#6) I heard of the show in the summer of 2002 and waited excitedly for the premier of the new sci-fi show. It didn't come, nor the next week or the next as it was pre-empted for baseball for two weeks or a truly awful movie the third week. So I gave up and thought it was a big mistake. Saw 5 minutes of the ending of "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when it aired on SciFi in 2005 before the movie and was instantly and totally hooked. Watched all the rest, bought the CD's, waited for the movie in 2006 and wondered why the rest of the world was oblivious to the quality and spirit that was put into this production. Still wondering on that last, since nothing I have seen to date matches the potential storytelling of the 'verse.

I am a 2.
Although for me I saw the trailer in theater in the UK about a year before the movie came out. Then I forgot about it. I was talking to a co-worker about it and could not remember the name. Luckily for me when I searched the coming soons on a movie website it caught my eye and was premiering the next week. I got home from the BDM and searched it on the net and found out that (a) it was a Joss thing and (b) it had been a show - went right out and bought the boxed set and the kids and I watched it straight through!

I'm an original Browncoat so it's:
1. Saw every aired Ep or most, or taped them and viewed when you got home, then saw Serenity in cinema?
What got me hooked was the original TV spots that showed Serenity flying over the horses; the mixing of 2 of my fav genres was too much for me to ignore, plus Joss' name and prior success with Buffy.
Was royally pissed when it was cancelled, but felt, as I did with My So-Called Life when it was canned, that I could not do anything to bring it back. It was not until 2005 that I discovered, quite by accident, that there was a DVD series. And then found this site in 2006.
I'm still amazed that no one has picked up this show and ran with it. The fanbase continues to grow and there is no quit in the Browncoat dictionary.

I guess from the choices given I'd have to pick #4 & #6.
I watched a couple of episodes during the original run. I remember "The Train Job" being one of them. At the time, I didn't really get it.
Later when the dvd set came out, I was working on a sci-fi film idea with friends in L.A. and they mentioned another project they had worked on years ago, and sets they had built that were still standing ten years later in a warehouse in north Hollywood. I wanted to check them out, and someone mentioned that this show "Firefly" had used those same sets in one of the episodes (Bushwhacked), so I went out an bought the DVD set at Best Buy.
I got the DVD set just to check out these sets for possible use in our project, but ended up watching all of them. When you watch them in order (hello FOX....Duh) the characters grow on you, and the stories are so well written that you get hooked and can't stop watching until you've seen them all. I later hooked several of my friends on the show, by loaning that set out.
Later, when Serenity came out, 8 of us were at the first screening opening day!
I've since turned at least a dozen other friends into Browncoats! I know this, because the year the movie came out on DVD, I bought and gave out 20 copies to friends for christmas, and almost everyone ended up buying the series set too.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

I'm a number 3.
I was walking through Best Buys looking for something to watch and noticed the box set. When I saw Ron Glass was in it I knew it had to be good. I was wrong. It turned out to be great.

For me it's definately a #7. I don't watch much TV and what I do watch is educational rather than entertaining--History Channel, Descovery Channel, Animal Planet etc. (I guess I'm a snob but so much on TV is just so stupid that I gave it up)--So I missed Firefly. I remember seeing an acin the newspaper for BDM but I don't go to many movies either unless I know what to expect. Then one day, when I was in the Home Electronics Dept.,my 13 year old son showed me a copy of the BDM on DVD saying that it was a good movie. Well I consider myself to be a good modern dad who listens to his kids so I bought it and was immediately hooked. I ran out and bought the series DVD set before the week was out. Now when his mother tells me I'm obsessed, I blame him. (No, she hasn't seen it yet--pity).

#7 for me. Last Christmas I was visiting my daughter and she had to leave me alone for the afternoon. She rummaged through her roommate's DVDs and pulled out Serenity for me to watch. I watched it three times before I left. The first time, the second with the commentary and the third to catch things I had missed the first time. After I came home I went straight to EBay and bought the Firefly box set.
I now have my good set and a loaner set. I even bought a set and donated it too my local library.
Oh yeah, I also have several copies of Serenity and am thinking of buying the BluRay version even though I do not have a BR player yet.

#7. i discovered the "verse" after serenity left the theatres... i was lucky enough to rent it on dvd and was hooked... even downloaded a bootleg copy off the web (mpeg1) quality,but i watched it over and over till serenity came out in stores... had no idea there was a series called firefly prior to the BDM...so i bought that after i purchased serenity...
Mal: Jayne?
Jayne: Yeah?
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something?
Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.
Mal: No, seriously, Jayne, you want to tell me?
Jayne: Look, Mal, I got no ruttin' idea. I was here a few years back, like I said. Pulled a second-story, stole a lot of scratch from the magistrate up on the hill. But things went way South. I had to hightail it. They don't...put you on a pedestal in town square for that.
Mal: Yeah, except I'm looking at some fair compelling evidence says they do.
Simon: This must be what going mad feels like.
Wash: I think they captured him, though - you know... captured his essence.
Kaylee: Looks sort of angry, don't he?
Wash: That's kinda what I meant.
