What episodes of BSG should I watch to get started?

Anthony has an unusual question for us. But considering the subject matter we approve! He writes "My friends are killing me! I have never watched a single episode of the new Battlestar Galatica and my friends keep razzing me about it. So, I have decided to start watching it. Here's my problem though - After research on the web, there are the seasons, webisodes, movies, miniseries, something called "the Plan" and a "Razor" and a Caprica. WHERE DO I START!" Thanks to THUNDERPEEL2001's most excellent Battlestar Galactica Viewing Order, we've got an answer!
