When they were NOT airing reruns of SG1, SGA and BSG Firefly was generally the 4th highest rated show on Sci-Fi, often beating their movies of the week (you know the crap they play on Saturday night with killer walking fish or some shit). I can say from what I recall this is higher than what the ratings for say, Andromeda were (even though that was usually technically new episodes).

Previous to them going into reruns I remember seeing Firefly carry numbers ranging from 1.1 to 1.8 million viewers. I think Sci-Fi did a damn fine job of advertising the show and it paid off for them.

I am sure new Sci-Fi funded Firefly episodes would shoot up in the ratings, possibly even beating Stargate Atlantis, which is usualy #3.

I'm still crossing my fingers for Sci-Fi to pick up the series or some made for TV movies from the Firefly 'verse. I think that they are our best hope.

Also remember the Sci-Fi channel is one of cables #1 channels, so when we see numbers like 3.5 million viewers that is actually really impressive on cable, on network TV that is considered failure and a flop.

I own the DVDs but I have been watching them on Sci-Fi, my only complaint? The film quality they are airing is shit.
