I'm horrible, I came to Buffy and watched seasons 1-3 on TV, and then fell out w/ watching TV in general for a couple of years. Later, I picked up the DVD's, and rewatched seasons 1-5. I let season 5 be the end for me, as I heard mostly complaints about season 6 and season 7. I have seen a few episodes from seasons 6 and 7, but to me, Buffy ended when Buffy died.

I too heard the same thing about Anya being killed off for the same reasons as PJ said. I would really love for a tell all about Buffy to come out someday and tell us all what really went on behind the scenes. It would be a best seller.
