Well, sort of a reversal, here. I WOULD have been hooked if I'd known about the series, but since I grabbed the movie on a whim at the video store, I guess you could say I was hooked before I even saw the series. If I'd known there was a SERIES connected to the movie, I'd have found it somehow. I didn't. Thought it was just one more really great movie I found by accident, standing alone.
When I found out about the series and rented IT, I fell in love but was thinking by the second episode "gee, there's something vaguely familiar about this"...when I got through the series and discovered the BDM was the movie I'd fallen in love with a year earlier, it could only be called "a love affair I'd started a year earlier with the movie".
I guess the way I KNOW I was in love as much as I was could be determined by the fact that I sought out a website for other "lovers"...given I've never done that before in my life.

So true! I've never joined or thought of joining any other fan sites!

15 minutes into the first episode I watched I realized that I was fully engaged with these characters. No other TV show before or since has done that.

What tipped me off was the silence in space in the first episode (Train Job). It was, "uh-oh, I'm doomed to watch this show now." 
Then when Mal killed Crow, I knew I had to get everyone I knew to watch the series.

When I pulled the set off the shelf and saw Ron Glass was in it. I have been a Ron Glass fan for years. I wiil never forget him dress in drag, for a stake out, on the Barney Miller series.

I watched the show from the beginning on FOX, with the exception that either I or my vcr screwed up the second week and I missed "Bushwhacked." Didn't get to see that one until the dvds came out since none were ever repeated. I did like it from the start, but I was hooked with the third episode aired, "Our Mrs. Reynolds."
Many fans from the beginning point to Mal kicking Crow into the engine as the defining moment, but I was just as psyched over a character moment in the scene just prior to that, when Mal returned the medicine to the town that needed it more than he needed Niska's money. That was a character I wanted to see more of.

I felt the same way. I realized that at that time, after a year or so of "Enterprise" I still didn't know all its characters names, and didn't really care about them. From the first I knew and cared about all of the crew aboard Serenity.

For me it was the movie. I was hooked right from the beginning. After I saw the movie and did research. I got even more excited. I was a huge Buffy fan and it hit me that Firefly was the show I wanted to see, but couldn't. I was a senior in college so I didn't have too much for TV.

After hearing "What month is it?" and seeing Serenity flying over the train, I suspected.
After Jayne saw shiny angels, and "Best thing for everyone. I'm right there with you.", I knew.
The rest of the show confirmed it.
