OK, someone out there in the verse knows this information... or should! Don't worry, I'm not a stalker or crazy person "out to get" anyone... I just want to know... WHO'S THE MAN? And what I mean is of course: Who is actually the individual with the ultimate, final decicion on WHEN Firefly will be back in production?? (I say "when" ofc...) You can talk about studios, networks, boards and whatnot all you like. In the end, who is THE MAN with the power to bring it back?
It should be obvious. The preasure needs to be applied in the right place. With such a following (is there anything like this in the Verse?) there should be plenty of influnce available out there! I know, I know... there's all kinds of petitions but... well, does it actually reach "the man"?
There are actual people with names behind every decicion. Not networks. Not studios. People! Has there been any comment / response from the actual person /people behind the decicion to cancel the show? I would like to know...
I'm not even going to discuss the "what if's" or whatever about Firefly. Joss wants to make it, soooooo many people want to watch it... what is the problem? This is a no brainer for anyone with or without a calculator.
NB: I apoligize if my English is not perfect, it's not my native tongue. Also, if this information is already available out there, I'm sorry I have not been active enough on the main Cortex.

If we knew that, we would have made it happen already, thawiz, dear.

I reckon there is more then one "the man" out there. There are plenty of stuido execs and higherups that could either make or brake the future of firefly.
You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

I'm not really sure who holds the rights to it right now. Probably Universal, if that's the case, then it would be the head decision making guy/gal at Universal. But it really won't do much good to tell them to bring it back, they'll do it when they see the percentage in it. So really the thing to do is to keep converting people, encouraging them to buy the series and/or movie, and then the numbers will jump out at "the man" and they'll see that they can make some money.

No no guys... I'm a bit disappointed here!! You guys don't even KNOW who has the actual rights anymore?? I mean, c'mon! I'll be honest, I expected a little bit more from the community! I know I'm NEW here but... It's OBVIOUS there's work to be done here guys! And I'm not giving this one up that easily. Granted, I know the world is spun by the mighty dollar, but there is something to be said for "people skills" as well! He He.
On a more serious note guys... Who owns the rights... Who's the proverbial "man" here... This should at least be partial "public record" right?? How can the community even dream about making a difference if we don't even know who we're speaking to??
Someone must know. And we need to find out. THEN we can get to work!

Now that was the worst case of "I don't give a flip" response I've seen in a while... but ANYWHO...
I don't even live in the US. I live on the other side of this little blue marble we live on actually. And I know a lot of people will say stuff like: "Chill out, it's just a TV-show", "Who cares, we can't make a difference anyway" or "I don't want to know cause two men with blue gloves will come and take me away"... BUT.. in all seriousness guys... Do we want the show back or not? Do we want to make an effort or sit here on a forum and dream about it?
I agree that doing all we can to expand the fanbase is good. But it does not have to stop there! If a pay-TV channel in NORWAY buys Firefly and broadcasts it at prime hours (they have and they are! Canal+ is sending it now!) then TRUST ME, the interest is bigger than even this community is aware of!!
So.. I'm looking into several things.. I have friends in the media over here, both behind and in front of the camera on the nations third largest network. I'm trying to lobby a bit there. I'm also working on getting in touch with other media such as the entertainment section of one of the larger newspapers to see if I can spark some interest for a story on the community.
See, I don't care if it's just a TV-show. I want it back on a gorram regular basis!

THAWIZ1,
one of the ways ppl in power and control stay that way is because they don't want you to know who they really are. Therefore,for a bad decision who can you blame?
Book said it pretty well" People like that come at you sideways. Saddle up and smile. Kill (a really good tv series) without question."
just one of my conspiracy theories.

I would say that is pretty much disrespectful to all the fans here who have stood by the show for years and who played a large part in getting Serenity (the movie) made. Guess what: we DID the impossible. So don't complain about us not doing anything.
