If anybody appreciates FOX its that whole "cardboard box" crowd. FOX TV is geared towards the packing material mentality.

A friend lent me the series on Saturday and I finished watching it yesterday. Throught the entire series I kept muttering to myself, "Man, I hate FOX." But at least there's now a bit of prescident.
FOX wants to bring Family Guy back apparently. Due to the DVD sales and the fan base, they think it's a "Sure thing" now. So, maybe they'll do the same with Firefly. Though, hopefully, Firefly can go to another station (Still waiting on the actual answer to that poll) that actually knows how to schedule a TV show.
Plus, there's the movie coming out. Scheduled (did I read that right?) for 2005, I hope it doesn't resolve a damn thing with any of the characters. Doing so would be a self-admitting nail in the coffin of the series.
Anyways, here's to hoping. Later.

Welcome to the board RobertRence. Always glad to have another fan post. Good to hear that the DVD set brought another fan over. Glad you enjoyed it.Quote:

The idea has circulated that perhaps w/ the precedent of Family Guy that Fox might reconsider Firefly due to the better than anticipated DVD sales. Personally I would not want Fox to handle the show again. Their bungling the first time around nearly killed the show permanently, and I would be hesitant to give them another crack at it.
With Universal buying the rights to the show, at least as far as movie rights go, I would like to see it on Sci Fi. More Sci Fi fans would have a chance to see it there, and it would be a better fit in keeping with the line of programming.
Let's all hope that the excellent DVD sales shows Universal the potential of the show as a movie, and that the movie surpasses their hopes. If it does, perhaps we will see Serenity fly on the small screen again.

From what I have gathered Family Guy is probably going to come back, but most likely it will only be on the Cartoon Network not on Fox. Major networks just do not bring back a series after it is cancelled. I guess they do not want to set a precedent that people will hang over their heads in the future. Like everyone else here I would love to see the show come back to tv, but I do not think there is a chance in hell of it coming back to fox (not that I would want it to come back to those bastards). Also, let's not forget that SciFi had a chance to pick up the show after fox gave JW permission to shop it around and they passed.

I don't know... a Simple Life DVD with the right extra features might be fun...
(I'm thinking of a certain home video if you haven't caught my drift)

I'd be overjoyed to have Firefly come back to series TV, but sad because I wouldn't be able to watch. We're one of the only families left in the country without cable or dish. Just too damn expensive for us, AND I'd spend all of my valuable FFF.net time watching
FoodNetwork.
Guess we'll just wait and see.
