I was saying in someone else's LJ that he shouldn't have started Penny off on season 1! I get the feeling that something like Surprise/Innocence with the bad boyfriend morning after would have appealed to Penny more
Now when I watch first season I just adore it, but at the time it took me a little while to warm up fully -- now I love the Master but at the time I thought he was cheesy. (I remember I did not record the show to keep it at the time, and then had to scramble through fannish samizdat when I realized how badly I wanted tapes of first season!)
Yeah I enjoy season 1 more now than I did at the time because it's nice to go back to that place of innocence with the characters, but I can understand why it wouldn't have dated well for someone who is starting off with season 1 for the first time. A lot of it seems like quite traditional horror with the Master terrorising his minions underground, it's really the arrival of Spike and Dru in School Hard that first shakes things up a bit IMO
