My wife was super excited when the DVD's came out and I had only vague recolections of the show being on air - never really saw it. I watched the DVDs with her and fell in love.
So count me in.
We also own two DVD sets, one for lending and one for use. We have purchased two sets as gifts and our lend-copy has netted at least 5 new devotees - the wife's got the actual numbers on that one. Problem is, the people who have the copy right now (and have for six months) love it so much, they haven't exactly gotten around the giving it back. :)
P.S. - I like the idea of buying up tickets to give out the opening week. Maybe I'll buy up a theatre's worth and make people come see it. Who can turn down a free movie?

You can add me.
First time I watched was 3 months after cancellation. A friend of mine had recorded on a tape... But in a couple of days I'll have the FF box set on my hands.
I'm from Brazil. We see everything on FOX 6 months after you guys.
And we still don't have a release date for "Serenity" yet...

I haven't had access to broadcast TV in several years, so I completely missed it the first time around.
A friend showed my boyfriend and I the first DVD when we were over at his place and the show we were going to watch hadn't been returned yet. This was a Friday evening, and the evil friend said we would had to come back next Friday to watch more, since he didn't lend his DVDs out any more. 
By Saturday evening, we were racing to Best Buy before they closed to buy our own DVD set to watch. Finished all of them in 3 days. 
And now I deal in black market beagles.

You an' me both, bruddah, but in my case it was "Ultraviolet". Reckon we both made out.
ps: I became a Firefly fan after the DVD was released in the USA.

Try to look on the bright side: @least yours probably won't get pushed back.

I actually caught a couple of episodes before it was canceled, but didn't become a diehard fan until I bought and watched the box set. Watching the series as Joss envisioned it to be seen made it much easier to understand and enjoy!
If Fox had aired the series from the beginning, with the proper two hour pilot, and kept the episodes in order, I think there would have been far more fans and better ratings from the start.
STANDING ON MY SOAPBOX: "I hate executives (read: those without talent) that second guess and lack confidence in a production they bought (similar to what seems to be happening now over at Universal)! Fox would have caneled M*A*S*H and many other shows that needed time to build a fan base. Shows that are now considered classics! Why do those who lack vision, have so much power in Hollywood? Arrrgh!"
GETTING DOWN OFF OF SOAPBOX: Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.
