I'm a fan (duh!), my husband is a fan and our 2 1/2 year old son is a fan! At the end of an episode, our son asks to watch more! He also loves to imitate the demon-figure that goes across the screen and says "grrr, argh". It's actually very cute.

P.S. I'm new and this is my first post.

okay, i'm almost 19 now, and i've loved firefly since i was 17. I do think people underestimate teenagers, tho, i think i wud have loved this show even at the age of about 10. After all i can't have been much older than that when i fell in love with buffy.

I've not met anyone who is an adult who likes firefly, but my dad loved buffy as much as me, and even my mum, who is anti "american-stupid-pointless-anti-religious-scifi"
used to watch buffy

Just FYI, I believe the BDM has been officially rated PG-13.

Frankly, a slightly different cut could easily have gotten it rated R for violence.

And, theDuke..if I understand your characterization of your mom's attitude correctly, I think she misunderstands. "Firefly" may be created by an avowed atheist, but it's certainly respectful of religion, or at least religious people (though the same can't be said for Mal). If anything, "Buffy" was more into satirizing/attacking what you might call the dark side of religion with bad guys like M.O.O. and Caleb.

she isn't crazily religious, and she's never seen firefly. However, she did get Buffy, and what it was doing with metaphors etc. i think i had not explained quite how i ahd intended, that she dislikes those kinds of programs, not because neccessarily of the morals in them, but finds the content unstomacable, however, she was very much into buffy. I always got the feeling she never really understood it.

This has always led me to believe that far from charmed being a tamed down (obvious rip off) kids teeny bopper Tv program, it is actually Buffy for the adults with less concentration span for mythology and darkness.

grrr, argh! heh heh. Too funny. I once said 'argh' while at work, and a co-worker asks..." did you just say 'argh'??

and welcome to the board, btw.

Me and one of my friends are 14 and he his in band so while the band was at a competition his dadwent to see serenity (needless to say his dad isn't around any more ) well my friend has been trying to get me to watch firefly for i dont know how long but I thought that it sounded stupid he also got me to watch the trailer for serenity at the library i still wouldn't well i dicided i would watch it one time just to make him shut up well after maybe 15 seconds afer the theme song I was hooked (well after I actually started watching it instead of just staring at the screen thinking about something else.) If I had died before I watched , actually watched, Firefly I would have most likeley gone to the special hell.

I grew up with Star Wars being the big movie, the Do All, End All of sci-fi/space opera. Serenity and Firefly have so far surpassed anything that George Lucas had ever dreamed of.
I remember waiting in line as a 6 year old kid to watch Star Wars, then 3 years later doing it again for Empire, and so on and so forth. When I discovered they had cancelled Firefly, I unplugged my TV.
My kids, 7,7,9,10, all love the show and thought the movie was fantastic. Joss Whedon has created a masterpiece that transcends genres, generations, and so much more.
So, for all you TV/Movie Studio execs out there don't don't want to invest in such an amazing venture as this one...

Jayne, yer mouth is talkin'. You might want to look to that.

There is one thing that is sad though. I was at school and a kid said his favorite movie was "Serenity". Naturally I got ecited but it turns out all he payed attention to was the shooting and stuff. I was really dissapointed. (I'm a stufent at a Jr. High)
