Ok so the ABC Family series "Samurai Girl" couldn't be a more blatant rip-off of Buffy if it consciously tried. She's even got an older British mentor who gave her, I shit you not, an untraceable Hello Kitty cell phone. On the plus side her dad's Yakuza and there seem to be nearly constant ninja attacks. There are very few series that can't be improved by the inclusion of ninjas.

I read the books when they first came out, but haven't seen the adaptation yet. The first three books were fun, but the last 3 were godawful--I think there was mroe than one writer contracted to write them.

The part where they didn't even try and cast a Japanese actor kind of pisses me off, but I am thrilled that there is a show out there with an asian lead.
