The only problem with that is the exposure will be limited to HBO subscribers only. We need a network which has to compete directly with other prime time networks.

You have a point, but I think it would be best to keep all of our options open. If we're going to flood one network with letters, why not flood two... why not flood 'em all?

(I'm about to do something very silly and disagree with myself)

On the other hand, it's probably best for us to keep focused. If we don't have one main goal, such as "get SciFi to pick up Firefly," our actions, no matter how many, will be scattered and random. There are a lot of us, and the most effective way will be to make sure that we're all working together, and not going off on totally random tangents.

So.... while, yes, I think it would be good to consider HBO as a possibility, we probably should focus on one network, at least for the time being, and that network may as well be SciFi.

I agree.

Let's focus on Sci-Fi.

I hold a slightly different opinion of Firefly's current state. I know there are tv execs out there watching the DVD sales (both series and BDM) and are simply waiting for the magic number (where profitability is a guarantee) before they make their move. Believe me there will be a network that will inquire about relighting the Firefly (built in fan base, existing cast, critical accliam, awesome creator). My only concern is that Joss will be on another project, and if that is the case, I think it is time for Tim Minear to fly solo.

Long story longer, pressure Sci-Fi (other networks will hear about it as well) and keep buying BDM and series copies (boosting sales and recruiting new "pesky fans").

Post those addresses for Sci-Fi and let the battle for Serenity Valley begin!

I don't know if this is some kind of cruel joke or a hallucination brought on by months of Firefly fever; but if it is legit, I advise all of you to fill out the survey on that website. I was unable to find the author of the website. Whoever is running the website eludes to a second season of Firefly in a variety of formats..

The Firefly Season 2 Project:
Captain Mal and the crew of Serenity need your help to stay flying. The Network "Alliance" wants to deny us of our beloved show, so the battle has begun.

We are looking to push the envelope of episodic television by offering Season Two of Firefly in a groundbreaking new format. Each episode (or the entire season) will be available for purchase in Standard or Hi-Definition.

Subscribers may choose one of three playback options; monthly DVD deliveries, TV On-Demand using your cable or satellite provider, or computer viewing via Streaming Download.

In order for our fight to be successful, we first need to take stock of the browncoat recruits that support our cause. It will only take a minute, is strictly confidential, and each profile will take the independents one step closer to victory!

I went to the site, and filled out the form. I'm not entierly sure it's legit, but it's a very cool idea. In the event there is no network willing to take Firefly, new technology is creating so many new ways to broadcast video. If we pay by the episode, whether online, pay-per view, or through some kind of DVD delivery system, I'm pretty sure there are enough people buying in to support it. Personally I'm pretty sure this is the future of entertainment anyways. Networks just slow things down with all of their redtape.

I registered at the site. It doesn't ask any specific info, so it seems fairly safe.

Not to sound like a brainwashed fanboy (but I will anyway). Sometimes networks/studios hire 3rd party independent production companies to run surveys to ascertain the feasibilty of a certain project (in this case Firefly).

While the format suggested is interesting, I think this may be a fact finding endeavor by a network wanting to air our BDH.

Just a theory...based in a little fact ;)

Just in case, I'm still working on the heartfelt form letter. I should have it here by tomorrow morning.
Is it sick to say that I don't think life is worth living without Firefly? Just a question!

Nope, we're all right there with you in this obsession... I mean, fandom. Actually, I mean love.

new to the community.
recieved the box set for christmas, and I must say that I was sceptical at first, but fell in love with the crew of "Serenity", as I found a bit of myself in each.
I hear that the problem with the series' initial sucess is due to it's airing during baseball season, when that was all anyone cared to watch. I had wanted to catch it, but never did. So, i've been reunited thanks to my sister.
sci-fi should at least re-run the series, seeing as how they've aired the first 30 seasons of Stargate SG-1 about 80 times now.
