There's more Riley fans out there than would care to admit it!
So, Chrisisall, you'll have to keep watching so you too can join in the "How good/bad was Riley?" debate! (that's Season 4 btw so you've a way to go!)
"Why would I want to leave Serenity?"
"Can't think of a reason."
Over 100 Serenity screencaps now available at www.destinything.com (yep, bought me a proper name!)

I bought the first seasons of Buffy, Angel, 24, and The Shield during one of those sales Fox had last summer. I fully intended that that would be it. Now, I own every season of all of those shows (S3 of the Shield being the one exception).
Yes, you will be hooked if you keep buying. Just do it on ebay and buy used sets, to lessen the hit to your pocketbook.

Re ebay - Just had a quick peek and there are loads of box at very reasonable prices.

Mal, your point is well made. I'm not even 1/3 through S2, and what am I doing right after I post here? Next Buffy episode up. I am definitly going to get S3, and by the end I know I'll probably want more. I will end up seeing them all, some way or other, if only to keep my brain off the impending BDM!
PS how's your back now? I have scholeosis and the docs said no more kung fu but hell with 'em 'cause if I didn't do stuff that hurt, I'd do nuthin' at all...livin' is painfull as well as fun Chrisisall

Thanks for lookin', I'll be checkin' it out as soon as I sell some old Spider-man and X-men comics. They're permanently in my head, but Joss' stuff is mostly new to me ('cept Toy Story, my kid made me watch it a hundred times!).

He'll do that, sometimes.
I still like him, though...he makes me laugh. Kind of a neat character, as we find out more about him. ^_^

Okat, today I got S3! I can't stop. IT'S ALL THIS THREADS FAULT!
BTW favourite ep so far: Passion. Good Angel's voiceover on a show with Angelus was just too weird! Really well written.
If S3 is that good...
The switch to 35mm! Chrisisall

This is a weird coincidence. I've been re-watching S2 the last few days after having not seen it for a while (in fact I watched "Passion" last night). Personally my favorite season is the 3rd (so yes, it's that good!), but 2 has always been a close 2nd. 4 and 5 are a change-up but I think they're also great. Just not as great as 2 and 3.
You absolutely have to watch through Season 5! Because you just do and when you see it you'll see why.
Season 6 is (for the most part) where Buffy fans tend to start seriously disagreeing. But once you've seen 1-5, you'll have to both satisfy your curiosity and form your own opinion.
If you can't afford to buy them, rent them. Try to watch them on DVD rather than the trimmed and commercially interrupted re-runs.
It may also be a good idea to start watching ANGEL along with Season 4 of BUFFY because that's when the ANGEL spin-off starts.
Rent, borrow, beg, steal (or actually be patient and save your money), but do not deny yourself the (mostly excellent) saga of the Buffyverse!
Oh yeah, and avoid spoilers as much as you can. Experience what happens to these great characters without knowing what's coming.
I'm gonna go finish off Season 2 right now.
Unfortunately, I loaned out Seasons 3-5 to a friend of mine (who does post on this board every now and then and has yet to return them) so I can't move onto S3 when I'm done with 2. But that's my problem.
