I sat glued in front of Sci Fi channel all night Friday. I was there in front of the tv w/ the whole family & a big ol' pizza, chips, drinks, etc from the opening & refused to move while "Serenity" part one played.
Loved seeing Firefly on the small screen, though the full screen version took some getting used to.
Can't wait until this Friday.

I missed it too! Just sat there and watched "Attack of the Show" as per usual, then zoned on the first 14 minutes of whatever comes next ("X-Play"?), before the lightning bolt hit me and I jumped up frantically grabbing the remote, as though that would help me regain the lost 1 hour +.
Also forgot to DVR it (although I could've sworn I had); but, I figured, 'Oh, well. It's SciFi; they'll reshow it after the second showing of BSG, at midnight CDT'. Nope. It's still "Andromeda", which I thought SciFi had discontinued. So, totally screwed.
But, I'm catching it this week if I have to tie barbed wire around an appendage as a reminder...
Remorsefully,
zoid

Better than that, even. They showed commercials for the movie's trailer. "Next week is the broadcast premiere of the Serenity trailer!"
Never seen a commercial for a commercial before.

they screwed it up though and gave it an even worse time slot than the first time. 6pm CST? thats insane... people are in traffic or going out... a show as phenominal as this needs to be on tuesday nights at 8pm prime time

I think the reason it was put on Sci Fi Fridays is because it is a logical fit for Firefly to be grouped into their big Friday night line up. The best bet for roping in new fans is on the night the SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and BSG fans are watching. They have the same target demographics.

Cool, thanks Greek
I have it on TIVO along with BSG and seeing how I leant both of my DVDs out, now I can get my fix

Saw it and had other people watching too :-). Also thats the first time I'd ever seen that odd thing at the end with like an outline of Serenity where the usual "Joss Whedon" would be at the end. Too bad about the full screen but I'm not complaining that much.
