Get "Buffy," "Angel" and "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon on the phone and have him whip up one of his patented, obsessively loved cult dramas. Cowboys in space, vampire detectives, superhero gals -- whatever. But making Whedon the cornerstone of this night would be a smart move (and in this iTunes-oriented and DVD-crazed age, there’s no doubt The CW would make a mint from ancillary sales of any Whedon drama).
It would make sense to pair up Whedon’s new show with the critically acclaimed “Veronica Mars” (which Whedon adores and has guested on). The downside: My head might explode from sheer joy.

Sent along my comments already. I posted them in my blog, as the people over at the paper screen replies.
This'd be so shiny.

I am praying to Buddha that this is a glimmer of hope... yet with a resolve not to just collapse if it's not true. Please, oh, please let it be the gift we Browncoats have so been hoping for.

While it would be cool to have Whedon back on the air (Firefly or not) this lady has about all the credibility of the guy at the local Seven-Eleven discussing TV line-ups.
I particularly enjoyed the part where she suggests giving the slot on Thursday night that would compete with "My Name Is Earl" or "The Office" to the creative people behind "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office." Yeah, THAT makes sense...

I would be very surprised if Firefly finds it's way to the CW network. What the person is suggesting is that Whedon should cook up a new show for CW not one of his old shows.
Anyways a lot has to happen in order for any Firefly/Serenity reincarnation to come to the CW network. First Universal has to pass on more movies and allow it be made into a new show. Then either 20th Century Fox has to make more episodes or sell the rights to another production company. Then the CW could try to pick up but even then there are still a lot of factors involved. Chances of it happening are worse than Unviersal making another movie or Fox picking the series back up or even the Firefly Season 2 project.

It was reported that Nathan, Summer, and Gina were seen leaving one of the exec buildings at Paramount where they are setting up the new CW unit.

That's only a rumor. Someone heard it from a friend kind of deal. We shouldn't take much stock in that. Just as much as this article is an editorial not a news piece.
