OK! I loved Serenity. I thought it was good enough to order the Firefly box set. Joss's creations have always been guilty pleasures of mine and firefly will be no different. Fact of the matter is people, I want a reason to actually WANT to watch TV again. It seems any series that actually makes waves, takes initiative, or moves in a new direction gets shitcaned pretty quick. Firefly had marvelous potential, but never really got to spread its wings. Serenity only proves that if given the chance the possibilities for the series were nearly endless.

My question, ney, my challenge is this. What can we the fans due to force a network, any network, into generating so much buzz that Joss will have no choice but to rekindle the flame under firefly?

The problem isn't Joss not wanting to rekindle the flame it is the Goram Networks not wanting to spend the money neccasary to make the show. And as for wich Network I say that we need to start Dogging SciFi to make a new series. SciFi is the closest thing to a Fan oriented network to ever exist and they have some form of the rights since they air the first series. So if you really want to get the networks attention then we need to do some of our famous Browncoat Organization and start getting on SciFi's case. E-Mail Campaigns, Snail Mail campaigns, guerilla marketing, actually buying the stuff the advertise during the show....

I absolutely despise, despise the Fox network. I flat out refuse to watch any new shows that they air because they are far too cancel-happy. Gotta make room for more of their reality crap that they stole from other networks, after all.

I don't blame other networks for being reluctant to give Firefly a chance (although I really do think Sci Fi should, and I'm not entirely clear as to why they don't appear all that interested). Sci Fi's a hard sell as it is, and most people don't know about the extenuating circumstances of Fox doing ther very best to destroy the show...they only know it's a failed show. Unfortunate? Absolutely. But I just cant blame them for being reluctant. Fox, however, I can and do blame. They chose to refuse to air the Pilot, they chose to shove the show onto their "we want to cancel this show" night and time, they chose to cancel the show almost immediately despite critical acclaim, without even giving it a chance to get an audience.

I just wish there was some way to hold Fox accountable for this. Firefly isn't even the first good show they've done this too...it just happens to be my favorite.

Good thing for fans of the shows that Seinfeld and Friends weren't on Fox. They probably would have been cancelled immediately. I still have no clue how Arrested Development lasted as long as it did.

Agreed. And it pretty much has to be the Sci Fi network. I just don't see any of the other networks actually giving it a shot under present circumstances.

i second that notion..im just mad that the "present circumstances" arent good enough for these people at networks.. Serenity and Firefly are 4 and 5 on amazon.com's top sellers list and have been for days, if not weeks and were higher up.

I would have to agree. SciFi channel seems like the most likely candidate. So now what?

Let's get some addresses and e-mail addresses and start sending all kinds of mail their way. If needs to be non-stop, relentless and passionate. I'm at work right now, but when I get home, I'll try to come up with a form letter, and post it here to be copied. Although I do feel that individual plees for the show would be more dramatic than just a ffrom letter being sent over and over again.
They will suffer us - what say you!

What about HBO??? Sopranos are coming to an end, they like edgy stuff with lowish ratings????

I'd think they'd like a show like Firefly????

That's the spirit! If we can get things organized I'm gonna post this on the main forum. Keep me posted.
