Okay, so I am obsessed with Buffy and Angel. And I enjoy shows like Charmed, Moonlight, and Reaper. That all have to do with supernatural stuff, and witchcraft, actiony humor.. I plan on watching Dollhouse too.. This is basically the only genre of television I watch.. Would I be interested in Firefly?

If you like Joss Whedon then YES you will like Firefly. Go watch it. Right now.

Yes! Even if you're not into the sci-fi/western stuff, the characters, like on Buffy and Angel, are what keep the show going.

Based on the whole world and style, yes, it is very different then Buffy and Angel, but it has the same amount of comedy, drama and action as Buffy and Angel. I also think it's impossible to hate any of the characters in Firefly.

I think it is impossible to hate Firefly in general. I don't think I have ever heard anyone say they didn't like the show. Heck even my brother loved it and I can never get him to watch Buffy or Angel. It is sort of similar to Fray in that way: it's so good everyone can enjoy it.

Well you've already got several glowing recommendations to get it, just thought I'd add my voice to the crowd and say it's a definitely a worth while purchase.
I'll admit that I was very hesitant to see it and actually refused to watch it when my boyfriend brought it over. Boy, am I glad he insisted. The characters are endearing, the stories well plotted out, & the dialogue is pure Joss Whedon in being both funny and poignant. Firefly is a great addition to any DVD collection.

Yay! A new Firefly watcher! It wasn't that long ago that I watched it for the first time myself. And I've only ever heard one person say they didn't like it.

I tried watching it, but I can't get into it. The pilot episode is a little on the slow side. Whenever I force it on people, I always insist that they just bear through it, and promise they'll enjoy the rest of the series. If you haven't already, give it another shot.

YES!!
That said, I will explain my enthusiasm: I started as a primarily Buffy fan, not really liking Angel or even having interest in Firefly. Then I finally succumbed to Angel. And it was good. Then I decided to just buy Firefly cuz heck, it's only one season right? And by far, Firefly has the best characters and most interesting speech of all the Joss shows. It might be because I'm new to the 'Verse, but I really enjoyed Firefly and connected with the characters in one short season, whereas with BtVS and AtS it took a while for the development to happen. So yes, please watch Firefly, you'll LOVE IT.
