Buffy geeks everywhere are outraged that Fox would kill a cult movie experience so clearly by and for the fans. I have to note here that, though I'm not a Buffy fan, I used to be roommates with the founder and MC of the Buffy musical, Clinton McClung.

Those fuckers over at 20th Century pioneered the fandom cease & desist letters of the late 90s/early 2000s. I'm not surprised that they've put a stop to something that probably sells more of their precious DVDs.
