Starts Friday July 22.

And yes, I'm talking repeats, before anybody gets too excited 
- expect lots more browncoats, though.

OMG!!!!!
Seriously?
The Sci-fi channel is going to rerun the BDS
(Big Damn Series)
but...it is so few episodes...
oh it doesn't matter, getting it back on the air is MAJOR
and in time for the comic books!
this will really help lay the ground work for more fans to be ready when 'Serenity' is released!
OMG I am so happy!
(you had better not be wrong about this!)

We all know the biggest way to promote Firefly is to just have people watch it... the more we can do of this the better it is. And think of all the ads running promoting the movie... this is gonna be grand. I'll be tuning in for sure.
EDIT: Are they starting with "Serenity"? Because this could be disasterous if that isn't the case. Anybody have any info on that? Do we need to start writing letters?
EDIT 2: Searched "Firefly" on scifi.com's schedule. It comes up with July 22 at 7, July 29 at 6 and 7. I take this to mean "Serenity Part 1" on the 22nd, then again on the 29th at 6, and part two following. But purely speculation on my part.

This rocks!!! Everybody print out flyers advertising this and distribute them to the folks in line for Star Wars! It will be so much easier to get them to tune into SciFi Channel than to get them to buy DVDs sight-unseen!
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Oh, WOW is this the shiniest of news!
Making the BDS the lead-in for Sci-Fi's most popular shows will be a great way to bring new legions into the fold.
And as a little side snicker - doesn't this mean Mal Reynolds will be replacing Dylan Hunt in the Friday Night Lineup?
LOVE the irony of it all.........
MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

This is great news. Almost want to get Sci-Fi channel now. The size of the fandom is about to blow up big time. This will give a big boost to the BDM. Big thanks to any and all who had a hand in making this happen.

About damn time sci-fi decided to make a move. Hell, with the movie and if ratings kick ass, they MIGHT decide to pick it up. But with the cost of each episode I do not know, but I'm glad to see it on my fav. channel....
