This was a "Stop Already" topic but I actually like the theme song from Firefly. I can't speak to the rest of Whedons musical catalog.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.

Buffy had a lot of great music.

Yeah, I get the resistance to Joss Whedon as a personality, but I really liked Dr. Horrible. Maybe just cause I'm really into musicals, but I was really entertained. The plot wasn't anything special, but the numbers were a lot of fun. As for Firefly's theme, its not THAT bad, but once again, I get the annoyance it creates.
-
I think like a lot of things, people don't really hate Whedon so much as the fans that deify him.

Agreed, I really liked Firefly, and was into Buffy in highschool, but I don't go crazy for something just because it's got Whedon's name on it. I'm more likely to give it a fair shot, but I won't just start singing its praises based on name alone.
I think I only do that with Tom, Appatow, and The UCB.

The Firefly theme song is corny, but it's a TV THEME SONG. Also, it fit's the show's "western/rebel" theme.
I never saw the musical Buffy episode.
Dr. Horrible was great, especially the first song.

The musical Buffy epidose ("Once More, With Feeling" should be in season 7 if you plan to Netflix it) was actually pretty fun, right up until the last number. Total misfire. Just cranks all the energy down to zero.

Season 6, actually.
-
I don't deify Whedon, but I do like that he writes very good roles for women.
He wrote for Roseanne, which is probably my favorite show ever. No joke.
-
Season 6, actually.
Thanks, Sarah. So, you own the DVDs? I could bring popcorn.
-
I do, Steve. And I own very few DVDs, so this is a testament to my great fondness for Buffy.
-
I do.
AH HA!!! You said it! Legally binding! Finally, my year of trickery pays off, and Sarah agrees to marry me!!!
-
I'm a fan of Firefly but the theme and cursing in Chinese have always irritated me.
-
I do.

You're a little creepy, Steve. But you know that.
-
That Firefly song is seriously terrible. It was maybe 15 seconds, and I'd still skip it every time.
-
I tried to get my band to cover it. They didn't really decline but they didn't eagerly sign up for it, either.
-
I do.

I'm just messin' around. I appreciate that you've kept your sense of humor about my nonsense.

Tut tut, Steve. No need for gratitude.
