Definitely a BF - but I didn't actually get to see the show until AD. I managed to be out of the country the entire time Fox broadcast the show, and had to wait until it came out on DVD! As a Buffy fan from Season 1, this was quite a dissapointment!

AD here
Although I'm a big Buffy/Angel fan, I'm in the UK where Firefly only aired on Sci-fi. It was also during my first year of uni and I didn't have a telly of my own, let alone access to satellite, so there was no easy way to watch it.

Fast forward to last year, when I came across a Buffy news site linking to a page with all the Firefly eps for download. I was bored and looking for something to fill the gap left by the cancellation of Angel, so I decided 'Hey, I'll give it a try' and downloaded The Train Job.
Unfortunately this site still had the eps listed in the order F*X had shown them, but it didn't matter, cos I was hooked, and I'd downloaded and watched the rest of the series within a week. I then bought the DVDs from play.com and rewatched them all again within another week.
Nowadays I just put an episode on every so oftem when I'm feeling down, or not in the mood for working, and it perks me right up again.

So far, I've converted at least one more Browncoat (though it was relatively easy, she was a big Buffy fan, so I got her the DVDs for Christmas, and within a week she was quoting lines at me).
I'm currently in the process of converting another, he's borrowed my DVDs, and was a little unsure at first, but has stuck with it and is now half way through disc 2. He did seem a little confused about Serenity/The Train Job until I explained how F*X had screwed with the pilot.

Only problem is now I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms without my DVDs, and I'm seriously considering picking up a second set!

During UK Broadcast for me.
I was flicking, a big part of the fun of having tv, and happened upon something that caught my interest on the SciFi channel. Wasn't quite sure what it was, but managed to catch it again and again. I ended up watching several of the episodes several times and yet always missed the same ones. Even so I was completely drawn in and hooked.
I made my boyfriend watch it, who promptly shipped the box set from the states. I borrowed that and watched it, then finally bought my own set when they were released here. I lent it out before I'd finished watching them again so had to buy another set! Have just been to my first ever con this weekend and of course it was total Firefly. (to put it in perspective I've been a big stargate fan for quite a few years and I've never been tempted enough to go to a con, yet a show that I barely saw on tv and has less than half a season's worth of episodes on dvd not only prompted me to go to a con (despite health conerns), but I enjoyed it much more than i would have a con for a show i've been following for years!)

AD..........

I have my Buffy dvds and it pretty much was the only show I watched on TV till it too ended. So really I've never been much of a tv watcher since about ninth grade (I'm twenty two now).

My BF lured me into watching Firefly when he got the dvd set at Wal-Mart and told me it was by the man who created Buffy. That was all the recommendation I needed. I watched the whole set in less than a week.

I Love my BF! Yes I do.

BF
The ads for the show hooked me in. I could barely wait the two weeks or so for the show to start.

AD-not my fault...I'm an Aussie and the dvds came out here before it did on TV!

Well folks, this thread and the release of the trailer finally got me off my posterior to register for the site and respond. And, since I've been watching the show since its first broadcast epi (for which I waited with bated breath based on both TV previews and print ads, so I guess I qualify as BF, despite being a newby on this site). I figured I'd better sign up now, so that I'm no longer a newby by the time the BDM comes out! I'm not much of a TV watcher (I spend too much time reading), and Firefly was the first show I had really looked forward to in a long time. But I didn't even get to see all the epi's 'cause F***s kept moving it around, so when I heard on NPR about the DVD's for "the best show nobody ever saw" I bought them immediately and have been wearing them out ever since. Even made a few converts onthe way. I've been an occasional lurker for quite a while, and it's very interesting reading what y'all come up with. I'm continually amazed at the diversity of thought and opinion on the site, and yet it stays pretty civil on the whole. Nice work! (And I'm glad I finally came in from the cold.)

DB - Fell in love with the show when the captain put some lug through the engine. Hated the near constant preemption and didn't manage to see all the episodes until I got the DVD's.
