The relaunching had an effect, as the season premiere attracted the second highest rating of the series, with 7.7 million viewers. Commentators of the entertainment industry including "The Village Voice", "PopMatters", "Allmovie", "The Hollywood Reporter", "The Washington Post" have cited "Buffy" as "influential". Some citing it as the ascent of television into its golden age. Stephanie Zacharek, in the "Village Voice", wrote "If we really are in a golden age of television, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a harbinger." Robert Moore of "Popmatters" also expressed these sentiments, writing "TV was not art before "Buffy", but it was afterwards", suggesting that it was responsible for re-popularizing long story arcs on primetime television. Its effect on programming was quickly evident. Autumn 2003 saw several new shows going into production in the U.S. that featured strong females who are forced to come to terms with supernatural power or destiny while trying to maintain a normal life. These post-"Buffy" shows include "Dead Like Me", "Joan of Arcadia", "Tru Calling", "Veronica Mars" and "Teen Wolf". Bryan Fuller, the creator of "Dead Like Me", said that ""Buffy" showed that young women could be in situations that were both fantastic and relatable, and instead of shunting women off to the side, it puts them at the center." In the United Kingdom, the lessons learned from the impact of "Buffy" influenced the revived "Doctor Who" series (2005–present), as well as its spinoff series "Torchwood". Several "Buffy" alumni have gone on to write for or create other shows. Such endeavors include "Tru Calling" (Douglas Petrie, Jane Espenson and lead actress Eliza Dushku), "Wonderfalls" (Tim Minear), "Point Pleasant" (Marti Noxon), "Jake 2.0" (David Greenwalt), "The Inside" (Tim Minear), "Smallville" (Steven S. DeKnight), "Once Upon a Time" (Jane Espenson), and "Lost" (Drew Goddard and David Fury). Meanwhile, the Parents Television Council complained of efforts to "deluge their young viewing audiences with adult themes". The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), however, rejected the Council's indecency complaint concerning the violent sex scene between Buffy and Spike in "Smashed".
