My very first episode was Puppet Show, which I initially watched because I loved the movie, and after 15 minutes I hated the entire series and wouldn't return until my second very first episode, which was the live airing of Becoming, Part 2. Goofy Angel exit aside (I mean really he looks comical standing there hunched over and reaching out) I was obsessed. I watched every rerun of season 2 over the summer, back when they ran reruns during the summer, and then caught up reading about season one online until those episodes finally became available to watch on tape.
I was very disappointed when Spike didn't show up much in season 3 but very happy when Angel left for his own show making room for my favorite vamp to come back.
Honestly, the episode that got my husband hooked was The Zeppo. Before he saw that one he watched with me to humor me, that one made him a fan. I think that's a great entry point for guys because they can easily identify with Xander's alienation. For women, well let me restate for *romantic* women, I'd absolutely have to go with Something Blue.
