I've seen all of Firefly and I love it. I even have the comics! It's just awesome and a crying shame it got cancelled.
For the others, well, I adored the first season of Angel and large parts of the second. It was just gorgeous. I loved the darker tone and it's one of the few shows I think worked best with a lot of standalone episodes and an arc in the background. I have to be honest, I didn't like the third season, and stopped watching halfway through it. I heard stuff got back on track during the final season but I never watched it.
Essentially I feel like Buffy got darker as it went along, while Angel started off incredibly dark but slowly turned into Buffy with the epic storylines and stuff. I always... I'll always remember and mourn the quiet, serious, graphic-novel first season about Angel's personal quest to fulfill his personal destiny and help lost souls. I think it lost something fundamental to its awesome when it started going in the Buffy direction.
As to Buffy, I've seen...probably about a third of it including most of the major arc episodes? I do like it and I can see why people are crazy devoted to it, but I never connected with it the way a lot of people did. I couldn't really say why. I think perhaps it was that no single character ever made me fall in love with them until Anya and by then, I was watching other things?
