Televised Morality: The Case of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is a 2004 academic publication relating to the fictional Buffyverse established by TV series, Buffy and Angel.
Book description[]
The increasing frequency of moralist critiques of television shows is an acknowledgment of television's growing role in the shaping of a culture's moral values. Yet many moralist critiques misconstrue the full moral message of a show due to a restrictive focus on sex, violence, and profanity. Televised Morality explores the nature of moral discourse on television by using Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a case study.
