I'm going to dig up my old VCR and watch the VHS tapes I made from the original broadcast, commercials and all.
Won't do the true "FOX Experience" and watch baseball or random movies in between episodes, but it will be in broadcast order with the 3 unaireds last.
Let us know if you notice anything of interest.

One thing I do miss is the graphic of Serenity that appeared just before the end credits.

It was at the very end of the episode, right before the last set of commercials.
Quick and dirty vid cap. (Yes, I used my phone to record my tv screen)

Think I'll stick with OMR next week. Getting a fresh perspective of what it must have been like back then.
Can always watch in correct sequence, and binge them together, another time.

Another thing you may have missed is the "fade to suede", a Joss enforced pause before a commercial break.
Supposedly, if a screen goes to total black the network immediately goes into a commercial, thus disrupting the flow of the story action. Joss came up with this to give the audience a chance to break before getting assaulted with an ad.

Yes, I still love Firefly. Just finished my 15th Anniversary marathon, and I'll watch Serenity tomorrow on its 12th Anniversary.
I only made two changes to the viewing order this time. For the last four episodes I went with Trash, Heart of Gold, Objects in Space, The Message. I think the ending of the latter is just as good as with OiS.

I saw some baseball on TV tonight, around 7 CT. Not sure if it was Fox.

After a week of baseball, who is ready for another episode on October 18th? Something called Jaynestown.
Did the original airings have trailers, promos from the next week's episode?
