You are MISSING just about ALL the points I made in my scenario in your comprehension.

1. I mentioned lower costs by shooting HD a season for the price of one modest movie (less than the price of SERENITY)
2. If for DVD first the producers keep the revenue and not a network.
3. It is already a known property
4. My proposal designed the disc for global sale.
5. Think world don't think provincial!!

Do you mean regular "Cable TV" channels or specifically "the HBO" channel? b/c everything
else that you've listed are either on regular "cable TV" channels (I mean non-premium and not-HBO channels), or they were originally on HBO, but now the older shows (i.e. already out on DVD or soon to be) are on syndication and available on other channels...

In other words, I can see those shows that you listed on non-HBO channels, so I am thinking that doesn't make them to be HBO shows... but then you might have meant "cable TV"...

That's why I am wondering about that, I've seen that various History Channel, HBO specials that are done in collaboration with BBC - and they would definitely more likely make them available on BBC as well...

They had ANGEL for a short time then CHANNEL 5 got it.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

It is a mixture of stuff from different sources SOPRANOS AND SIX FEET UNDER are certainly HBO sourced.
Yes BBC co-prods are on BBC but that is now more the past. It is more common ten years ago. Now its more likely natural history with Discovery.

I am new to Firefly and new to this forum. Like the rest of you I would lOVE to see a continuation of the series. Stright to DVD may be a good solution.

Another solution could be online distribution. I know that shorter films (ie BMW films)have been produced for the internet, why not 1 hour episodes. With the growing availability of high speed internet this is the direction that media is heading anyway. Why shouldn't our BIG DAMN SERIES pave the way.

It seems reasonable to me that a corporate sponsor could make the episodes available through their website. This could be a Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Sony, or any other company with a large worldwide advertising budget. Rather than commercial free like dvd, they can insert their own ads. After an initial first run via the net, the familiar DVD box set could then be distributed.

Can't stop the signal!!!

ROTFLOL, instead of BlueSun mercs, we'll see M$, CaCaCola, Zony, and McD's stuff in the show... Why not, I guess, VW was the featured advertiser at the Worldwide Premiere...

Wow Howard...briefly scanned those sites and I'll look into 'em more later, believe me! Talk about some blind partisan/uninformed/intellectually dishonest/inanae drivel! Might want to take this kind of crap over to the Real World area. Just a recommendation to keep from highjacking the thread and maintaining commity among the posters here.
