I run a Firefly RPG campaign, and occasionally run one-shots.

I also gave the DVD set to a family member for Christmas, and he watched the complete series in a few days (hook, line, and sinker!)

I say "Hey, this is a damn good show. Watch it."

It works with most of my friends as soon as I tell them Joss Whedon did it. I got them hooked on Buffy, I got 'em hooked on Angel, and I'll get 'em hooked on this, too.

Simon: You...you came for us.
Mal: You're on my crew.
Simon: Right. I guess I just didn't...you don't even like me.
Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

I just watched it for the first time this past weekend and was sad to see that it was so shortlived.

I went on Amazon and recommended it in "addition to" every sci fi thing I could find :) Dunno if that'll do any good, but can't hurt. I bought it because we liked Buffy.

Also bought another two DVD sets, one of which I'm sending to my sister and one which I'll pass around my friends. Good tv is hard to come by. It's nice there will be a movie, but an hour a week is a far better fix for something you like than 2 hours a year!

I started writing stuff on one dollar bills.

In the very narrow space between the main bill print and the edge of the bill I wrote these 3 phrases.

1. Firefly, Keep Flying!
2. www.serenitymovie.net
3. Join the crusade

Item 1 in the upper left
item 2 in the upper right
item 3 in the bottom center

get a new bill and repeat. Then spend them and get more.

You can, of course, insert any other website that you choose. Also be aware that when either the federal reserve or local banks find money like this it's set aside for destruction. The term for this is "mutilated money". Such bills have either been ripped, worn thin, or in this case defaced. So spend them locally. Don't exchange them at banks for more 1's or the bank will earmark them and they'll be doomed.

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

Well I am a hardcore scaper and have done a lot to get the word out about that show.

-If you can host a fan table at a convention. Toronto Trek is just 25 bucks.
- Talk it up everywhere on message boards. On several boards I am nicknamed the Farscape Maven
-Buy merchandise and wear. I am off to purchase some cool stuff from 11th hour. This really works. I have a Farscape button and won't believe how much attention it gets.

I have a few more suggestions but that is all I can think of right now and I have to go :)

I grab random kids in my dorms and with the promise of a couple of free beers (and the rep as a good judge of entertainment) I hook these hapless youngsters on the Firefly verse. It's worse than handing out pixie stixs at a daycare.

It usually only takes the first episode and I have them coming over after work to get in a couple eps a night. I've watched the series probably 20-30 times since I bought the DVD's last fall. (But I love it every time)

That's a good one!!! *evil maniacal laughter*

Isn't it fun kindling an obsession in someone? ;)

Someone in fact asked me about my Serenity button yesterday :)

I've misplaced it now, but one site recommends donating a set to your local public library.

I've ordered another set from Overstocks.com (same price as the used ones at Amazon) for just that purpose.

How many people will have at least browsed the shelf at the library between now and September (or whatever the revised release date turns out to be)?

And there's the bonus that I won't have to explain my obsession to all of them personally.

I am trying to convince my friends to watch my dvd's. Which works for some of them, but some of them don't listen.

And I posted about it several times at www.lost-forum.com, to all of the Lost fans, but they mostly ignore me. :) I have managed to convince a few people.

I think I'm gonna try to go to some other tv show message boards, and post on them.
