"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ended 10 years ago on May 20, 2003. Yes, it's been a decade since the Slayer and the Scoobies closed the Hellmouth in Sunnydale, California.

Series star Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to TV opposite Robin Williams with "The Crazy Ones," a new comedy on CBS this fall. At the CBS 2013 upfront red carpet last week, Gellar was surprised by how much time has passed since she last wielded a wooden stake on TV.

"Wait, wait. Hold on. Really?" she replied when The Huffington Post told her the 10th anniversary of the "Buffy" finale was upon us. "Wow. God, you just blew my mind." Williams, who accompanied Gellar on the red carpet said, "It's kind of wonderful."

"It is," Gellar said. "I'm incredibly proud of that show -- proud of everybody on it, of what we did ... You can't be prouder of that show. It still holds up in reruns and I'm blessed every day ... I've been pretty lucky."

Danny Strong, the writer of "Recount" and "Game Change," appeared as Jonathan, a former high-school geek who became one of the villains in Season 6 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and said the show is bigger now than when it was originally on.

"It just gets bigger each year. It's really exciting how much it penetrated this public consciousness in a way. People teach courses about it and there are Joss Whedon courses in universities. People write their dissertations on it," he told The Huffington Post. "It's incredibly flattering and I'm really honored just to have been a part of it. It's very exciting."

I read somewhere that it attracts more academic attention than any other show
 
I totally get her. I'm also like - wow, it's been ten years already! Seems like a long time, lol, but yeah, I guess time flies 😉
 
I don't know why people have such a problem with people working hard and making money from it. I'm sure she does feel lucky that she was on a successful show and doesn't have to scrape by as a waitress while she's trying to make it. What's wrong with that?

Jealousy, my friend! And I'm just as guilty of that. I know all about working my ass off 18+ hours a day, so when I see someone making insane amount of money while I'm also working very hard for peanuts, well I'm bound to be jealous

Now for the actual topic, I'm glad the actors said something about it! And I agree that BtVS has one of the biggest post serie-fandom. Even looking at this board, a lot of people started watching the show after it aired. This is one example of a show that aged extremely well, unlike most stuff on TV now and what used to air in the late 90s early 00s.

Just as a bit of friendly advice from someone who's been there, done that, and walked away smiling, START BUYING STOCK NOW! And reinvest the premiums. It WILL make a difference when the time comes.

If you're referring to me, I have no problem whatsoever with Sarah getting royalties for her work, either on "Buffy," or anywhere else. My comment about royalties was just an obviously missed attempt at humor.

I've got probably more than my share of faults, but jealousy has never been one of them, and if it weren't for my kind and easy going nature, I might easily take offense at the accusation.

I was just talking "people" in general :)
