Succatash,
I know this is off-topic, but I *love* your sig. It's *hilarious*. Where did you get it?

Scraily enough, it was the commercials for Firefly that made me want to watch. Had I known Joss Whedon had been the creative force behind the show, I most likely would NOT have watched ;) Not a big Buffy fan ;) Of course, any new Sci-Fi series I'd most likely give a chance, but there was something different and compelling about those commercials. And it was Fox, who gave us The Simpsons and X Files...oh how I wish Fox was still in their early days...

I found Firefly through a relatively bizarre bit of serendipity. I hadn't had a TV for years, but my ex-wife bought a new TV and gave us her old one. My sons had just figured out that with our cable internet, we also got cable TV. That night, on Slashdot.org, I saw something about a new sci-fi show called "Firefly". I checked and it was coming on in twenty minutes, so I watched. You know the rest.
I feel rather fortunate that I didn't see any of the ads, cause I probably would have avoided it based on the ones fox did.(downloaded from fan sites).

Putting it into German was the genius stroke. For some reason, it makes it twice as funny.

Is there a translation, for those of us who remember very little of the very little German we took?

Is there somewhere online we can see these pesky trailers? I feel like a laugh.

It says "The only difference between me and an idiot is my golden lunchbox and a magic ring, which I took from the Devil."
Correct me if I'm wrong, Succatash - maybe I'm laughing at it because I misunderstand!

at first i was totally turned off by the whole space hooker thing... then my mom saw the preview and was like "that actually looks interesting" so we sat, we watched, we loved, we cried (well not really) and the rest as they say is history!
