This might be a blessing in disguise.

Yep. Pretty much so.

How does that figure in with the broadcasts over in the UK? Is it a limitation that's only applicable State-side?

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

Overseas rights are odd, I have no idea how this affects them, but if it's anything like with books it's shouldn't at all.

"Officialy dead"? Who the hell are they trying to kid?? The weasles at FOX didn't care about Firefly from the get-go or they would have waited for a better time to premier the show other than the bloody WORLD SERIES. (I sure hope someone lost their job over that boneheaded decision.) Firefly was DOA.
I don't watch anything on FOX (not even football anymore) except "24"...and I wish it was on FX because FX seems to be what FOX was in the beginning: a renegade network that cared about doing something a little different.

I recently began watching firefly on sci-fi uk and became instantly hooked. I was dissapointed to here the show had been cancelled. Hopefully someone else will take it onboard.
I searched the internet to see if i can get a copy of the first series on dvd but had no luck.
Is it possible to get it and if so i would be greatful if somebody could point me in the right direction, (prefferably from a british based company)
thanks

Not available yet! The official DVD release in the UK is currently planned for sometime between December 2003 and March 2004. TinyElf : )

Word is that the DVD for the first season (which I think is American for first series) in being produced, several of the cast members and Joss have reported doing commentaries. Should be out around December (?)
