i haven't read too many waves from other browncoats writing about letters they've sent to networks and tv studios about bringing firefly back to the airwaves. are we pinning all our hopes to an iffy movie coming out of universal studios? what if this falls through? i think we should ban together and double our efforts and innundate studios/networks with MORE correspondence than ever! is there a way for fans to petition this with the help of joss and the cast and crew of firefly? i, myself, have written to scifi,universal,upn,wb,etc. i don't think that dvd sales alone are enough to assure the hollywood money people that firefly is a good investment! i think we should continue to stand up and represent our fan interest as well, now more than ever! BROWNCOATS UNITE!!!

LETS MAKE 2004 THE YEAR FIREFLY RETURNS! (signed as always, a loyal browncoat)

there is a petition site, that you can get people to sign, and send it off as one big package to Fox and such. Or maybe start one here. Just make sure those blue-handed Fox execs get it.

Here is my signature-ish thing if you start a petition:

Name: Teela Brown (I might offer my real name, but not now)
Reason: BRING BACK FIREFLY!!!
Comments: "I don't give half a hump whether you're guilty or not. You're going to burn in that very special level of hell. A place reserved for network executives who cancel intelligent shows and instead embrace ben-dan go-se reality programming." (Sorry, Zaphod, I had to.)
YOU CAN'T TAKE THE SKY FROM US!!!!!

Well, that is that. I hope you do start a petition, and I'm not kidding when I say I will sign it like that. Any way, Keep flyin'!

Well that just goes to show that whenever anyone has a good idea for a tv show, that some moronic network nazi has to come in and ruin it for all of us. BRING BACK FIREFLY NOW!!!

There's no place that I can be since I found serinity.

Get the Gorram petition going and i'll get 50 people to sign it over here in Australia where Firefly has never been aired. Everyone (and I mean everyone) I have shown the show to has been absolutely amazed that this show could be cancelled while all the other TRIPE stays on air.... To quote Jubal Early "does that seem right to you?"

Hey Calhoun,

I am not ever sure if we had anything to do with it, but a bunch of us Canadians did an E-mail campaign to get our Sci-Fi channel, the Space Channel to air Firefly. I recieved an Email back saying they could not comment on their scheduling, but my input was welcome and would be considered. Then sure enough, Firefly was in the Fall Schedule unairred eps and all, Mondays at 7PM,8PM,9PM depending on your timezone ( better timeslot than Fox gave it )

I recall a post saying that in Brazil there is a strong fan base as well. perhaps you guys can get a local network to air it, more browncoats for the cause.

Good Luck

Whoa--do we really want to be petitioning FOX on this? Not only did they kill "Firefly" after apparently never understanding it or supporting Joss's vision, but one gets the definite sense that Joss is not feelin' too kindly towards that network and wouldn't much want to take the series back there.

It would make much more sense to target a network that would support the show. Just as Joss moved "Buffy" over after FOX killed it, we should consider a move. (Of course, this assumes that FOX either doesn't have the rights, or has them and is willing to sell them for a price that another network is willing to pay.)

If Universal is interested in the movie, maybe they would also buy a series. I don't know if that studio does make TV shows--does anyone? I gather that the show was pretty expensive to make, which may be why it didn't get shopped to the SciFi Channel in the U.S., as their budget isn't exactly equally to that of big studios and networks like FOX.

It would be great if Joss would give us feedback on where he thinks the show would take hold--although one must assume that if there were a network he thought would buy it, he'd already have been in talks with them. He's said that he's spent every day of his life since cancellation trying to keep the show alive. . . .

I've signed on-line petitions before. I'm not sure how well they work but it's worth a try. As for Fox cancelling Firefly...well, I guess I'm sorta used to it by now. My favorite show of all time was cancelled in 1978...Battlestar Galactica, then the networks had to go and ruin the original concept of the show by "re-imagining" it. Let's hope that doesn't happen to Firefly 25 years from now.

The best bet is to try and get ahold of the networks in any possible way to convince them to pick the show.

Kinda makes you wonder what kind of back berths run FOX, doesn't it?
