I really want to see it but am pretty much computer iliterate (yikes did i spell that right i'm illiterate in more ways i guess) so i am not able to view it on the web. So is anyone selling it on DVD format? I would really appreciate the info. Thanks in advance.

There is one on the DVD set in special features, not sure if thats the one you want though.

The version on the DVD is missing some gags. Notably:
- the Milennium Falcon flying through the ship (from the beginning of "Objects in Space"). Think of the Falcon flying into the Death Star in RotJ and that's what this was like
- Nathan Fillon joking around during a scene from "The Message" (he just kept popping up)
I can see why the first gag was deleted (who wants to pay royalties for that?) but I'm not sure why the second one was removed.
Also, there may be more missing that I just don't remember.

Ok I watched the original gag reel again, and there's a lot of stuff that's been trimmed out.
Get the original here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/feature.asp?f=42.
- The 'Love Boat' part (again, why pay royalties)
- Lots of little slip-ups where folks swear
- A 'how much is that geisha in the window' song during the shooting of the opening of "The Train Job"
- an awesome segment of Wash being interviewed by the Alliance in "Bushwhacked." ("I wasn't in to hairy women when I met Zoe...")
Worth watching but I can see why they slimmed it down for the DVD.

They swear in the commentaries, and I don't mean "rutting" or "go-se" or the like. Also, I see spoofs on Star Wars and Love Boat all the time on TV, so I don't see what the problem is.
The full gag reel is definitely worth the download!

Spoofs are one thing, but the gag reel used actual footage from Return of the Jedi as well as the Love Boat theme song. To qualify as a parody, you have to alter a significant portion of a song (something like 40%), and using film footage is a no-no.

If you are able to post to this site, you can deal with getting the longer gag reel--which is really worth it, at 20 minutes of FF mayhem and hilarity. You just need to download it from the previously mentioned site, and as long as you have Quicktime (which you probably do, and if you don't you can download it for free from Apple's site) all you need to do is to launch the file and you are good to go.
If your internet connection is really slow, that could be a problem as the file is quite large: about 54,000 KB (54MB). Try it, and if that doesn't work I am sure one of us would burn you a copy onto a CD and mail it to you. . . .

Also- If you can't download it from here, and you have Quicktime, you can get it in 4 parts from here: versaphile.com/download/firefly.html.

That's the way I got it. Only took 4 hours on my good ol' dial-up connection. Worth every minute, in my opinion. Funny stuff.
