I would be a #1 - saw and taped every episode on Fox in 2002, except for Ariel - VCR malfunction, and I was out with my son that night. Got home, discovered the show didn't tape, and had my first ever panic attack: the room got dark and started spinning, I couldn't breathe... I hadn't known till just then how much I loved the show. I was convinced I would never see the episode, because only successful shows got re-runs or (like X-Files) released on tape (2002 was still very early in the DVD era!)

Watched and taped all the rest, and tried to download Ariel using P2P, but there were damn few people with copies, and I was stuck with dial-up at the time. (Didn't know about the "hello cowgirl" site)

I bought the DVDs the day after Christmas 2003, did a little dance at my desk when the BDM was announced, and went to the second round of pre-screenings in Chicago, getting to meet Summer and get her autograph.

I still have my original Fox tapes too!

Nice to read all the stories.
I had figured the shift from all number 1's here would shift more to folks who had seen them in order, and not seen the broadcasts, but didn't know how much. This helps understand the different perspectives derived from different sequences of discovery.

Thanks for the input, keep 'em coming.

a coworker nagged me about the film for months up to its release. i avoided both the film and show thinking it was just another star trek thing until i saw summer glau in terminator: scc. having heard she was in firefly/serenity, i decided to give the show a chance and bought the movie on the ill-fated hd dvd format. i absolutely fell in love with the film identifying with the character of mal. later i went out and bought the firefly box set, various merchandise on amazon, both firefly and serenity on blu-ray, the done the impossible dvd... yeah i'm hooked and slightly need help now !

I'm a #1. Channel surfing on a friday night caught Mal at the bar in The train Job. Stopped me in my tracks. When Serenity rose up behind Mal, Zoe and Jayne I was hooked. Called my friends and family and begged them to watch the show, just had a feeling the show would get buried because of the friday night time slot. Watched every episode that I could. Strongest memory was "Out of Gas".
Cut to 2005. I'm in Barnes and Noble and I see the Firefly DVD set. I was in shock at first, then I started just stopping strangers around me to explain to them that this was the best TV show ever!!
Purchased the series, went home and watched the lot. When I heard there was going to be a movie, I was thrilled. Saw the movie three times in the theater, dissappointed at the turnout{not much publicity in my opinion}. That's my story.
