & then gt tld no. :(

  • I hav no prob wit big ppl, bt an overweight gay will wit tara-not hot

  • I dont know why there are no Angel shows on youtube?

  • Creepy alternate universe...

  • This was only meant to be an example of what the series would possibly be like. While they obviously went with a good actress for Willow in the end, I think Riff Regan would've been fine too. Maybe more apt, especially since Buffy's group is supposed to be a bunch of misfits rather than people who are just as attractive as the cheerleaders. Unfortunately the weight of the actresses involved was probably a deciding factor - how many overweight kids could've been inspired if Regan was Willow?

  • BUFFY IS LIFE :'(

    wooooooow, i love love love BUFFY, Brasil Love Buffy

  • Placement, script, characters...all wrong. ahh

  • This is pretty craptacular. Thank god, they ended up doing it right and made it into such a success.

  • Wow. This is quite... terrible

    The series is amazing

  • @antlerboy12345 Right! I'm kinda cringing.

  • Bunny ... Betty

    No gang colors, no fur, no swinging from the rafters screaming "meat is murder" on sloppy joe day.

    Joss Whedon is such a great writer.

  • I believe joss wedon had the actors act it all out without him telling them what to do. So they did how they think think it is so posed to be done. so i guess he just wanted to see if the ppl are good for the part and see what talent they have to give.

  • I believe this is a practice. Just to try it out with the stars it's all.

  • sarah michelle Gellar learned to be funny. she's a good actress

    Alyson and Nicholas were instantly funny, and fitted into their roles perfectly.

  • @Rowan07001484 my favourte person in buffy is willow

  • Wow, Giles comes across as completely insane in this version! "Ah, a new student! I know what you're after... VAMPIRES!"

  • @Blacknight8850 That's pretty much how it happened in the aired pilot. The scene was almost exactly the same except the book cover was different.

  • why did willow get changed?x glad she did

  • @SLAMDONNIE

    I imagine she didn't fit.

    They wanted someone who looked more like a kid, and with the quirky factor. Willow was meant to be a geek, but also very quirky, and funny. this actress is not amusing. Alyson always was. she's very good at comedy, and she is an epic actress. one of my faves

    I feel sorry for this willow though. she was rejected, while Nicolas and Sarah stayed.

  • @Rowan07001484 Yeah, Willow isn't supposed to feel sorry for herself. Apparently Alyson was the only person to read for the role who sounded optimistic, everyone sounded depressed/pathetic haha

  • @SLAMDONNIE what do you mean

  • Xander's dialogue is ridiculously high-brow for a high school (American) student, which is cool. I can't imagine - at all - how the series would have evolved or even survived had Hannigan not been given the role of Willow.

  • @manuellopez1956 Me too! I can't imagine buffy the vampire slayer without Alyson, James Martes or sarah michelle gellar. Also I like Nicholas Brendon a lot because of the way he delivers his bad jokes;P

  • @dwarflover63 Thanks for the information,i think Alyson as Willow fits much better

  • wow Willow looks different,then again i haven't watched Buffy in years(going to catch up now watching all the seasons)

  • I always love watching the pilot and seeing all the changes they made.  Always for the good, too! lol

  • Alyson Hannigan is so much better as Willow! She's more charmingily awkward whereas this one is just awkward

  • i've never heard of her.

  • who played willow in the unaired pilot?

  • @degrassiluvaforeva Riff Regan :)

  • Is the song at the beginning Rancid?

  • where did you get this from?

  • OMG, this Willow is terrible! I'm so HAPPy that we got Alyson 'Amazing' Hannigan! *__* :)

  • Mind has been blown

  • Wow. Different Willow. It has to hurt to be replaced and the series goes on to be popular after...

  • I'm going to need to re-watch the first episode. I need the true Willow!

  • Ewww Diff. Willow whta the hell o;0

  • so glad they changed the role of willow!

  • its cool that they put the song salvation from the punk rock band rancid

  • They should have kept the "Dirty Girls" bit! That was hilarious!

  • so happy they recast willow, alyson hannigan is so much better

  • OMG EVERYONE'S HAIR!

  • she looks good with the brown hair but I perfer Buffy and Sara Michelle as a blonde....also love Allyson as willow cant imagine anyone else so glad for the recast. and if they had to recast zander he has a identical twin so they would'nt have had to go far....remember the eppisode where zander split into two zanders it wasnt camera tricks his twin played the counter part

  • @liachel08 Xander

  • does anyone else find this very very strange? its like some other altrnative world thing........................i­ts kind of freaking me out

  • God!! How Cute Does She Look With Her Bubble Gum. I Always Have And Always Will Love Sarah Michelle <3

  • Comment removed

  • Gah! I rewatched the actual pilot a few days ago, and recognized some lines in here. So glad they got Alyson Hannigan for the real pilot! She's a waybetter actor and she referred Nerf Herder to Joss Whedon to play that awesome theme!

