Just wondering which of Joss' projects you think is his best to date?
(I'm guessing as we're here on the Firefly forum it'll most likely be Firefly, but all the same I'd like to read what most people think.)
:D
For me it's Buffy The Vampire Slayer (TV). It was just so refreshing to have a young female heroine, lead a TV show.
and you....?

I far more identify w/ Firefly than say Buffy , Angel or Dr Horrible.
After Firefly, I'd have to go w/ The Avengers... no doubt.

For me its Firefly hard core. I haven't really been impressed with his other work. I did like having my friends tell me about Dollhouse, because in their blank state the charactors were touched, but I couldn't handle watching it myself because of the disgusting ethical fopas going on, I couldn't watch them make someone touched and sweet, then turn them into a prostitute, and then make them touched again. I watched it a couple of times and couldn't handle the emotional rollercoaster, because it hurt me that people would repeatedly do that to people and I had to watch it happen every time. So I couldn't watch it.
I think Buffy and Angel sound dull/uninteresting to me, Avengers was okay. I hated Dr. Horrible. Just my opinions. Everyone likes different things in TV.

Firefly of course.
Everything else is tied for a close second place, though.
eta: Oh, wait. I forgot about Dollhouse. I just really couldn't get into to it. So I guess that gets third place.

I was like that too, for the longest time. I figured it was more of a 'chick' show, as it revolved around a pretty cheerleader, in HS, and her Romeo / Juliet , forbidden love w/ Angel. Snore ! But then, I started watching the spin off Angel some, as it was still on after Firefly was cancelled, and I was like " Wow ! This has some kick ass stuff in it ! " , and that inevitably led me to going back and watching Buffy all over, from start to finish.
YOU may still find it boring, but for me, it was a nice change of pace from what else was on. And compared to the tripe of Edward and Bella ... Buffy and Angel are laughably so much more entertaining!

Serenity is six on my list because it gives me cold chills. Not during the movie, but afterward as a puzzle: How to keep the Firefly story going without ignoring the Serenity story. I'm fairly sure it is an unsolved puzzle for Joss, too, which is why he has written no story set after Serenity. Not even a comic. Well, Zack Whedon wrote one for Free Comic Book Day 2012, but it amounted to nothin'.

Like you said, naturally my first pick is Firefly. But a close second would be Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Very few things can get me to cry but by the ending I could feel the tears behind my eyes. It managed to be funny and sad at the same time and the result was delightful. The casting was fantastic (though I didn't particularly care for having to hate a character of Nathan's) and the songs were equally wonderful. Definitely a 'Bravo, Joss' moment.
Hey Big 'D'
I've noticed I have started suggesting Dr Horrible if I'm advising people on which Joss project to jump in with first. It feels that much more accessible whilst still allowing Joss' brilliance to shine.
It's a real gem. No doubt.

I was a little disappointed with Cabin in the Woods. It had some great touches, but I was left feeling a little short changed...
