One thing I should really clarify is that I was looking at both as stories regardless of media. So it could have been a peice of music (say 'Fur Elise' versus 'As Time Goes By'). It doesn't matter what form it takes as far as I'm concerned. It's all information regardless of the mode of delivery.
As for being that they are both heavily quoted and frequently referenced in pop culture can you furnish me with some examples re: Buffy? I can think of perhaps a throwaway line or two in Jim Butcher's 'Harry Dresden' novels and another novel or two but other than that the brain is coming up empty.

Thanks for the counter-point though.
