How can our show not be on the air yet/again? It's not like there is no fan support for the show. It would be one thing if the show sucked and it was disowned but the numbers don't lie. Look at the Amazon sale ratings. Can't Fox or some other TV Conglomerate put 2 and 2 together and bring it back

Ours is not to question why, ours is to be pissed off, steadfast, and zealotous.

We spread the word, we moan, we love, we complain, we have faith, and perhaps in quiet poetic moments we comment that we were, "fucked by the fickle finger of fate."

Such is life.

I've been watching the Amazon.com sales ranking too. Can't see how it wouldn't be making money by now. Somebody's got to be noticing. BTW there is a thread going on with mailing addresses for some of the networks -

Hadnwritten letters are most effective, don't have to be long. Y'all please join in and write some.
Maybe we'll get our heroes back.

Maybe it's because more people probably saw the finale of Firefly on TV than went to the movie its opening weekend. Sorry, i guess i shouldn't be so cynical...i mean, yeah, i don't get it either.

It really is the most baffeling thing. This is the greatest show that I have ever seen (there literly is no better show ing the verse). FOX must have screwed up just right to get Firefly canceled cause I see no way/reason on any planet to convince me otherwise.

Mal: "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

I was under the impression that the current problems were more of a timing/legal properties issue than any sort of desire to continue the show. For one, Joss is tired and wants to stay away from TV land for a while and secondly I think the movie rights license has to run out before TV show production can repeat again.

In short, don't expect anything for 4 years or more... and that's assuming the actors would still be interested in so long.

Hopefully, when all is said and done it'll be clear that BDM sequels would be profitable enterprises. My only concern is that I've hear the Amazon sales rankings can be wildly different from sales in general. It may be something about the computer-savvy Amazon-buyer that is very different from the typical Sprawl-Mart shopper. Plus, if stores like Target, Best Buy, WalMart etc. didn't expect high demand for BDM and Firefly they wouldn't have stocked many copies, and therefore even if people wanted to buy they would preferentially buy from Amazon. Not trying to be a damper, just realistic. :-) If anyone has a reliable site for stats regarding general DVD sales nationwide, I'd love to see it.
