Quote:Yes, I think all these possibilities can bring the Firefly verse back to TV at some point. When I say that I understand Firefly won't come back to TV, I mean Firefly is not going to come back AS IT WAS, with the same cast and the same story line. I believe, and hope, that it is very possible there can be a spin-off with some of the characters or a Next Generation kind of deal with an entirely new cast. I happen to think Joss' storytelling strength is in TV, and I'd like to see him come back and give us more space opera.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
While I do hope that you're all wrong and we will see more Firefly episodes - I'm begining to see why this might be more like a pipe dream :(
I just rather have multiple seasons of character development and story arcs rather than a few 2 hour movies - but at this point and time I guess I'm lucky that we're getting a movie (and a kick @ss one at that )
Still keeping my fingers crossed :P

Every time this subject has come up before, the same mistake keeps being made. Everyone seems to think that the FOX televison network is the company that holds the tv rights to Firefly. They are not. It is 20th Century Fox Film Studios, the studio that produced it, as well as producing Buffy and Angel (which aired on networks other than FOX). Yes, they are owned by the same corporation, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, but they are separate business entities.
20th is the company that licensed the film rights to Universal, and they are the ones who licensed the repeat rights to NBC/Universal's Sci-Fi Channel. They are the ones who will decide the fate of Firefly/Serenity on the small screen, and even if they can convince Joss to come back to tv, you can be gorram sure it will not be to the FOX network.
thanks for clearing that up! either way though, we can all agree that FOX is a peice of gossa!!!

You know your right BMAURO. When family guy first came out it didn't do so hot. I mean it didn't have a strong beginning but for those of us who do watch some Fox shows look where the show is now.Its on the Sunday line up. Family guy which I do watch is funny and I am glad to see it back. I don't know why then they wouldn't consider bringing back Firefly so that I can watch my boys and love every minute of it.
I am going to try my best to get as many people out there on Sept 30th to watch this movie. I mean look at the movies that Hollywood has given us so far besides Wedding Crashers all the others weren't worth looking at. I am sure with lots of promoting and advertising they can definitely get a glimpse of what many of you have been saying for many years now.
Again I don't understand why Joss Whedon couldn't sell it over to some other network. I mean its his vision its his story its his right.

Newbie to Firefly and love it

all-in-all, FOX was stupid, they made horible choices, and the show (and cast) suffered. Due to the lack of advertising, not many people (including myself) even knew "Firefly" existed until about a week or two ago (When we say the 1'st ad for it).
Personally, I think the Scifi channel should pick the show back up... they would be perfect for it (especially since "Battlestar Galactica" did so well) - they advertise frequently, often, and with ample amounts of time before the shows air, they don't mess around with the orders of shows (unless it ends up making more sense for the audience), and they are really supportive of their shows (not to mention the whole they are scifi part).
From what I've read in magazines & articles, noone (except FOX) wanted the show cancelled, and the entire cast enjoys the fans' support, so I say if we really want the show back, or at least a sequil to the movie we "just see the movie ten times. If you realy, realy want... another one, just see it over and over again" (Jewl Staite, "Kaylee" - interview with "the Official Movie Souvenir Magazine 2005", Titan Magazines) and trust me, I will be seeing this movie more than once and probably buying the entire set of shows soon. If the movie hits the #1 spot 2,3, 5 weeks in a row, and then continues the $ income with DVD & VHS sales, the production companies will look at that. Universal noticed the greatness of this series, as did we all, and I honestly think that if anyone can bring this show back, it's a combination of the cast (who already made several comments on wantin to), Joss Whedon (Who claimed "...'It's not over!' He said he'd produce Firefly etchings if that was all he could produce" [Alan Tudyk "Wash" - interview with "the Official Movie Souvenir Magazine 2005", Titan Magazines])... and us, the fans (well, look at how many posts there are in the past week, now let's turn that into cash for the cast, producers, and Mr. Whedon so that maby another network will decide to go with them, and stay with them)
