The Stepford Wives
The ‘Stepford’ mention in the Buffy episode Ted refers to The Stepford Wives, a 1975 movie about a town in Connecticut where all the women seem to live perfect lives as housewives but turn out to be robots. The entire episode is a slightly different take on the movie. The movie was remade in 2004, starring the ubiquitous Nicole Kidman.
In the Angel episode Sacrifice, Lorne says, “Does anyone else feel like the last fiesty wife in Stepford?”
