The ‘Stepford’ mention in the Buffy episode 2.11 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 4.20 Sacrifice, Lorne says:
“Does anyone else feel like the last fiesty wife in Stepford?”

Stepford is referenced in Angel, when Jasmine takes over to make everyone giggly-happy love-slaves (to quote Lilah). Lorne asks “Anyone else feel like the last feisty wife in Stepford?”
