GORRAM FOX!!!!!!!

By the way, Boomer, you're not the only household left without cable or a dish... Ours is also without either, by choice, because so far there's been no point in spending an extra $50 or more monthly for one or two channels with something worthwile one. However, if SciFi or some other cable channel were to pick up the future Firefly series (assume the sale, folks!), I'm sure we would order cable in a heartbeat.

Hey, we live in the Dark Ages. I don't even have full basic cable. What is this "dish" you speak of?

Okay, not totally the dark ages. I do have three VCRs, two DVD players and a Replay TV box (in a pear tree...)

I don't think I'd want SCI-FI to pick it up. A few years ago, I could turn on SCI-FI, and there would be quality science fiction/fantasy programming. Oh yeah. And Stargate: SG-1 hadn't yet entered Full Suckitude Mode. Now, I turn on SCI-FI and I get B movies about Sasquatch, or documentaries on tin-foil hats who claim they were "enlightened" by the lizard people from the fifth dimension. That's not sci-fi. That's paranoid schizophrenia. I'd rather have Firefly picked up by someone who isn't slowly descending into a cesspool of psychosis.

You really should have more consideration for other's feelings. This is an insult to cardboard boxes everywhere.

But no cardboard box has ever been the subject of an internet porn movie. That is the fasination right there. She's rich, and her tape ended up on the internet.

Not one to blow my own horn, but my wife if far hotter than Paris Hilton, and I don't need to watch internet porn for my fix. LOL

I guess that does it for some guys, but I would think they could find a hotter woman to drool over.

The sad thing is that "The Simple Life" (read as Simpleton Shameless Attempt at Ratings) got good ratings while it aired. Looks the ratings floated somewhere between 3.4 & 5.4.

Sadder still it seems to have done far better than that on at least one occasion...

FOX is stupid, but seems that alot of people are just as stupid.

Oh good. Now I can vent. I won't be sarcastic. With regards to Fox network: If I really want to see reality tv I'll watch the news. When I watch tv, I want to be entertained. Not by a bunch of idiot nobodies, but by trained, professional actors, comedians, directors, writers, etc. I can't think of anybody dumb enough to buy dvd's of a reality show. When someone from a reality show is on Leno or Conan, I have no idea who the hell they are. They aren't celebrities and I don't give a crap about them. Fox used to be a network I watched quite a lot, until they decided to go "network" and act like something they're not. They need to get back to innovative, groundbreaking concept shows like they used to have on. Because what they have on now isn't cutting it! Don't laugh, but the WB has some pretty good shows on by the way. 'Nuff said.

Forgive the lateness of this comment, as I only just registered a moment ago ^.^;

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.

As much as one may think Sci Fi would be a good home for Firefly, I'd say I'm glad they passed on the show.

Just look at their recent treatment of great space sci-fi shows. As stated in an artical on B5TV.com, Sci Fi seems to be distancing itself from any and all space bound science fiction. The cancelation of Farscape dispite superior ratings, the fact they had J. Michael Straczyski (sp) on board to do a new B5 spin-off series and let it dwindle into the void, and their total support of landbased sci-fi like Stargate and X-Files, all signs that the Sci-fi channel is no longer what it once was.

And I'm sure that if they did pick up the rights to Firefly, they'd only mistreat and abuse it, much like Fox has.

And as a fan of Serenity and her crew, I'd rather that not happen.

And I've gone off on quite the rant now ^.^;; What a way to join the forum...
