Well, after running through every episode half a dozen times myself, I did what every other loyal Firefly devotee should do: Loan the entire DVD set out to a friend over the holidays!
My niece and nephew are finished with school until after New Year's day, so they've got plenty of TV-watching time ahead of them over the next week. Both of them had been meaning to watch the show while it was on FOX, but always managed to miss it — never saw a single episode.
Ten minutes into "Serenity", my nephew says, "Oh, the effects are SO COOL!". I think they're hooked...

I am a 34 year old Married man with kids soz you'd think I have a modicum of maturity.. When my DVD box set arrived in the mail I was running around the house hugging it to my chest giggling like a little school kid. My wife found it very amusing.
I am so embarrassed..

Suppose doing that at home is better than doing that in a public space, or school or something.

I couldn't bear the thought of letting my only copy out of my sight, so I bought another specifically for loaning out.
I loaned it to a coworker and he said that he would watch the show regularly if it were on - this from a man who doesn't even have cable because he can't stand commercial tv!

I myself am a convertee. I never watched Firefly while it was on-air because I just had horrible premonitions. I couldn't bear it after Andromeda, Enterprise, and all of the other sci-fi crap that was being put on the air at the time. I'm absolutely disappointed with myself for missing it. I overgeneralized...
. But now I'm doing my best to spread the good word. I can't afford to buy the box set yet (I'm 17 and have no job...sad times.). I'm getting there though. And I also think I've converted my parents and a few of my friends. It's so much easier to spread the good word when the product actually is the greatest show...ever.

Until then, my heart will be both glad as I watch the eps again and again, and it will break a little more each time…

It was surprising enough to get a DVD player for Xmas. Then my sister puts the icing on the cake by giving me the Firefly DVD set.
We watched "Serenity" and "The Train Job" and our conclusion was that it's a damned shame how a show of this quality got axed.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but as far as quality TV is concerned, Joss Whedon delivered The Complete Package to the weasles at Fox. And it was definitely akin to casting pearls before swine.

Update: My sister reports that the niece and nephew are now hooked - not to mention my sister herself! Think I'll ask them to loan the DVD set out to a few of their friends. One convert at a time, indeed...

14 episodes sure do go by quickly... ( fine, no cmomercials, but still ). I still catch little commetns and references each time I watch the episdes that I had missed before.
There's hope w/ the production of the film..and the CD hopefully making its way out....I MUST have it....I MUST !
