I did, and I have to say although Fox screwed up and cancelled the show, they gave me the best 10 weeks of TV viewing I have ever had. At the time I was working 3rd shift in retail, along with my best friend. I taped the episode Ariel, and brought it into work that very night. My friend(also big into Firefly) and I watched it on our lunch hour at 3 in the morning. When it was finished, there was a short silence, I asked him if he had seen anything better, movies or otherwise throughout the entire year. He said nothing came close to the entertainment of this show. Share your fondest memory of watching Firefly. Good times.

I saw the ads and knew I would like the show. But I went head over heels in love with the show and Cpt. Reynolds when he kicked Crow into the engine. Hubby and I just about fell out of our chairs laughing.
Ahhhh...memories :D

I was in boot camp at the time /sigh. Although, after watching the complete series on DVD, I am kinda glad I didn't get to watch it on tv. It seems like the commercial breaks where at very suspensful times, and I would have wound up throwing a shoe through the TV.

Watched it from the first episode, both my father and I. Seeing the series on DVD nearly made my heart stop.

Been watching it since it was first shown, following a Giants-Cardinals playoff game back in 2002.

I watched it when it originally aired. And I didn't get to watch all of them, but the two that left a mark on me were Shindig and Ariel. I know I watched most of the ones that aired, but I vividly remember watching Shindig and Ariel. I had become totally obsessed with the River-Alliance subplot and I spent all my time thinking about where it was heading. God I was so excited back then to find out what would happen to River and Simon!!!!!! Oh man I was truly heartbroken when they cancelled it.
I WANT TO BELIEVE

Funny you should say that. I watched every episode of Firefly as they aired on Fox, but there was one episode that I missed a bit of because of technical difficulties. It was Shindig. Mal got into that swordfight and was put to the ground with a sword waving in front of him. Then a commerical break for added suspense. Then the screen goes black. I'm sitting there, waiting for it to come back. When it finally does come back, Mal is standing as the victor with the other guy on the ground. Doh! I had completely missed how that fight turned around and ended. I was just like, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" But there was one thing I told myself to make me feel better: "I'll just catch it in a repeat." Soon I would learn that I wouldn't catch it in a repeat....or any new episode at all.
Thank God for the DVD set. I finally got to see what happened.
