What was it that attracted to you to Roswell in the first place? Did you see adverts, a friend told you about it, found it on the internet? how did the addiction start ! ?

whisperpoe · 17th November 2000, 07:06 PM

I was addicted from the first time i saw the advertisements for it. I stood transfixed in front of the tv saying wow. So probably two months before i ever saw it, i was addicted to it

Well umm...

I think the same as Poe actually! hehe, I watched the first episode and thought "cooool" (After seeing the promos for about a month) then I was hooked, although I missed two episodes but I saw them shortly after (had them tapped) so I have seen all the episodes numerous times too LOL

I'm the same as above I saw the previews and thought the show looked interesting. Although I really didn't get hooked until about the 3rd or 4th episode because Ally Mcbeal was on at the same time and I kinda was into that to. Although after the fourth episode of roswell it was Ally that got the pushover.

I got hooked the same way as all above. I'm glad my wife and I both love the show or else ....ahem... LOL...Gotta have Roswell!!

No one else in my family watches... okay well I make my brother watch my tapes of it lol, he likes it now, kind of! bahahahaha

But I just thought I'd say that my family thought I was crazy from day one... why?

I caught the white room and have been hooked ever since. I wish I had caught the first season and I'm waiting on the Space station to replay it. Hopefully they'll put it on soon.

Glad to see some new faces

I thought it looked interesting from the previews, but I didn't actually watch an episode until White Room (boy, was that confusing!) Deah had kept telling me I had to watch it, because I would like it..and she was right!

whisperpoe · 21st November 2000, 03:44 PM

Woohoo!

This is embarrassing. I thought the show looked like a yawn from previews. My sister & brother watched the Pilot and I read a book. After it was over I mimicked Max & Liz the entire next day. My sister pleaded for me to give it a chance & so I tuned into Morning After and was hooked. I owe it all to my sister

I started in the strangest way. We play pictionary- kinda at school sometimes and someone drew it. It was only on Sky and I didn't have it then, but as soon as I could- I watched!

Well i was at the time currently living in NY and my hubby had to go away to school for 3 months, so i decided while he was gone to fly back home to visit with family well while i was there i got bored and tuned into the 1st episode and thought it totally sucked (thought the acting at first was horrible) but i was bored and just tuned in every week finally by the time i had to fly back home i was addicted i just had to see the first episode of Max's and Liz's first kiss. I told hubby about the show and he thought it sounded dumb but now he loves it and watches it whenever he can.

Also wanted to mention that the cast had came to my local mall to promote the show i thought the show was so horrible i didnt even care if i met them....and i am soooo regretting it now

I remember seeing the promos and was pretty intrigued, but the night of the season premiere, I was really busy. I got to see about 4 minutes or so in the middle but of course I didn't understand what had happened so I was bored, plus back then I never ever stayed up past 9:30, so the show was a little late for me--can you tell I'm young and green?

. But 285 South aired the night before Thanksgiving when I had no school so I stayed up to watch it. Of course that just happened to be one of the most riveting and excellent Roswell ep ever, luckily for me, because after that I was OBSSESSED-- still am!

by the way, I'm new here, so hi y'all!
