Alyson Hannigan's favorite 'Buffy' episodes

Yes, yes, we know Alyson Hannigan has a prominent role on a hit sitcom (she's Lily, the lusty kindergarten teacher on CBS' How I Met Your Mother), and it's been a long time since she pulled up stakes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Still, if you were going to interview the erstwhile Willow, as Whitney Pastorek did for next week's Entertainment Weekly, you too would be unable to restrain yourself from asking Hannigan what her favorite Buffy episodes were.

Fortunately, the actress was a good sport and offered her four faves. Not surprisingly, one of them featured Alexis Denisof, who later became Mr. Hannigan. Here are the actress' picks, along with her comments:

1. ''Hush'' (Season 4; creepy floating demons the Gentlemen rob everyone of the power of speech.) ''It was a whole new way of figuring out how to act, the not-talking thing.''

2. ''The Body'' (Season 5; Buffy's mom dies from an aneurysm; the episode had no background score.) ''I just remember the no sound, no music -- it was so disconcerting.''

3. ''Ted'' (Season 2; John Ritter guests as Buffy's mom's evil robot suitor.) ''John Ritter was the best. We would all just hang out in his trailer and be like, 'Hi, John Ritter!!' and he didn't care. And, we got to shoot at a mini-golf place.''

4. ''Dopplegangland'' (Season 3; a spell gone awry spawns Willow's nefarious twin.) ''I was in the vampire Willow outfit, and Alexis had some holy water, and he made this noise, like FFFFT!! And it just cracked me up. I had such a crush on him.''

These may have been Hannigan's favorite episodes to shoot, but were they your favorites to watch? What's on your best-of-Buffy list?
 
I'm not really suprised that she chose Hush and The Body since they are praised and loved by practically everyone, rightfully. But it's totally cool that she chose Doppelgangland. It's one of my personal favorites and one of the best Willow-centric bits IMO, the story is brilliant and Alyson as Willow trying to act like Vamp Willow or vice versa, rocks my socks.
 
No not really surpised by Hush or The Body either, and Doppelgangland really is an awesome episode.. Ted idk, but Aly's comment to that one made me smile. I can totally hear her voice to all those comments, she is so cute!
 
Heh, awesome that she chose Ted. Not that I actually really like that episode or anything but, still, sort of cool, yup. Can't say I'm surprides with the other choices though. Good choices (although she's probably one of the only ones who didn't like OMWF). Gotta love Aly 🙂
 
lol... yeah Ted wasnt really a favourite of mine either and i think that hush and the body are good... the body was really sad..... and a Doppelgangland was a hell sick episode.. willow rocks!!!

Not surprised she didn't chose it, she didn't like singing and all.

Yeah I know, just saying, it's ashame she didn't like it 'cause I my mind nothing could ever bee cooler or more fun than making a musical episode, but obviously singing isn't really her thing, heh...
 
DEFINITELY agree with that... I don't remember Ted so much but Hush, the body & Doppelgangland are just so excellent, just different and asking so much from the actors... and her as a Vampire was pretty interesting

I'm surprised she didnt talked about S6 though... I know she said she didnt like at all playing scary veiny willow, but I would have thought she would say that she is proud or sth, to accomplish such a work... I mean hello, the lil cute Willow turning into that... sooo much work, it's so intense with Tara's death too...
 
i love every episode she chose especially doppelgangland... Funny episode AWESOME
 
I didn't really know that she would pick all of those, but I did suspect a few. The Body, definitely and I guess Hush too.

I knew she wasn't going to pick Once, More With Feeling because of her throat infection.

Doppelgangland, yes...of course, Willow's evil twin!
Hush, I wasn't sure but now that I think of it, of course!
