oh, no reason to let a little ol' thang called Physics get in the way of a good story.

Don't get discouraged, TheReaver...not everyone has as good taste as you do! 
Keep at it!

I still have a perfect record...i have gotten 4 people to watch and all of then have gone out and gotten the DVD 
Of those four two have gotten others for a total of 6 converts. I cant help but wonder what the ratings would have been if fox would have kept the show around.

The WEATHER Channel? Hahahahaa. Sorry. I don't mean to laugh at your dad. But I just have this image of a guy with a big bowl of popcorn, hunkered down in front of the Weather Channel. Hahaha. And yet...some people watch reality t.v. Go figure.

when i was home for the winter holidays, my brother got the DVDs and instantly converted my whole family. that over-confidant bastard even got the DVDs for me (although a little late for the season) before i'd even seen one episode, knowing how much i'd love it.
since getting the DVDs in the mail, i've only had time to try one covnert, but she's hooked, and so is her room mate, and her boyfriend. so 3 for the price of one.
once i get the discs back (they wouldn't let me go if i didn't leave them there all week!) i've got 3 more people i know will love it, although one's too pig-headed to ever admit to liking anything.

I've gotten at least four converts and maybe six. Two now own the DVDs, two are interested in watching the rest and may buy the DVD and the other two were somewhat ambigious after watching Serenity, but I'm fairly certain they liked it. The only complaint from the last two was that Inara's sponging scene and River's reveal were gratuitous.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Were the two viewers elderly women? Who the heck considers River's box scene 'gratuitous'?

Well - most folks I've shown it to have gotten completely hooked. The main exception being a neighbour, who liked it to start with, but then 'got bored' - but he also got bored with everything else on TV, and stopped going to the cinema at the same time, so I can't help feeling that it was no real reflection on Firefly.
My biggest triumph was getting my gf to like it.
She doesn't like scifi or fantasy at all. She find Starwars/Trek/virtually anything with spaceships to be dull as ditchwater. Oh - and anything with a hint of horror in it is right out.
But she got completely and utterly hooked on Firefly, purefly because of the characters, story and humour (she says it's worth sticking with the "unrealistic boring parts" like the Reaver chase in Serenity - her opinion, not mine) because the rest is so good...
