Mireilleisis - Add me too.

I knew about the show when it was being aired in the US. But I didn't ACTUALLY get to watch any of it (and therefore become completly devoted), until it was cancelled.

I am from the UK and I was VERY lucky to catch it on Sci Fi Channel.

As the show has not been shown over here in Germany on TV anyway, I've become a fan after watching the DVDs in january 2004.

Hi, I'm in the UK and knew nothing about it until my sister in the US told me it would be on the UK SciFi channel (which I can't get).

But she went on about it so much I downloaded the eps and loved it so much I bought the DVD. Now I'm going to the Starfury con in April!

Still flyin' !

as in my profile:

Tethys, from all over. Like Haken and Browncoat1, I have been a fan since "The Job" first came on.
Stumbled onto this site not too long after it was put up, but wasn't very involved, and came back six months ago.

To know that, surely you'll need to compare the number of new fans with the number of old fans!? And counting fans in countries where it hasn't been shown or was shown after it was cancelled in the US is probably gonna skew the maths. For myself, despite being in the UK I was a fan while it was still showing.

I think it was cancelled about the time it was shown in Sci-Fi in the UK? I was a fan since "Train Job" was shown on Sci-Fi UK, think they showed them in the right order here, but I was a teensie bit anti as a long time Joss fan who felt he was in too many projects. Also the number of characters did my simple head in (just from the photos) until I actually saw the show. I'm pretty certain it had been cancelled by the end of the UK showings anyway, I desperately waited for the R1 DVDs.

I don't know whether you'd consider someone posting through someone else "here" (my wife has posted through me before), but my wife didn't really like FF when it was on the air. She became a fan after we watched it when I got the DVD's.
