I'd give $100 to see it get started again.
The show was so much better than any movie could ever be. I would much rather have more Firefly than another movie.

One more thing. Has anyone ver brought up pestering sci-fi to know end about starting new episodes? I thikn they did that for Babylon 5 didn't they? I mean they are showing reruns and all and if they gave it a better time slot they could get better ratings. Plus there are a lot of new fans now that the movie has been made and doing so well. Apparently the movie got made because of all of the crazy obsessed fans out there. If we all got togetther and e-mailed sci-fi like once a week each they would have a lot of messages. So many that they may just decide to do it themselves. This is their type of show, they have a huge fan base drooling for it, hey can make truckloads of money off of dvd sales for the seasons seeing how much Firefly/Serenity fans like dvds. Has anyone ever actually started some regular letter writting campain involving everyone out there to them. I would suggest Fox but they, as we all know, are about as bright as the bottom side of a rock and need to be beaten like redheaded step-children from Arkansas.
I think they if they really know how many people out there are still holding onto this idea that they might be more inclined to start new episodes themselves. If they can get rating and make money themselves they may be willing to do it without our financial support.

£50 British Pounds a Season

Not in the Spirit of the Holiday

Im in for 5$/ Week. That would be $240 a year. Once I get a job I'd be down for more.

Problem is that people DO want to see returns on their investment... that means that if we want corporate support (which we need, we'll not get enough for the series on our own unless a millionaire falls in love with it) we can't go web-only. The only web thing to go well so far is Google. That doesn't bode well for us.
Straight to DVD? Could happen, but I don't see a big company like Universal and Fox (I understand there's some weird sharing issues with the rights going on) doing something like that unless they see a big return in the pipeline (anyone know what the total sale figures of the Firefly boxed set are so far?). And I'm not sure a straight-to-DVD release would secure that; ok, we have big sales now, but that's after a TV series and a film. Subsequent releases won't get as much exposure.
So far the only viable release seems to be the return of the TV series, or another film. Joss seems to be going in the direction of films at the moment (Wonderwoman etc), plus the fact that he doesn't have much time on his hands for anything at the moment. All of these point towards another film release over that of a series.
Not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but just trying to build a framework for it around what could be possible.
Possible idea: Firefly is Joss' baby, and so if we could get a proper web PR campaign involved on ebay for a fictional representation of the contract, marketed that "the funds raised here will go towards buying Joss the contract", and before the expiration date get as many people to group together for a single bid (à la Operation Browncoat for Mal's coat), hook a Fox/Universal executive at the final figure buy the rights and give them to Joss to do with as he wishes.
Sound reasonable? I'm afraid I can't contribute anything to such a bid right now, my finances aren't exactly stable, and there are better places money can go when I do have it.

No, THIS is what going mad feels like.

I would drop 500 dollars.
However, we all know that this WILL NEVER HAPPEN, so I don't see why we're playing stupid games...
Patron: This woman's a witch!
Reynolds: Yeah, but she's our witch, so cut her the hell down!

I would be willing to give $250 a season. Maybe more if needed.

I would pledge $200 a season. If this actually happened, I might even pledge a little more.
