I have to say, Buffy is one of my all time favorite shows, and you should definitely watch it, but Firefly wins by a mile (or maybe ten).

Order of Whedon Awesomeness:
Firefly
Buffy
Dr. Horrible
Dollhouse
Angel

All of them are infinitely watchable, but there is just something about Firefly that grabs me every time! Best show ever made, if you ask me, which you kind of did…

Thank-you.

For me Firefly = love. And Best TV show ever.

What can I say that no one else has really said? Not too much. So, in the interest of piling on, let me do just that and pile on. Dave, I agree with what a couple of others said, in that you cannot make that absolute decision without having watched Buffy. That is the show that began my cinematic love affair with Joss Whedon’s work. Without that, I would never have discovered Firefly, so I must stand and salute that show. I did watch Angel, but was infinitely disappointed in that show’s production…just my opinion. Please don’t kill me Angel-files! Dollhouse never really grabbed my attention, as I likened it to an old show I used to watch religiously called, La Femme Nikita. I know they are not exactly the same, but that’s what happened in my mind. That all being said, Firefly is leagues above any of the other work that Joss has put out. I own the DVD’s and the Serenity movie. I will get them on BR as well. I am one of those people who refuses to believe that some network out there does not exist that will not pick up this show…sometime. It’s just that good. And just like Rehabber, I just finished the marathon they were showing on Science Channel. It was epic, again. I think I’m going to send a reminder to Joss about just how many of his fans out here want that show back! So, in case I wasn’t clear: Firefly, by a country mile!

A Whedon fan who hasn’t seen Buffy is like a Nabokov fan who hasn’t read Lolita. Firefly, Dollhouse and Dr. Horrible are all good, but none of them are in Buffy’s class.

Netflix has the entire series on streaming video.

Sorry, but you’re not a Joss fan if you haven’t watched Buffy (AKA the best show of all time). It’s by far the most re-watchable and enjoyable for me. It’s FLAWLESS.

Sorry, but you’re not a Joss fan if you haven’t watched Buffy– the best show of all time. It’s FLAWLESS through all 7 years and, while his oldest work, it is by far the most re-watchable for me.

Currently, my eternal TV would be Buffy as it lasted 7 seasons and is very re-watchable. When my partner and I moved in to our house we watched the Buffy box set straight through while we tried to get the TV connected. If Dexter eventually reaches 100 episodes then nothing will touch it in my lifetime as the boxset to take into a post apocalyptic no TV horror type thingy.

okay lets get to business love to the point of pennys death the dr. however thats 40 min and not the same kinds of work as the others second do i get to include the firefly movie serenity? besides buffy dollhouse is the only of his shows to have a true ending so Dollhouse wins. finally i’m sure one of the reasons u havent done the buffy angel experience is bc people are like “you HAVE to watch! but just to let u know you can see alot of the firefly cast in buffy season 7 and angel season 4 and 5. if you ever get around to it this article will change as the emotions felt in epitaphs part 2 and [SPOILARZ!] are reached almost every sode.

I’m with Dave. I’ve watched the first three seasons of Buffy and the first season of Angel, Dollhouse, Dr Horrible, and Firefly. Firefly is the only one I own. I agree that there are no weak episodes. And the chemistry among this ensemble is truly without par. All those actors are stellar in this show. Eminently re-watchable for me. I love the adult complexity you get with this show that you don’t get from Buffy. I think Whedon really shines in Firefly.
