I think we're halting the Buffy rewatch again, halfway through S5, but much was learned.

Things that mostly work, in Buffy:

Buffy doing comedy
Giles
Cordelia
Joyce
Spike
Principal Schneider
The Mayor
Xander-focused episodes
Xander post-highschool
Faith/Mayor relationship
Faith after S3
The roommate episode
The dream episode
"Hush"
Anya
Jonathan
All Giles locations
When the show mocks itself
Buffy/Dawn sister fighting
Cordelia's screams
Credit sequence
Spike's feelings for Buffy

Things that mostly don't:

Season 1
Every major villain but the Mayor
Buffy
Willow
Angel
Drusilla
Faith in S3
Oz
Tara
The show's grating lingo
The ridiculous graveyard
Buffy/Angel relationship
Discussion of relationships
Miss Calendar
When anyone's out for revenge
When anyone's any kind of addict
When anyone's grieving anything
All non-Spike flashbacks
Riley
The Institute
All creatures presented seriously
All prophecies
Anything "ancient"
Dawn's screams

Always wanted to like the show as much as people said they did.
