I heard that 2 eps will be aired: one, the first Friday in Jan (tomorrow) and the second, the following Friday.
Getting my VCR prepped and lighting a candle for UPN picking up the show and at least giving it a complete season.

I was hoping you were right, but alas...

Fox has "The Nutty Professor" scheduled for Friday 1/3/03.

"Fastlane" moves into the Friday at 8PM timeslot starting on 1/10/03.

The Nutty Professor? Fastlane?
Eeewwwwww....

Fox Programming: Let's see. We can air 2 eps that we've alreaday paid for of an intriguing, intelligent show, or we can air 2 pieces of "go se".

I think they probably WILL air on Fox. Remember the Lone Gunmen? The show ended with episode 12. The network announced this as the series finale, yet weeks later, a previously unaired episode (Cap'n Toby) aired with no promotion whatsoever. As a result, I, like many others, missed it and it was never aired again. Thankfully I did eventually track it down.

I SO Hope these eps air. I was really looking forward to Heart of Gold...

According to this article on AICN (which contains spoilers for Serenity), Fox is planning to air the three remaining episodes sometime in 2003 but no dates have been announced.

And, yes, Fox HAS officially cancelled Firefly. It has been announced by Joss to the cast and crew and they've packed up the set.

Our only hope now is if UPN picks them up. If you haven't visited the Firefly Immediate Assistance website ( http://www.fireflysupport.com/), please do so to find out what you can do. They have addresses where you can send letters and postcards to UPN to request that they pick it up. They also have addresses for sponsors to send letters or postcards to encourage their continued support on a new network.

I have a question about that... They have both CBS and UPN addresses listed on fireflysupport.com. My question is, are they hoping to get CBS to pick up the show, or is UPN a subsidiary of CBS? Does anybody know?

Also, that site is still suggesting writing to the affiliates. Did we decide this was not a good idea?

Officially, yes. Publicly, they're still hiding behind the cover story of "hiatus".

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

We gotta lobby FOX. The 'fly is pretty much dead, which is so sad, I like this show soooo much, all we can hope for are those three eps to be aired, and the DVD. UPN won't pick it up unless they start airing programming on Sundays. UPN is looking to find it's own programming and to leave the poaching days behind. It won't air during black comedy monday, not after buffy where other shows have attempted launches by UPN, not on Star Trek wednesdays. Not even UPN is stupid enough to put two spaceship shows together. However, ABC would...

Let's try ABC!!!! ABC execs originally tried to steal Buffy from The WB, and are looking for a big sci fi show. Lets go alphabet!

I'm serious here.

If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

From what I understand, UPN is a subsidiary of CBS. Whatever Dawn at UPN decides to do needs to be cleared by Les at CBS. Also, writing to the affiliates is a good idea. If enough affiliates say to the head cheese, "Hey, what's with this show Firefly?" it may tip the scales in our favor. Sending anything other than postcards or letters is a BAD idea--ie NO blue gloves, apples, or flowers! It could start a scare that would cause damaging negative publicity and a subsequent witch hunt. This IS America after all.

I'm brand new here (just heard about FF being canceled), so please forgive me if this question's been asked.

Has anyone approached the Sci-Fi channel about picking it up? I know everyone's been pushing for UPN (and that would be great), but Sci-Fi's been doing some good things lately, too, with SG-1 and the Taken mini-series.

Thanks in advance,

Debra
