To interest them in the show on a purely shallow level, I might point at my icon. ;)
Seriously, though - the 2003 miniseries, all of season 1 and the first half of season 2 are out on DVD and available on Netflix; season 2 just finished airing a couple of weeks ago, so it isn't out on DVD yet, and we won't be seeing season 3 until October, so there's plenty of time to catch up. I'd advise starting with the miniseries to test the waters. I'd say anyone who likes complexity on the subjects of war, religion, politics, etc would enjoy it. It tackles some tough issues, it's good science fiction, and the character dynamics are intriguing, plus Captain Apollo is hot and buff and frequently bares his gorgeous arms, which is a Good Thing. It's not an easy show to watch; it's very suspenseful and angsty, and it really doesn't pull any punches, but it's good.
