I almost posted this as well. I'm glad I looked around first! Was this guy responsible for giving the order for the firefly cancellation?

Maybe Grushnow's next job will involve asking: "Would you like fries with that?" Here's hoping everyone else involved in FIREFLY cancellation gets the boot as well!

I actually have no idea wether or not he was involved in the Firefly debacle. I was just hoping there was some unemployed TV exec FFF.net lurker.

I believe Universal now owns the rights to Firefly, so we'd need someone to get a job at universal to ensure Firefly's return.

I would like it though if someone here could get a job at fox as president and run the company into the ground to revenge the cancellation of Firefly.

The current Fux Nutworkz staff and "leadership" seem hell-bent on doin that job for us with no further intervention NightTrain.

If stupidity and ignorance were painful, they'd be writing in agony.

Actually, I belive Universal has only the movie rights. I think FUX ... er FOX still has the TV and print rights.

That's how I understand it as well. Well, I don't know anything abotu the print rights, but I agree that Fox PROBABLY owns the TV rights still, and Universal just bought the movie rights. I wonder what that includes, if they could only make a theatrical release, or if a driect to DVD production would be considered a movie as well.

Anyone know for sure who owns what at this point?

Interesting, the articles about Grushow's departure all seem to be linked to several series failing last fall. Too bad they didn't give Firefly one more year, I bet the ratings would have been way better than "Joe Millionaire Average Fantasy Island Bachelor", or whatever piece of junk they have been running lately.

The only shows worth my time on Fox are "24" and "The Simpsons". All of that reality crap blows donkey dick.

Ummm...sorry, I'm still pissed.
