Okay, I'm keeping the hope under control. But I do have hope.
And here is the form my hope takes:
I hope that my Big Damn Pass for the December Flanvention II goes to waste, because the BDHs can't attend, because they're too busy shooting Firefly Season Two for CW.

It strongly seems like more and more signs point to this happening. It's just too conencidental to have all three of them leaving at the same time.
Believe me, I will by a TiVo just for this!

Yup, my hopes are up, more than a little. The WB and UPN both had early successes with Joss shows (Buffy and Angel, respectively), so it's almost like he's "among family" over there already.
Also, as I've pointed out before, I think the SciFi network is the *logical* place for a Firefly resurrection - but if the CW wants to start bidding on it, more power to 'em. It would be sweet if both networks wanted it, and had to outbid each other in efforts to land the show.
I know that's pie-in-the-sky dreaming, but if you're going to dream, why not dream big? And what's the harm in hoping? If it doesn't happen, it's not like anyone promised me it would. Only that it *could*. I feel confident we haven't seen the last of our Big Damn Heroes on the screen, be it big screen or small. It might take a year, two years, three or ten, but they'll be back. I'm sure of it.
Now, another thing to think about: If you're a fledgling network and need to fill some time slots with something that will bring in that oh-so-important 16-29-year-old demographic, would you rather resurrect a "failed" series that comes with around 3 million all-but-guaranteed viewers, or would you rather roll the dice on something like "Ellen's Reasons Why Not" (cancelled after ONE episode!), which comes with exactly ZERO guaranteed viewers? Me, I'd try to anchor at least one time slot to a show that's already got a proven-loyal fanbase already installed. 'Course, maybe that's why I'm not a network programmer (that and that pesky soul I haven't been able to get rid of!)
Just a few thoughts to conjure on,

OK fellow Browncoats heres the score. We have a new super power coming into being. We have also been incredibly effective at developing a fanbase for a show that was cancelled after one season FOUR YEARS AGO! We ARE the mighty and we CAN accomplish great feats. The only Thing we are lacking now is a singular focus, a strategy. We need to strike while the iron is hot and force ourselves down the throat of the enemy, no longer shall we sit and hold this valley while the alliance grows in power, I say we take back lost ground now! I am sure that while there isnt a site for CW yet their perponents the WB and that other thing have sites to write to. We need to make our intentions known to CW and to Joss, let him know that reinforcements have arrived.If all we do is sit around and hope, how will anything be accomplished. We need to fight! If you are going to hope, hope for victory!

faces@thewb.com - here is the email for th WB's feedback
Itried to find something for UPN..but there is no Email...only a webbased form that specifys: "do not submit...any ideas or suggestions for new television programs ("Unsolicited Ideas"). UPN's policy is to discard all Unsolicited Ideas. " - so they're probably no listening..
I've already sent emails to both..ya'll should do the same... but I have a query... does Fox not have rights to the series(did they ever) or is it just up for grabs to whomever wants to pick it up?

This is a copy of the email I sent to the address provided above to WB. I encourage all of my fellow Browncoats to do the same as soon as possible. Lets lay down some cover fire!
I am but one of a massive fanbase of a show known as FireFly. We are aware that a new entity is coming into being known as CW. We are also aware that the current focus is on viewers of my age group, (16-29). I understand enough about business and risk to know that a new show that has zero fanbase is merely a potential loss, a shot in the dark if you will. It is true however that a show with an established fanbase has much more potential to drive your ratings and your viewer base as there is already a foundation on which to build. Not to mention that this fanbase has more than quadrupled since the shows "cancellation" four years ago. That tells me that there are devoted followers ready to drive the new CW entity should they pick up the FireFly series. I hope that your industry realizes that the new face of the public requires stimulation and depth. I believe that the downfall of the show originally was due to the fact that those backing it did not want a story that actually pulled the audience in, they wanted mindless "no brains required" programming. Again I sincerely hope that reason will win over the new CW entity in this way; you will have a gaurunteed following at the shows inception, and you will be providing something new and unique from one of the greatest minds in script writing.
Thank you for your time and concideration.

I don't want to hope too much.
Wait yes I do.