  • If they kept this Willow... I couldn't imagine her as a lesbo :O

  • idk about anyone bout cardelia looks like kim kardiashian

  • BTW.. Kudos on the find!!!

  • What the...I never knew there was another Willow.. Thank Gawd for the recast..that girl was horrible!

  • i dont like the willow on here :( she cant act. but they were smart cuz allyson hannigan is amazing

  • Lol its actually a little hard to watch without the Willow we all know and love.

  • Willow gained 50 pounds got non-...willow and became horrible at acting. Would Buffy be the same if they kept her?NO

  • Joss... Joss... Joss...

    smh

  • Lol willow's a fat ass

  • I cant stop thinking that they had to shoot this stuff twice...with different people and slightly different dialouge

  • wow this is trippy..

  • This Willow cant even act!!! How did she even make it on to the pilot?!?

  • Man darla looks so much different in the later seasons

  • This Was From 1996

    The 1st Season Aired 1997

  • why r ppl showing this version of buffy with that willow? its not the real version so whats the point? i prefer the other wilow for sure xxxx

  • 2:20 damn nature you scary!!!!

  • I dont like this Willow, i just don't see her as a bad Witch and a lesbian, Thank god they changed her. By the way Xander looks really hot in this pilot than the one they aired.

  • Is the first season all in black and white?

  • @Darkbeautyellise75 This is not the first season, this is the unaired pilot. Description ;) The first season is all in color.

  • @Kristin29789 It is the first season. It is just the quality of the video that makes it look like black and white.

  • @Kristin29789 Jesus Children! The shows' not THAT old. :)

  • @Darkbeautyellise75 This isn't in black&white lol

  • @Darkbeautyellise75 This isn't supposed to be in black and white it's because it's been ripped from video and the quality isn't great

  • @Darkbeautyellise75 no i own all 7 season and none of them are in black and white

  • @BuffyTheVampireSlyr Yes, Alyson Hannigan is definitely the best Willow, but the Willow in the comic books is a red-head because Alyson Hannigan is - all the Buffy-related books and comics came after the TV series.

  • i wonder how the girl who plays Willow in this felt when a ginger took her role.......

  • @solano429

    she died her hair ginger, fool

  • @DepressedSnail her natural hair colour is reddish-brown she didn't dye it. 

  • 2:15 holy sh*t that almost made me jump out of my seat

  • the blonde one in the beggining isn't the bad vampire from season 1???and by the way is the dexter's ex wife...:P

  • @GreekGhostCountry Yep. The vampire Darla.

  • @GreekGhostCountry I'm so glad you pointed out she's from Dexter because it was BUGGING me. Thank you!

  • omg that willow is..........

  • What's with the color of this episode??

  • @LilacSreya this was made back in the 90's so im guessing the creators of the show havent remastered it by the time this was posted. either that or this was the only version the uploader could find

  • @rosarylegend1 Um.. 90's is not that old, color films were made as back as 40's/50's. At 00:01 its written that this video doesn't has clear sound, is not for airing and was Revised on 05/03/96. It was really remastered because I watched the colored version of this on YouTube only. So that's why I asked 'what's with the color of THIS episode/video?'.

  • @LilacSreya oh sorry *sits in a corner*

  • @rosarylegend1 Its okay, your guess was close. :)

  • kalacas no madregas

  • did anyone else notice at 2:59 it doesn't say sunnydale high? :)

  • god... it's weird. i just finished "chosen" & now it's like nothing ever happened... aw! buffy looks so cute <3

  • "What kind of name is Buffy?"

    "Hey, Aphrodesia!"

    LOL

  • so glad that they changed willow

  • LOL Still fun. I can see why they didn't air this one though, it's a bit all over the place. Annnd still entertaining. ;D I have the whole series on DVD, unfortunatly I seem to have misplaced season two and I want a marathon. =-= But it's nowhere on here! >/ Oh well, I'll find it eventually, so long as it wasn't stolen. Thanks for putting up the unaired one, I've never seen it before.

  • @sylverclaws you can watch buffy season 2 on netflix 

  • @kittencutie109 Yeah, but then I'd have to pay for something I already paid for. lol I'm broke as is and don't have a netflix subscription/account/whatever you need for it, I just know it's money per month.

  • Some people asking about Cordelia being in here and being bashed...Keep in mind, not all of us are old people that watched Buffy when it started, I for one, was like ten when it did. Some may have come across an episode of it and looked it up on here for the rest. Cordelia isn't in all of the Buffy seasons, but is in all of the Angel seasons, atleast here and there until its end. lol Simply answering the question would be nice, if you can't, then keep your comments to yourselves over insulting.

