Heh The Prom just reminded me of my two other favourite shows. The part where Buffy wants a drawer at Angel's is so Alias-y although if it is a ripoff, chronologically Alias ripped it off Buffy and not the other way round. But it's terribly cute in both shows.

And Xander's sock puppet of love is such a Lorelai thing! The voice was totally Lorelai as well. I think there was some dialogue at some point or another in GG, with sock puppets. Or something. Or similar "I love you Xander" stuff.
