This is just a guess, but it is possible Firefly not showing on Scifi for a while might have something to do with airing the eps on Pay Per View soon. It's rarely a good idea to compete with yourself, and PPV is a way to collect hard figures on how many people are watching (and paying to watch).

I watched the whole marathon as a goodbye. I have to say though, SciFi airing the reruns has been a huge help in my opinion. I've met a lot of people who got into Firefly because of it( a lot of SG1 fans too).
Sad to see it go(again), but not to sad. Its done us browncoats a lot of good in my thoughts and I don't suppose this will be the last we see of our beloved show if the past is any evidence.

Just as a suggestion, you all might try emailing the Sci-Fi channel and requesting more of it. The email address was in a thread a couple of weeks ago, but I cannot find it. So I went to the Sci-Fi website and found their feedback line:

SCI FI CHANNEL: If you have suggestions or comments for our Programming Department about the SCI FI Channel or any of its shows, please contact: feedback@scifi.com

Couldn't hurt........

Great Idea! Done.
Let 'em know that I appreciate them airing my all-time-favorite show and that whenever they choose to air it in the future that we fans will be sure to tune in. Dropped a little hint at maybe continuing the show to...couldn't hurt you know.

Might hurt in my case. I sent some rather... impassioned emails to SciFi when they cancelled Farscape. I wouldn't be surprised if their system has me red-flagged.

My thoughts exactly, Brownocoat1! I'm thinkin' that if they take it out of rotation and there is a clamor for it.... that'll make 'em think.

Then it'll be back, and I still think they may consider bringing the series back.

My kids in California, who are huge SciFi Friday fans, think that SciFi Channel is floating this so many times, and watching to see what kind of ratings and response it gets, then they will consider picking the series up. No inside info to base this on, just years of watching SciFi and guessing what they are considering.

I do so hope this is so... I want more of the 'verse!!

Wow, just how passionate were those emails? Use some Farscapian profanity talking to those frilling bastards? Now that would have been Hi-larious.

It'll be interesting to see how John Doe's ratings compare to Firefly's. And does anyone else find it amusing that John Doe and Firefly started on FOX's friday nights together? I've even seen it asserted that FOX wanted a one hour pilot for Firefly so that they could show John Doe's pilot the same night.
