39 here.

We've talked about this before, but we're hitting on one of the truly unusual things about this show and it's both a blessing and a curse.

Of course its great that it brings together people of so many ages, and that speaks volumes about the universal appeal of the characters and their stories, but that vast age spread had made it very difficult for narrow-minded studio types to promote. I still think one of the biggest mistakes fox made with the show was trying to aim it so squarely at a youth market. Membership on this board (and I think the demographics at the official site are similar) clearly indicates this isn't a show that teenagers were drawn to any more than other age groups.

Anyway, that was then... I hope the promotion of the new movie will learn from the previous errors and promote Firefly to all ages.

BTW, Maniac, did the math twice. Are you telling us you're only six months old?

How'd you get 6 months, Sarge? I got a little over 29 years, but then again, I did fail math, twice.

Oh, and tell me to go to bed earlier. I have school in the morning.
