As I watched the opening credits to Star Trek VI, a film dedicated to Gene Roddenberry, the king of Sci-Fi, for 30 years he bought us some of the best science fiction to be shown on television.
The existential thought was...that as Gene Roddenberry passed, so Joss Whedon was bought to our attention...Does this mean that we have another 20+ years to go, here's hoping so, we can only hope that Joss is as big as the show that he has created.

Thats thing with all the great minds, its only when they have passed that their true worth is realised.
Look at artists, when they are alive, their work rarely sells, but after their death, it goes like the proverbial hotcakes.
In 20 years, people will look back at the tv of today and realise that BtVS is not only great comedy and good fun, but it also tackles some risky subjects without fear or stereotype and manages to deal with issues that other shows have shyed away from!
God bless Joss, now and forever! (Although I could have happily lived without Angel or Kendra, or SWSNBN, but he cant be perfect all the time!)

I agree with will, Even famous poets where never truley appreciated til the had passed away, eg Robert Burns
I think in in 30yrs BTVS will not only be remembered It will still be looked apon as one of the best tv shows ever. WE LOVE YOU JOSS! THANX FOR SHARING UR TALENT WITH THE WORLD. WE ARE TRULEY HONOURED & PRIVILEGED TO BE ALIVE TO SEE YOUR CREATIONS....
LONG LIVE BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER &
LONG LIVE FAITH!
Faith xx
