   Reminds me a lot of X:WP, which was never as "hip" and well promoted,   
   either. Perhaps the reason is that Buffy has that "teenage soap" appeal,   
   while X:WP and Charmed are clearly "genre shows", which we know TV execs   
   don't care for because they consider them "stuff for SF nerds only".
