I didn't get to see Firefly much when it was airing, so I bought the DVD collection. A little surprising to me was that my 13 yr. old son likes it as much as I do.
He let me know that he is a little upset that there were so few made. He wants more! Who doesn't?
After TV is over their self love affair with "reality shows" (How can you call it "REALITY" when there are cameras present at all times?)then we can get back to some STORY TELLING.......
Remember that? Twilight Zone. Star Trek. Even Mama's Family for cryin' out loud had stories!
Firefly was too good for TV. Big Screen, here we come!And we're bringing our kids!!!

I'm gonna be bringing my parents. ^_^ I'm a 12-year-old who can't get enough of good shows like Firefly and Buffy and MST3k (It looks a bit out of place, though). I'm gonna be first in line for that Friday night showing of 'Serenity', even though I know people might be a bit freaked out when I start dancing around, singing the theme song...

Let's hope the reality TV era finds it's end in the near future. Aside from a select few shows, I find it pointless and stupid. Bring me some good Joss Whedon projects any time.

It amazes me that Firefly can be so appealing to me and yet still be nearly completely kid-safe.
The only things I fast forward when the kids are watchin is when Inara is sexing(I just find it difficult and possibly inappropriate explaining sex to a 3 and 5 year old) and the torture scene from "war stories".

Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt change a thing with Firefly, I am obliged to responsibly filter what my kids watch is all.

I'm 16 and I loved the show from day 1.
My sister (7) watched all the shows with me when they first aired and literally jumped up and down when the DVD sets came (my mom was a bit ticked over her seeing a certain scene in Heart of Gold though) and she can rattle off at least 10 Firefly quotes. All in all my sister rules

My kids and I, AND my husband, all really enjoyed the show. The hubby could live without it, but my 12yo son and 14yo daughter are eagerly awaiting the movie with me. She swears she's going to drag all of her friends to the movie with her. That's my girl! My son's been telling all of his friends about it. We can't wait!

Yeah, I know several teenagers who love it-more so than adults generally! I think it's great that so many people of different ages and cultures love the show (although my Grandma wasn't too keen).

...and we will call it...this land...

ok, my son is just 4 years old, but he recognizes SERENITY, when he sees her... ;)

... her also knows all enterprises and their captains

Does anyone know what the BDM is goign ot be rated? On the website it says, "This film is not yet rated".
If it really stays along the lins of the show, I'd say somewhere between PG and PG13.

I'm 15 going on 16 (may 20 yeah!!!!) and my friends just dont understand the show. Some of them think its stupid others just ignor it I think its because they like reality shows and thinks its not real enough.
I have been trying to get them from crappy tv but I'm startin to think that all hope is lost to me I think they'er brain washed from all those sitcoms (goram fox
