Not sure if it's all true since just a few days ago Joss said on Sci-Fi no to TV and yes only to movies, but who knows!!

Some people also said that you can't call an action movie 'Serenity' but I think that's still okay. What was I going to call it? 'Big Smash Bang With Boobies'? Which was, of course my second choice."

Yes! This would have drawn thousands more in!

From the empire forum -

It's a question of time for me, once he's done with Wonder Woman and Goners it will be 2008 at the least, and then there are only two years before the rights come free for the series.

Four years until the rights come free and Joss could make another tv show unhindered by fox if he wished, hmmm, is Firefly worth waitin' that long for?

You'd better bloody believe it

Some one on that forum put in that "By 2010 I doubt the franchise will have the (already limited) commerciability it has now."

I have one word, no, two, three, to say to that.

Startrek, hmm, Battlestar Galactica, Every remake ever made.

k, seven then.

Lets face it, no-one who already loves a show will ever stop loving it (with out some form of trauma anyhoo)and how many newbies whave we had this week alone?

So if anything 'commerciability' is gonna grow.

Now we need to get some browncoats working for Neilson so that we can all get that box and make Firefly: Redux the most popular show if and when it returns.

Damn you people with your names that include colons. If it is called anything other than "Firefly" it should be, "Firefly Season Two," followed closely by Season Three, then Four, and so on.

Wow, so the 10 year thing has been shot down all over tha place as something Nathan made up as a joke, yet people are still quoting it.

And I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, as I'm hoping for more adventures with the BDH as much as anyone, but some people are talking like this (probably fictional) 10 years is the only thing holding up the series returning. It's not like there're other networks banging on the door to make new Firefly eps. If someone wanted to air the show, they don't need to wait 10 years. They don't need to buy the rights from FOX either, as so many keep saying. Firefly was cancelled by FOX Network, not FOX productions. Same corporate umbrella, to be sure, but not the same entity.

Remember: Joss has had 3 series produced by FOX, but Firefly was the only one to actually air on the Network.

If a network wanted to bring Firefly back - which means paying the production costs for a new run of episodes, all they would have to do is work out a production deal with FOX. FOX wouldn't have to pay to produce the episodes (they would probably cover some costs, but not the lion's share), and would still make plenty of money off subsequent DVD sales. It'd be win-win for FOX.

But that's not happening. The numbers just aren't there. As big as the Browncoats have grown, and will continue to grow, there simply is not enough demand to justify anyone's investing in a new series, especially after the not-stellar returns on the movie.

I'm going to keep hoping, keep converting, and most importantly, keep flying in hopes of a return to the 'verse. But it's going to be a while, and if we do get more, I personally expect we'll see another movie or two long before we see another series.
