$200 a season. Gimme my Firefly!
I've been wondering if Fox would sell the rights to make new TV shows to a consortium of fans. My understanding from reading websites is that they retain these rights for another several years. Money talks. If we bought the rights and could get the original Firefly team together, and then found someone to broadcast it (even if it were sold, say, online by the download)...
I dunno, it's interesting, for sure. But if throwing money at the problem is all I need to do, I'm down with it!

I don't have much, but I can do $50-100 a season.

Understood, but there are plenty of organizations setup to help the poor, and people recovering from disasters, but I have yet to see an organization set up to bring back my Firefly program!
I consider the cancellation of Firefly, the lack of written novels, and 3 years later only one movie has been made as a bonifide disaster. There needs to be a Firefly disaster program to insure that this sort of thing never happens again.
Oh, by the way. People who usually point out the needs of poor people when other folks want a particular thing, are the very same people who would "suggest" that you give all the collected money to their church, so that the church could distribute the funds to the poor, which almost always never happens. The "church" ends up using the money for its on ends.

Sorry to be pessimistic but this aint happening and besides I'd feal kind of guilty if we paid for a full season of a TV show when that money could be used to actually help people (IIRC it cost around $2 million per episode of Firefly).
Now I give to charity and all, but I would consider this to be a hobby of mine and a fine one at that. I have money to give and money to have fun with, and this would be the money that I play with. At least that's how I feel about it.

Oh, count me in for $50. Or $100 if need be. I don't think an online accounting is going to get the ball rolling, but I guess it couldn't hurt to let them know we're out here and willing. What we need is someone in a position of authority with some vision who will step up to the plate and find a way to make this work.
Of course Joss has vision. *g*

I'm poorer than the Mudders, but I'll donate $100 per season.

Who's this 'WE' ya got tapeworms or somethin'?
I don't remember asking you to feel guilty about where I put my money after I divi it up between tuition, rent, food, my chosen charities, and myself.
This thread is for getting a rough but realistic estimate about our weight financially as a collective fan base, especially as applied to throwing it at the networks and giving it to the creators to get our ship in the air.
I don't give a gorram flying fuck about the enterprise. 'twas a nice show, but that's not what I am here for.
We are seeing what we can do here and now, and If you don't want to be a part of it I have no ill will to you, but I would be much obliged if you posted on another thread.
Lets keep the naysaying to a minimum & somewhere else, and focus on what can and should be done.
