1. God, that's a great show.
I miss the crap out of Buffy AND Angel.

2. Got the Chosen Collection for Solstice.
I'd been watching on FX, (okay, Tivoing and watching while exercising) and I'm really glad it exists.

I'm starting Angel on Monday - that's when it starts over on TV. I never got to see it when it was on because I had a class the first season, and was lost when I tried to watch it when I had a different schedule....

I feel cheated that I missed it, but happy that DVDs exist!!

3. Best. Show. EVAR.
My wife and I loved that show. Shame that FOX is producing the DVDs, but I'm slowly finding them used.

4. One of my favorite shows ever.
I thought the last seasons fell off a bit, but the first five were
really great TV.

I liked the first couple of seasons of Angel, but I thought it also
fell off a bit at the end.

5. I like the last two seasons....
I know it makes me something of a freak out there, but the last two seasons had a depth that the first few didn't. And I don't mind darkness...

I'm just getting started on Angel... I didn't like him as well (I've had it up to HERE with moody and whiny and obsessed...) and I really hated Cordelia, so Angel is not as interesting for me, I guess. But it's not bad.

6. I'm a recent convert.
I heard good buzz on the show from the beginning, but various things prevented scheduled TV watching during that time. Later, I caught a show occasionally--because of re-runs, often out of order. I could appreciate the humor, but was confused about the characters. Wait--is that Buffy's boyfriend or a bloodsucking fiend? Isn't Buffy an only child? Etc.

During some time off this summer, I caught up to 4 consecutive shows per day on TV & it started to make sense. I Netflixed my way through all of them & bought the Chosen collection.

I'm Netflixing my way through Angel right now. Pretty good, although not quite Buffy level.

I also missed Firefly--as many did. But I ordered the series sight-unseen & was not disappointed. Except for wishing there were more to it--long-term character development (or the "soap opera" effect) being one of Whedon's gifts. The movie was not enough!

7. Agreed!
I can echo pretty much everything you said - I watched the occasional episode over the years, but not being a big TV fan to begin with, I didn't get it.

Firefly is what brought me to the Whedon-verse, and that only because I caught the first half of the unaired pilot on SciFi and Netflixed the rest.

I miss firefly a lot....
