One of my friends got me hooked on Buffy and Angel, and when I heard that Joss Whedon had a new sci-fi series coming out I was really looking forward to it (Sci-fi AND Joss whedon - sounds great!) even though I knew it had already been cancelled.
I thought I would probably enjoy it, but I was unprepared for the complete wonderfulness of Firefly! The many, but so individual characters with all their secrets, the trademark Joss snappy banter, the whole premise of the show was fantastic! I was totally hooked from the very first minutes of the pilot episode and I looked forward to every episode each week and then watched the late night repeat as well. Thank god Sci-fi UK aired the series in order. One week I forgot to watch the repeated episode (I think it was "The Message"), and I literally cried with disappointment, even though I had only watched it a few hours earlier...
When the DVD set finally came out, it was the only thing I wanted for my birthday. Thankfully I got a multi-region dvd player as well (thanks L!) just so I could watch my beloved show over and over!
I'm counting the days until Serenity opens in the UK....
all I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining

The awsome Scott Kurtz writes a webcomic and comic called PvP (Player vs Player). He did a series of comics which you can find here:

They have been posted up before in other threads here but in case anyone hasn't seen them you should!
That's where I first heard of firefly! And I've always been very appreciative of that fact. These days I check his site everyday (not just cause of that, he's a very funny guy).
He's since made other mentions of serenity and firefly:

As well as some news posts but they're too big to post here :P
As I said he is a funny guy and cool to his fans so if you haven't seen his comic definitely check it out.

Friend of mine had the DVD set and showed me the end of the Train Job. I was hooked. Went out that week and bought the box myself.
