Why it’s still the best: To celebrate the anniversary of the landmark episode “Once More, With Feeling,” four experts discuss its brilliance - and its enduring legacy. They wrote the story that rocked “Real Housewives.” And they still have questions: The Times reporters covering Tom and Erika Girardi explain what “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” revealed this season - and what they still want to know.Ģ0 years ago, “Buffy” aired the perfect musical episode.
