That's like examining the influence of the modern fantasy novel by 
asking people about Sword of Shanarra and Eragon. Buffy is a pop-culture 
synthesis of victorian penny-dreadfuls and their post-Universal Studios 
representation in the 20th century. The Buffy TV series is an end 
result, not a cause.

I enjoyed the show, but I wouldn't devote a paper to it.
