Me, I'm all about the series. I want my weekly fix! Long, measured and slow...

I'd prefer a second season. Although I don't think it would be called Firefly. I think Joss would carry the name Serenity over from the movie.

As for what we can do to try to get the series back, well, constantly bugging Fox about it would be one way. Another way would be to keep spreading the word and encouraging others to watch/buy the Firefly and Serenity DVDs. And then there's playing and winning a lottery so we could offer to fully fund a second season which I'm sure Fox wouldn't turn down. Hey, the next Powerball is $220 million ($101 million cash value). I know I'm playing.

By the way, I'm not 100% serious on that last point. I don't recommend anyone start buying lottery tickets. You're much more likely to gamble your money away than actually win anything.

It's not impossible to get the series back. Family Guy was canceled as well, but there were so many fans of the show out there that they brought it back.

This can be the story of Firefly as well. We just need to be loud, and make some noise. Maybe we could start massive emails to Fox, but that leads me to another question. Does it have to be Fox that picks the show back up, or can another channel pick the show up? Like the Sci-Fi Channel?

There's another thread going on that's talking about the Sci Fi Channel/Universal etc.

I'm in Scotland, so all I can offer is the BBC, but hey, they've fully supported the raaaather mahvellous new Dr Who (new series this weekend...yay!).Ya never know.

Winning EuroMillions and funding a new series...what a fantastic idea. I was going to cancel the debt of some African states, but that's a much better idea.

P.S. Had another thought. Rare at this time of the morning.
What TV show would you see cancelled/sacrificed to give a new series the airing it deserves?

Personally I'm going for 'Skinny Housewives', and 'Lost (the plot)'.
And why is Charmed still running?
Not my cuppa; apologies to anyone if they're fans!

Can't say I agree with you on the Lost thing. I'm a huge fan of Lost. I think the writers are amazing, and the story line is great. It doesn't move as fast as everybody would like, but the drama mixed with the Sci-Fi is awesome. The flashbacks really give it a nice kick.

I think it would be cool if Sci-Fi picked it up because I don't think much would need to be sacrificed for the show to air on that station.

Going to the convention which featured Lost and Firefly stars was the best thing in the world! hehe

Maybe if we diverted the nav sat to the transmiter to make the signal go further?
Seriously, though, I would love to see sc-fi pick it up. Fox be damned! I wonder about that, though. I mean, I think they would have picked it up if they could afford to, I know Joss was pitching it everywhere, can't imagine he'd miss appealing to sci-fi. That and the rights might be a problem. You know, if we could get everyone to just stop watching Fox until they agreed to bring it back, that might work - boycotts are very effective - but I don't see how that would happen. I've tried to convince people to boycott so many things in my life and have had very limited success. That would fit with my opening comment, though; they couldn't go anyplace until they found the signal.

Welcome Maxrimstain! Glad to have you aboard!

As my fellow browncoats have said, we are focusing all our efforts on promoting the movie DVD. Right now pretty much everything is riding on the DVD selling as many copies as is humanly possible. In order to do that we are trying to introduce the movie & the series to as many new people as possible to expand the fanbase & sell DVDs.

Be sure to show the movie & series to everyone you know. If you can afford it, buy copies of "Serenity" on DVD & give them as gifts. Spread the word.

Keep flyin'!

What will it take to see Serenity in orbit again?

I think tv exects with enough smarts to know when they have a money making property on their hands. One starts with an acorn before one gets a giant oak tree.

From what I've seen Serenity/Firefly fandom has grown by leaps and bounds in a short time. New stories told by a new tv series can only bring in tons more fans. Of course if tv executives don't see this its only because they don't want to.The blind fools ( followed by mad,crazy laughter)
