Okay, so...just a thought. What if we were to set up a organized fund to buy Serenity for orphaned teenagers or something. You know... we could slap some kind of charity name on the DVD like "A family on board" or something like that. It would raise awareness as well as applying DVD sales to our total. Maybe we could even get stars of the show to come out... Tell me what you guys think.

Many of us have done this. I think we'd have to coordinate our efforts in order to maximize the results.

Everyone seems to be forgetting one of the most important factors to getting a show back on the air. Its not just write some letters and lickity-split looky looky Firefly is back. There's tons of red tape to sift through, the biggest obstacle being Sci-Fi would have to buy the rights to the show from Fox. And with so much public support, they're not going to let it go for a very long time. There's so much law requirements within the media aspect that it would cost more to simply buy the show than produce half a season.
You really want to get something done? Start writing (non-threatening) letters to Fox.

I like that you reminded us of the non-threatening part. I think we all tend to get a little whimsical in te brainpan, when it comes to Fox.

I do agree Flipdog! We need to get organized and get the word out. If we are to be united, it needs to be under one roof. Call me bias, I haven't been here long, but I love this forem. It looks better, is more user friendly, and has the best fans than any other site out there. We need to get a good form letter going (better than what I wrote up there), and why not two; one to Fox, and one to Sci-fi, that are easily assessible. Then we need to go and spread the word in all the other forems out there, and bring them under this roof, for this part of the campaign.

Hey,
I just saw where UPN and WB are joining together to form one network called CW. They still have a lot of programming to fill. How can we get them to look at doing Firefly?

No no no, not HBO. I don't have those channels, and don't know anyone who does. It's got to be SciFi or some other regular cable channel. Let's flood SciFi ( or maybe...Fox?!?!?) with e-mails (or snail mail), letting them know how important bringing back our Firefly is!!!

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!
Not at all.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, let's look at our options. First, we need a group to go to all of those various browncoat sites and get these people on here pronto. Remember organization is our biggest weapon. Second, SciFi does seem to be our most viable option, but we should definitely consider the upcoming CW network as well. We need to carpetbomb both networks, but we need to make Fox "want" to give up the rights to Firefly. Now if anyone has any idea on how to pull off that last part I'd love to hear it. For instance if everyone stopped buying Fox DVD box sets would they make or lose money by holding the rights to Firefly in a death grip? Good work on that form letter Shiney777.
