Could you maybe provide a link. I'm having trouble believing this... as much as I'd like to. For a couple of reasons:

1)Buffy hasn't been picked up yet.
2)Network schedules aren't announced until Up-Fronts in August
3)Joss himself said that it hasn't yet been picked up just today.

I do hope it might be new news, though. It'd be exciting.

Not officially announced. There's always rumor, but the official announcements aren't until Up-Fronts. That's where it all gets set in stone. Before up-fronts last year, Firefly was rumored for a Sunday spot, or possibly for a mid-season replacement... so, until Up-Fronts, nothing's official and *mostly* everything's just speculation and rumor (that's not to say everything is rumor).

oops... I got the date wrong for up-fronts! I was thinking August... but I guess it's May. Sorry! Only 4 months off... heh... *Dylan, you dumbass*

Still, my arguments hold. May is a long way off to be announcing schedules...

This is similiar to that post we had a week or so ago, isn't it? I hope it's true but I think wishful thinking somewhere along the line is mistakenly being taken for fact. And like before, links would be nice.

FYI, Joss's posting today on Buffistas.org pretty much gave the impression that nothing is happening until after the holidays. After that, it's going to be one hell of a rough ride to get Firefly onto UPN or anywhere else. So as far as this bit of news about Firefly following Buffy on UPN, it's just a rumor--one I wish was true, but, unfortunately, things aren't always that simple.

We'll all just have to wait and see.

upn.com's fansite? I don't even think there is such a thing. I don't even think upn has message boards.

Keep Flying.
