I watched Buffy S4 first, then watched Angel S1 after - it worked for me....

For me it was just the opposite. I started out as a Buffy and Angel fan and then became a Firefly fan. I had my doubts when I heard of the premise Sci-fi Western with no aliens.
But decided to give it a try. Got excited over the show when I saw the promos for it. Of course the rest is history.

Dietcoke, thank you for the warm welcome to the forums.
Shorny: Yes, Buffy whines sometimes. I just ignored it because it is not every episdoe and there are ones where she is really good. Angel is a bit taciturn and too world weary at times. So, I can see how someone wouldn't completely identify with him.
re: Watching order
Because I watched the shows in the wrong order, I didn't have some of the back story when I watched the later episodes of Buffy and the earlier episodes of Angel. I would recommend watching them in the order that they were aired: B1, B2, B3, B4/A1, B5/A2, B6/A3, B7/A4, A5. Within the dual seasons I am not sure if it makes much difference if you watch them simulataneously or one after the other.
It is a major investment of time (144 Buffy episodes and 110 Angels) to watch these shows. It took me months and by the time I got through, partly because I watched them in the wrong order, I was vague on some of the earlier episodes that I had watched. So, I would recommend watching them in the "correct" order.
I do notice dialog similarities and character traits that ended up in Firefly. That was fun, to see an earlier version of a Firefly thing.
To me Buffy started "teenage" and became more adult. Angel started adult but Firefly was the most mature show of all.
Is it really 24 more days?

I'm an Angel/Buffy fan that became a Firefly fan. I liked Firefly a lot better after I bought the DVD's and watched the episodes in the correct order. Boy, did Fox blow it big time.
As time went on, I really started getting into the characters. Buffy was much better in Season 2 and so was Angel. You could already see Firefly getting better as season 1 was going along. It would have been a great show. Now it's going to be a great movie. :)

Nope; neither one for me. They hold no interest at all. If Joss hadn't done Firefly I'd probably have never heard of him.

I didn't do it.
You can't prove it.

I just finished watching the 7th season of Buffy, and this weeked I'll start Angel. The first Buffy season was so-so, but I couldn't stop watching once the second season started. Wow!! Now comes Angel, which I've heard is just as good as BtVS.

I started watching Buffy when it came out on TV in 1997. Got hooked almost immediately! Didn't really get into Angel that much though.
I now have all 7 seasons of Buffy - agree s1 is kinda lacking something when you compare to FF or even later Buffy seasons - as well as, of cause, FF, but do not have any of the Angel seasons.
In short, I was a Buffy fan first, then Firefly.

Yo, people, this is important.
It's more important than Serenity.
It's more important than Angel.
It's more important than Buffy.
Now repeat after me:

Joss Whedon is a gift from God.
Joss Whedon is a gift from God.

Look, if mahayana Buddhists can make the workd better by chanting aum mani padme hum, who are we to disagree just because we have a different mantra?
Joss Whedon is a gift from God.
Joss Whedon is a gift from God.
Joss Whedon is a gift from God.
Joss Whedon is a gift from God.
