I know some folks that finally sat down and watch it saying they "knew" they would hate it and.....guess what? They loved it! Surprise, surprise.

Every Firefly fan needs to watch all of Joss' shows.

I have a friend coming over on Thursday to watch Buffy's first episode of her first season
(I already got her started on Firefly, but she wants to meet Buffy too)...
I hope she likes it!

Yup, Chris, I'm your one who has started it and thanks for this thread.

I was exactly one of those folk who thought I would never want to watch Buffy.. I actually had the audacity to think that it'd be dumb... you know the whole vampire/little girl kicking their ass thing.

Ohhh, how I've had to eat my words. I love it.
Not necessarily for the ass kicking girl/vampire thing... but because it's Joss. ( That is said with every amount of reverence that I can drum up!)

That man is a story teller extraordinaire. It's the little things.. the single sentences and the turn of a word.. or a moment of complete tenderness in an otherwise not tender situation.
And I am only beginning.. I am very much looking forward to discovering this 'verse now. I have been fascinated by the fact that I felt like I
knew the characters immediately, just like in Firefly.

So I am off on my adventure and I'll be checking back in and talking more about it..how can I resist?!

My friend is a browncoat turned Buffy fan. I lent her the first season of BtVS and she let it sit on her shelf for near 5 months. She was reluctant to watch due to preconceived notions and not liking SMG much. I finally sat her down about 2 months ago and forced her to watch. And what do you know, she fell in love with the show. She is now on season 4 and has even started borrowing Angel to watch concurrently.

If she can make it through the first few minutes of what looks superficially like a 'teen' show, you will have her!

particularly in 'The Pack'
LOL
(I love that show, it is one of my favorite early episodes...the dodge ball scene was classic!)

I'm going to point out that the first few minutes (before the credits) are the mission statement of the show, which will insure she actually pay attention to what is happening instead of thinking 'vampires'...
because the point is, things are never what they seem, and the little blonde girl is no longer just the victim...now she can be a lot more!

Okay. So i'm a buffy fan who has never seen firefly. And believe me, i want to and will when I have the chance. I'm assuming the is what a browncoat is, a firefly fan.

Anyhoo, I too scoffed at Buffy when it came out. Swore I'd never watched. One day I turned on the TV, School Hard was one, and I was hooked. I blame it all on Spike. If, say, Some Assembly Required or I Robot had been my first episode, this post would never have been written.

I like the quiet
