Ok, did I miss something? Why didn't another network pick up Firefly?

Is it really more expensive than SG-1 and Atlantis? Those shows must cost a lot, given the ammount of ammunition, CGI and set work that they use. Pity they won't drop Andromeda, they could have replaced it with Firefly no problem.

Those shows are filmed in Vancouver. Huge difference in what everything costs up there vs. LA.

It think several members of cast crew did not want to move to Vancouver. I know Adam was very against it since he is very close to his family and young children. Joss has a new young family also...
One of the reasons Xfiles died as early as it did is DD's unhappiness with being away from his wife and the craziness that followed.
Sometimes uprooting families is not cheaper than production costs.
Just sayin.
And if you live in LA...
Really really hard to consider moving to Vancouver for 9 months out of the year.
(Recent LAista transplanted from Seattle and will never regret the move.)

That would make more sense. I guess they also didn't want to film the planets as forests either.
