Anyway, if you remember, at the time, I was still working nights at the Gap and not home on Tuesday nights. I did see a few episodes here and there, but I didn't watch with any regularity.
Oh yeah. Back when you were working at the Gap. Like I said, it sounded unpossible to me, but when I thought about it, I only remembered us guys watching it.
Also, that is pretty funny about Joe saying we got him into it. I'm guessing Ted and Tom got him into it. I'd say Ted & Tom snagged us both at the same time, but of course he was roommates with them for a while before I was even in the state, so I'm pretty sure *I* had nothing to do with getting him watching.
Aaahhh...the days of working 4 jobs so that I could pursue my acting career.
This is why I eventually switched to pursuing a career in crew (actually, I never really came out here to be an actor, I always wanted to direct). Tech people have a somewhat, ever so slightly easier time getting work than actors do. Every waiter in town isn't trying to become a key grip.
My desire to mock got me to turn it on. Buffy, Angel and Faith got me to keep it on.
Happy birthday, Buffy! Thanks for everything.
I was hooked by Cordelia's "I see you've seen the softer side of Sears," so I've been with you for 10 years.
For me it was Willow's
"I need to sit down."
Buffy: You are sitting down.
Willow: Oh. Go me!
I don't know why, but the construction just grabbed me and never let go.
I can't pin it down to one certain thing. I half-watched for a long time and then after a few eps, I was stuck. And I wasn't working at the Gap anymore, so I was home on Tuesday nights.
What really cemented it was "The Prom".
I never saw most of season 1, 2 or 3 until we got the DVD's.
Happy Birthday Buffy. And really, my Buffy love is all Megan's fault.
Buffy vs. Dracula was the first episode I watched all the way through, because I was sick with mono, depressed over a girl, and wanted to watch something. Buffy Season 5 was on our campus network, so I started there.
I don't know what single thing hooked me, but that episode is filled with pretty humorous bits, which probably had a lot to do with it. And I'm a big fan of clever camp, which the episode has in spades. By the time Dawn appeared (which was more confusing than shocking, considering my Buffy virginity) there was no way I was going to stop watching. And by the end of that weekend (I watched all of Season 5 that weekend) it was my favorite show ever.
I happened to be home with the flu the night of the series premiere, and while I hadn't been wowed by the movie I thought it would make for an enjoyable night's brainless cheese watching.
Then the nervous born victim schoolgirl turned around in vamp face and Joss had me for life.
The opening to WttH, still awesome.
