	Whedon's script for the original movie was altered against his wishes, and the movie did not do well financially. However, he was able to make a deal with 20th Century Fox to produce a television show, which premiered on March 10, 1997 and went on to become one of the signature shows of The WB. The show was a unique blend of horror, humor, contemporary high school drama, long-running complex story lines, and strong characterization. It also featured an unusual number of strong female roles, including [[Buffy Summers]] (the Slayer), [[Willow Rosenberg]] (her friend, a [[witch]]), [[Cordelia Chase]] (reluctant rich-girl ally), [[Jenny Calendar]] (technophile and gypsy with a revenge mission), [[Drusilla (vampire)\|Drusilla]] (a [[women and madness\|insane]] clairvoyant vampire, and the sire and lover of [[Spike (vampire)\|Spike]]), [[Faith (slayer)\|Faith]] (another Slayer, "activated" when the Slayer [[Kendra (slayer)\|Kendra]] was killed), [[Anya]] (the Vengeance Demon-turned-human), [[Tara Maclay\|Tara]] (Willow's Wiccan lover), and Buffy's magically created sister [[Dawn Summers\|Dawn]].
