I'm posting this in Episodes because of how respondants would view the episodes based on their answers.
What sequence did you discover the verse?
1. Saw every aired Ep or most, or taped them and viewed when you got home, then saw Serenity in cinema?
2. Saw Serenity in Cinema, then discovered there was a TV show similar, watched the DVDs (or cable broadcasts).
3. Other (please specify).
4. Saw a few Episodes of originally aired Firefly, later saw all, then Serenity.
5. Saw some Episodes, then Serenity, then Caught all the Episodes.
6. (allowed with another choice). Got the FF DVDs before Serenity Came out.
7. Discovered the Verse after Serenity left the theaters.
"originally aired" means during Sep-Dec 2002.
I know this has been mentioned before, but I'm wondering about the current percentages among those visiting this board. I know it is an unscientific sampling.
I am sorry for not completing this post the first day - got interrupted by work. Added 4 & 5 now, will try to remember the other options I forgot.

I saw Serenity in cinema, then saw refeerence to Jewel being in a TV show with the same role name, saw it in a cable guide and watched part of the end of Ariel, watched all the remaining aired shows (mini-marathon). Then bought FF DVDs, then Serenity DVD.

Just before the movie came out, they showed Firefly on Foxtel (in Aus). I had seen previews of Serenity and thought it looked good, realised FF was before it and decided to watch.
Best decision I ever made.
I think that goes under 1, but I hadn't seen all the episodes when I saw the movie.

After the BDM had come & gone from theaters I was channel surfing & caught "Shindig" as the random rich guy got stopped by the door scanner.
Went & rented the entire series & BDM after that & watched them in order.
Then it was on to Buffy & finally Angel.

b) Saw the article about the BDM in Starlog Magazine, was intrigued with Summer Glau
c) Further urging by co-worker led to looking up reviews on Amazon
d) Based on amazing reviews I bought the movie
e) A week later I bought the TV series

I watched from the beginning on FOX, with the exception that I missed "Bushwhacked" due to a vcr screw-up. Since they never repeated the show at all I didn't get to see that ep until the dvds were released, which I purchased immediately and watched at least four times completely in the course of a couple of months. I suppose I've seen the whole series more than twenty times so far, with about a dozen viewings of the BDM, including twice in pre-release screenings.

other.
My daughter brought the DVDs home about a year before the BDM.

I knew it was Joss so there was no way I was missing even a single episode! I stayed up late to watch it after the game was over (because it was preempted a LOT).
I taped every aired episode and loaned the tape to my friends...
the tape broke down around the same time the DVDs were released so I bought multiple sets of the Firefly DVDs for friends & family.
Then I went to two of the pre-screenings for Serenity!
So Serenity 6 times in the theater...
and many more times since it's DVD came out.
Someone walked off with my old Serenity DVD but since the new edition was coming out anyway I just bought that instead of trying to track down the old one.
Because this show is awesome!
Oh and I have all the comics, and the companion books as well.

I had completely given up on TV with my work schedule and the lack of anything worth watching. I had caught the first season of Buffy and was less than impressed (which sucks for me because it got much MUCH better). Since I didn't have a reliable signal I watched a crapload of movies on DVD. One night I was having a few drinks and my sister said "I saw this in the theater, you gotta watch it." After watching Serenity I was quite impressed. I watched the extras and remembered hearing advertisements for the show in passin. I worked Friday nights so I completely missed it. Blockbuster had the series and I rented the first disc. I went back that evening and rented the rest of them. By the next afternoon I had watched the series and the BDM all over again. That October I began lurking about the 'net and finally joined up here a few months later.

About a year after the series was cancelled, I heard about this "rad show" and rented the first CD from Netflix. Soon got the box set, then saw the movie as soon as it came out, and so on. Oops, there is no so on yet...