  • @sylverclaws First of all, I don't think it's wrong to ask about something you don't know. I'm not bashing anyone. Second of all, I was SEVEN when Buffy started and I watched it through, so please don't make assumptions that, just because we followed the show, we must be old. Third of all, since when does someone three years older than me use OLD PEOPLE as an insult? Jeez, grow up. You're, like, 24.

  • @silenceophobe The old people was a joke not an insult, seeing as the show isn't a hundred years old. lol And as I didn't see a comment from you previously, I obviously wasn't aiming it at you to begin with, but the people calling other's idiots for a question. Read the comment Krenxy sent to sasuke for not knowing Cordelia started in Buffy before you bitch about being insulted, you dip. lol

  • @silenceophobe Also, the fact SOME people did not discover the show and follow it like some of us did, does not make one old. I meant that some people weren't around yet and only recnetly discovered it on the TV, seeing as, oh my god RERUNS are playing now! =O Yes, they looked it up, found out new stuffs and asked questions. What right do others have to call them retards for it? None at all, that makes them look like shits.

  • wtf willow looks like 40 years old.

  • idk

  • OMFG Willow!!!!!!

  • woah, so weird to see the first episode :') 

  • great show and episode..i missed watching this episode :o thanks 4 the upload!!^^

  • This willow's a bad character...

  • im glad they changed willow, when i imagine this girl going les, i picture her all butch

  • BUFYY DRAWING ON MY CHANNEL! IL HER SO MUCH!

  • BUFYY DRAWING ON MY CHANNEL! IL HER SO MUCH!

  • y is it in black in whigt

  • just adding to the masses saying amen they recast willow as alyson! no offense to this girl but still

  • Women---->>>they always kill ya!!!

  • Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but is the man who plays the principal the same guys who plays Sandy in Glee?

  • This willow is cute but she cant act

  • Ok.... Everybody's the same except for fucking WILLOW

  • Thanks! It is a pity that this pilot is not on DVDs...

  • Thank Alyson Hannigan was Willow instead of... Who the hell is she? I recognize her but I can't figure out who she is.

  • wow..so glad they went with the one that actually aired...

  • Dude, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Life.

  • I luv this show:)......Can u pleaseee upload more episodes from Season 1?

  • I don't know why people are hating on the actress for being fat. She's quite lovely if a little round. But acting wise she doesn't feel like Willow. She seems cheerful and nice enough, but she doesn't have the awkward but cute charm that everyone identifies with the character. I feel bad for actress, getting this close and then not making it, but I do prefer Alyson from the little bit I've seen.

  • Stephen Tobolowsky was the original Principal Flutie? Man, that's one bit of casting I wish they hadn't changed!

  • omg this so weird just think this could have had the other willow on it instead of this one and then we would still think it was weird because we would have been used to the other. i love btvs have all the seasons and in my opinion they should have made more of them.

  • This is SO weird... same lines, same place, different people.

  • Imagine this Willow being with Oz...:O

    And this Willow being with Tara and Kennedy :O lol :)

  • I much prefer the actual episode to this... And i'm so glad they got Alyson to play Willow...She's awsome :)

  • This Willow is shocking, no wonder they switched, the series would have been horrific if not.

  • This Willow is shocking, no wonder they switched, the series would have been horrific if not.

  • the dirty girls???? OMG classic, there are some things i like and some i don't

  • y is it grayscale?

  • Was Xander and Willow going to get together in this show? Would she have been with Oz? lol

  • @JenLoLace no because willows gay

  • I like this principal flutie better :)

  • The Library is gigantic. WTF

  • I'm so happy they decided to go with an attractive Willow.

  • @TheDCSailor the Willow on here is attractive

  • @TheDCSailor yer being sarcastic right? i can't picture ANYONE besides alyson hannigan being willow :) 

  • Wow this Willow sux..Alyson Hannigan is such a better actress and makes the character way more interesting. This Willow kind of seemed fake.

  • I'm soooooooooooooooo glad that Alyson Hannigan was Willow

  • This is actually better... It shows more how Buffy was a popular girl in LA... and how she's scared of whats going to happen :)

  • This is actually better... It shows more how Buffy was a popular girl in LA... 

  • I actually liked this better in a few ways, more than the actual episode.

    Joss Whedon is so freaking shallow, I swear to god!

    All he EVER casts are pretty girls. And the ONE time there's an ordinary girl and what does he do? Recasts her for a prettier one and then gives HER a makeover to make her look ordinary.

    Like, What the fuck?

  • This seems so rushed compared to the series premiere. Reminded me way too much about the movie.

  • Ahhh! Rancid song! :D

  • XD AWESOME Opening!

  • Welcome to Hellmouth was sooooooooooooooooo much better =) glad they never aired this fn episode.

  • wow this is since 1997 right and thats when i was born

  • And Persia White was on here too hell yeah!

  • So Julie Benz(Darla was on the unaired pilot)
