Yes, it really is. Why is this surprising? The show hasn't aired in the
US yet, and I severley doubt it'll hit Video before someone (in this
case, Sky) has started airing it.

Fair do's - but 'surprising' because I didn't know it hadn't started
airing in the US yet... I suppose the shift to a new network slows
things down a little, and I've been watching all the series on video,
because I don't have broadcast tv access (saw a couple of episodes when
visiting my mother, and was hooked), so my finger was off the pulse as
to what was being shown when - I just bought 'em from amazon as they
came out, and had a few major vidbinges - 8 hours and a few bags of
nachos went the way of soap bubbles on more than one occasion.

Not as much as you might think. Buffy is only a week behind Angel
[which is on the original networks]; some shows start new seasons even
later than that. I know of one series that isn't starting until
November. With a few channel-based exceptions (Sci Fi Channel,
Showtime, HBO?), fall -- September or October -- is the usual time for
starting shows, starting seasons. So not starting until today isn't
all that surprising, if you're aware of US tv patterns.

Not at all, really. Perhaps one week, when compared to last year, but I
don't think even that...

Yep. And after tonight (about what, 3.5 hours to go before the
premiere?) they'll be 'in synch', with Angel showing it's ep 3 on monday
next, and Buffy doing likewise (since the premiere is a double ep,
production numbers 6ABB01 and 6ABB02..)

Indeed. Plus, the whole WTC disaster pushed back a number of season
premieres.
