Reviving an old put-on-hold Step possibility

Mostly, what worked for Buffy was the group dynamic. They found the right kind of people, and ran with it. The fact that they had this light humor running through it, with the characters often coming up with horrible puns or one-liners (often Willow or Buffy saying something apparently without thinking about it, then having to backtrack quickly at the implied innuendo).
I also really liked the fact that they assumed the audience was intelligent and made all manner of references without explanation, confident that the audience would get them. (I also liked the fact that the writers were intelligent enough to make them in the first place!) The one such reference I remember best is Willow saying something about someone going "all Miss Minchin" on her at some point in a later season. No explanation that "Miss Minchin" was the nasty headmistress from the Victorian children's novel "A Little Princess". Just toss out the line and move on.
