Getting To Know Yous

[ringpops]

In my catching up on the podcasting travels, I hit Season 3 last week where Bryan said he wanted to do the Getting To Know You thing a bit more. This immediately made me think of those really annoying forwarded emails you get where you answer a whole lot of questions about yourself and email them to everyone you've ever met. While these usually irritate me, I thought it could be a fun thing for here, so I've made a short little relevant one for the forum members, seeing as we don't actually know each other, and so could actually learn something interesting

So...

When/How did you get into Buffy: Channel surfing and came across "How I Met Your Mother".  Was immediately taken by the cuteness that is Alyson Hannigan.  Did a Wikipedia search and found she was in Buffy.  I had heard talk of what a great, intelligent show Buffy was, but still thought of it as a "90210", vapid waste.  But, since Alyson Hanigan was in it, I gave it a chance.  Took me all of one show to buy the box and watched 'em all in a month or two.
