Sent em an email. I was actually pretty polite (through gritted teeth). I pointed out that Firefly has found an audience now and, if revived, would be sure to get good ratings. I also pointed out that if they dont want to make any more then they'll lose nothing by selling the rights to another network.

I got in to the show because of the movie. I went to go see the movie on a Sunday got the box set on the next Wednesday and was a fanatic Wednesday night. By Friday I had gotten to the end of Hart of Gold and I got a little choked up because I only had 1 episode to go; and I remember (and still do) asking myself what where the executives snorting when they decided to cancel this, and I thought this can't die; it can't. I had really kinda fell out if sci-fi with the crapiyness of enterprise and episode I II III of star wars. And when I went to go see serenity I was hoping for the best but prepared for the worst; and I was blown away. And its depressing that this one that gets canceled! Well that's Fox for ya.

Oh yeah, that's the way to convince them that Firefly fans are mature adults who know how to create a logical argument. Impecibly well reasoned and logical. Bravo.
For the record, I agree with you, at least insofar as Fox has treated Firefly in the past, but we're not going to get an expanded box set/series of TV movies/6-hour miniseries/weekly TV series revival/or anything else by insulting the people in charge at Fox today, who are not necessarily the same people who mistreated Firefly during its run 3 1/2 years ago!
Do you think the old-line Trekkies would have gotten an extra season, let alone an eventual movie revival, if their original letter writing campaign had consisted of sentiments like "NBC sucks!"? (And no, I'm not asking you to like Trek if you don't, but for cripe's sake learn from history! When you're trying to convince big money to do something, politeness counts!)
Honestly, has the instant gratification made possible by modern communications eliminated all trace of civil behavior? Reading this thread I kept hearing a soundtrack of Beavis and Butt-Head giggling in the background.
Now that sucks!
"Hehehehheh. He said "sucks", dude." -- Beavis and/or Butt-Head

I understand your concern, but I figure fans have BEEN nice and gotten nothing. "Nice guys finish last." I just want something to make them sit up and read, maybe all the boo hoo letters and emails in the past ( please bring back firefly) didnt work. Maybe giving a real opinion will work. This is how I feel and it is not wrong, they are my feelings. We have been egnored long enough.
sorry for the "haha" and "hehe" but it is my way of laughing in text.
besides beavis and butt-head would be like huhuhuh hahah hehehe and not hehe or haha
hehehe (got it) :-)

I think we should be more polite. Insulting them isn't going to do a thing except make us come off as immature children who aren't getting what they want.
Maybe we should write to SciFi instead, and ask them to pick it up? Can they do that? Or a spin-off or something.. I'm sure they could do something if the money was right.

don't be surprised if they don't answer you.
they've moved on.
"Firefly" is now a DVD set that they are making some coin from to pay for the $12 million pilot that they chose to air LAST.
"misbehave" all you want.
posting to the fox bulletin boards will get ya nowhere. well, it'll get you a rep as being a jerk. but that's about it. ]
THANKS, DEBBIE DOWNER!!
Awww....what did I, like, burst your bubble or something?
Poor thing. I ache for you.
Oh, and, you're welcome.

Okay...just posted this on the official message board for every show that has one except 4:
Hey all,
Awhile back FOX gave one of the best shows ever made NO LEGS to stand on and then cancelled it after 4 episodes. The show is called Firefly and Universal just did a film based on it called Serenity. From what I understand, the network will not release the rights to the show (Joss Whedon was able to escape with the film rights) so that Sci Fi or another network could keep the show alive for die hard fans like myself.
Imagine if you only had one season of (name o show) to watch! Well that's what Fox has done to us.
If you're a sci-fi fan at all I recommend the show and the film. Even if you're not a sci-fi fan this show has a way of capturing folks. Once suitably hooked, visit www.fireflyfans.net to hang out with fellow flans (not a spelling error :))
Thanks for listening...and don't forget to ask Fox...WHERE'S MY FIREFLY?
The Sentinel"
House site was messed up...American Idol requires an hour wait before posting, and Malcolm in the Middle/Simpsons both have a 24 hour wait before you can post...SO TOMORROW!
Anyone who want's to join in the fun go to:

Spaming Fox is not going to help or case to get Firefly back on the air its only going to decrease our credibility. Now I hate Fox as much as anyone and I write one hell of a good nasty letter (and writing one to Fox would feel SOOO good) but lets try taking the high ground here before taking the low and getting to Scotland before someone.
At the very least PLEASE try to be polite.
Who do you suppose is in there?
