Crazy Credits

For the three first season 6 (the first UPN season) episodes (Bargaining
parts 1 and 2, and Afterlife), the ending credits had almost 3/4 parts of
the screen occupied by the Buffy logo (as seen on the opening with the moon
behind), and the credits appearing under it. This was later returned to the
normal black screen with the credits. See more »
