I saw watched "Buffy" from the beginning. I remembered SMG from "All My Children" and thought I'd give the show a try.
I remember thinking, "That's Kendall from AMC. She looks awful as a blonde. I might watch that show. Isn't it based on that movie that Luke Perry was in? I can't stand Luke Perry." So, I never watched it. When it ended up on FX, I watched some of season 3. As soon as I her, "she makes Godot seem prompt", I was completely hooked. I started watching it morning and night. Found out I was working with a bunch of people (including Victor) that could fill me in on everything I needed to know. Then Victor suggested I check out this website.

That was part of the draw for me, too. She was excellently bitchy as mini-Erika Kane.
I know I didn't watch until sometime in S3. Possibly late S2. God, that's sad -- since then I've watched every episode so often, I don't remember what my very first ever episode was.
I knew things about the show from friends, and cultural osmosis, too, like the stuff about Buffy having to "kill" Angel (so I guess it was S3). I was hooked from the first episode I watched all the way through -- I was amazed at the writing. It was so smart and sly compared to everything else on TV, and I fell in love with SMG as Buffy, and ASH as Giles.
Is it "The Witch" tonight?
Must queue up the dvd.
It is. I just got mine out, as a matter of fact.

She really was. They re-ran one of those eps a year or so ago. SMG could really pour it on. She benefits from good writing. I wish she'd get some good material. I'd like to see her in something good.

Is anyone planning to W&P?
I've got my lonely little DVD all set up.
Hey, Eureka is still on!
I'll be there afterwards.
