I've been around since the beginning as well. Only caught the Train Job by accident. I think I was watching some crappy movie or AFV or something, channel surfed, caught Firefly just as the episode was beginning, and haven't stopped watching since.

I *heart* Firefly.

Does Blue Sun sponser the Blue Man Group?

Been watching the show since Train Job aired.

Ditto on all counts!

My wife and I picked up Train Job because we were Joss fans, but it wasn't until a certain kick near the end that I was truly hooked. As with most, I thought I'd missed something, and was confused by the lack of a proper series premiere, but hey - it's Fox.

I too, have been onboard since the beginning. I remember seeing commercials and thinking to myself "Self, that show looks mighty interesting." and then I'd reply "I couldn't agree with you more Self. Oh and look at that, the show is made by that guy who makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer -why it must be TV gold."

When I first saw Train Job I remember wondering where that heavily promoted "girl in a box" was. At one point I had every episode recorded. I watched them until my VCR destroyed the tapes. I was sad to say the least , but then my friend told me about the DVDs coming out and I was all . Not long after that I found my way here.

I was definitely intrigued from the previews but as fate had it my wife and I missed the first couple televised episodes. We picked it up, I think it was Shindig, later and were hooked. As it was, we didn't even know about Fox's mangling and skipping episodes until "Serenity" was shown at the end of the run. We were ticked off like the rest when it was cancelled and beyond ecstasy when the DVD was announced. Pre-ordered the set the first day it showed up on Amazon, when it already said it was sold out during pre-order.

I had heard about this "Sci-fi-ish show from the guy who made Buffy" that was due to premiere in about 3 months, and knew then that I was going to be a fan.

Then I watched "The Train Job" and knew I was right... and that the show was doomed to failure, because it was a well written, well shot, well acted program with an interesting premise... airing on FOX on Friday nights...

Once again, no one learned from Star Trek's sacrifice...

Been a loyal fan since 'Our Mrs. Reynolds.' I saw the previews and was eager to watch, but I was out the first two Fridays and, being extremely absent-minded, didn't set my VCR. Was hooked before the end of the teaser for that episode. Does that count?

I was there back in the day. Much love for the intro and the music. I remember how I would see to it that everything in my house would stop whey that toon started to play.

You might say "Diehard" from day one.

Because I am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy? Capitalism. I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on Aisle Three. My wormhole technology... and a free set of steak knives... for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me... welcome to my cold war.
