Also, note the release date of each of these DVDs. I took the liberty of adding the month and year the DVD set was released. Not only is Firefly still in the top ten, but it was released a full two years before everything else there (except 24 Season 1, which is one of the most popular shows on TV right now). Not only that, but Firefly has been in the top 10 on Amazon pretty darn consistently. People(network execs) have to be noticing, but I don't understand why they won't do anything about it...
1. Grey's Anatomy, Season 1 (02/06)
2. Family Guy, volume 3 (11/05)
3. South Park, Season 7 (03/06)
4. Chappelle's Show, Season 2 (05/05)
5. Firefly, complete series (12/03)
6. 24, Season 1 (09/02)
7. 24, Season 4 (12/05)
8. Lost, Season 1 (09/05)
9. The Simpsons, Season 7 (12/05)
10. The Office, Season 1 (08/05)

There's a fair bit of money going into Firefly DVDs but I'm not sure it merits justifying making a series just for them: it would have to air on network TV.
And this is where things hit a brick wall: Joss won't work with Fox again. Well, would you work with someone who took your precious infant and then casually chucked it out of a twenty storey window while explaining to you how 'Fastlane' is where the network is heading.
I'm sure it hurt Joss enough having to make nice with Fox to get the rights to make Serenity elsewhere but to work with them on a day to day basis again?
So Fox will just sit there and earn dollar after dollar on these box sets and some exec will be promoting how he commissioned Firefly (skipping past how he screwed it over, naturally). And we have to sit here and sigh.

Hi all,
I don't post a lot...or much at all in fact, but I wanted to pass along something that I just remebered. At Dragon Con 2004 Nathan said when asked if there would ever be a firelfy show on tv again he said "When universal bought the rights to do Serenity, That new episodes of firefly could not be made for X amount of years." He nor any of the others on stage would even hint at what x was. That just hit me and I thought it might give you guys and gals a little more hope.
