I’ve gathered 3 new converts here at the office in the past 4 weeks. I’m having great success by loaning out just the 1st disc instead of the entire box set. I just hand it to them and say “Watch this show when you get a chance.”
The most recent recruit reluctantly returned disc 1 this morning with the words “Thanks a lot buddy, I’m hooked on this show. I’ve already watched the whole thing 3 times.” He watched all of Disc 1 three times in 2 days. HA ha ha. I could only console him the statement that it happens to a lot of people as I handed him disc 2.
This program sells itself. If you can get someone to sit down and watch the first 15 minutes they’re as good as trying on a new browncoat.

Keep Flyin’ everyone!!

great going Arclight.

I love hearing stories like this. Keep up the good work. I agree with you. The product does sell itself.

I was like that! I watched the first disc which I rented from Hollywood Video two weeks ago and watched all four episodes in about 4 hours. I went out the next day and bought the whole set, that's how quickly I got hooked. My husband had been bugging me for months to watch the show, ever since Serenity came out and I said I liked the movie. He was one of the original Browncoats, he watched Firefly when it was on Fox and I remember he was crushed when they cancelled it. Now I can see why!

I agree..I don't know anyone that has seen the BDS and didn't like it.... I'm amazed that it only rates a 9.4 at Imbd...what more could you want in a series...What do you need a Starbuck?, a Spock?, Raymond's parents?, cartoon characters?, A purple singing dinosaur?, or Donald Trump? .....What the Frak ...Greatest show ever.

Actually, I would have loved to have seen some sort of purple singing dino on Firefly. I would imagine Wash would have to get pretty drunk for his dinos to start singing to him, and that woulda been hi-larious.

I've been working on my sister and parents. We don't live in the same town. So when we all got together a few weeks ago I forced them all to sit and watch a few episodes. The next night they begged for more.
My mom just called tonight and said they watched Serenity on cable last night. Then tonight my dad watched it AGAIN. My dad never watches a movie more than once.
And my sister called to find out if she can got with us to Booster Bash next year.
Hooray!! At least now my family will understand me better. More converts!!

Well, I'm glad yours is working! The one person I tried to convert began stareing at the the (time coding?) on my VCR after eleven minutes, when they watched "Serenity" the pilot ep. I guess maybe I'll try again one day just not with them!

KANEMAN, my girlfriend doesn't seem to like Firefly, so there's at least one person who has seen it and didn't like it.

My best friend zoned out at our first attempt so we switched it off and watched something else - but after she went home I watched the first 3 (4 if the pilot counts as 2) episodes and told her she had to see it all... the next week I loaned it to her - whole series - and then I had to barter with her to get it back! We're both soundly hooked and bought ourselves the series for our birthdays (which aren't till next month but there was no way we were waiting til then!!!)
