Thank you to those who sent letters, and those who are "fashionably late"; with the extra day of no mail, due to President Ford's Funeral, our letters will be arriving around the 3rd.
Please remember that we're e-mailing feedback@scifi.com on the 2nd of January.
Thanx again!

To the Programming Department:
Firefly is one of your more popular shows, even though it’s not part of your Channel’s Regular Rotation. Check the Numbers from the last few "Marathons" you've had of Firefly, and I'm sure you'll agree that it's still doing quite well. It's also in the Interests of NBC/Universal that it BE a popular program. The Film Serenity is doing well in DVD sales, and Firefly's popularity certainly ties into that.
I've noticed that your programming focus has been to make Sci/Fi more attractive for women to watch. I appreciate the thought that goes into programming choices that achieve that end. It has been my experience, from the Firefly and Serenity Web Sites that many women are fans of Firefly, Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin. I think more women would be interested in seeing this show, if given the opportunity.
Here's what I have in Mind:
Firefly as a Summer Replacement Series
There are 14 Episodes, if you count the Pilot as One Episode. Show the Series in the dvd Format, the way Joss Whedon originally intended them to be. Sci/Fi could have each Episode Introduced by one of the Show's Cast, perhaps a different one each time, or One “permanent” Host and
Joss himself for the Pilot Episode. The "Host" can intro an Episode, and provide a tidbit of commentary or trivia at the middle and end of each Installment. Show one per week, on the same designated night, just like a regular Series.
The Production costs will be extremely low, compared to the cost of a "From scratch" New Series. It'll take all Summer and Folks can Tune in, Same Time, Same Channel each week. It'll be a blast for those of us already familiar with Firefly, of course, and would Introduce an entirely New Audience to Firefly (And, by extension, Serenity) as well.
This could generate enough renewed interest in Firefly to bring about interest in a Serenity Sequel, or perhaps a Serenity-based Mini-Series. Also, if Sci/Fi is in line for the non-paying Cable Premiere of Serenity, this would be the PERFECT Tie-in!
I hope you all give this some serious consideration. It could certainly work to the benefit of all concerned, Fan and Network alike..
Sincerely,
Timothy D Brown

A Huge Thank You to everyone who sent out letters and e-mails over the last few days!
The "project" isn't over, though. Not as long as you take an interest in promoting this idea. If you want to keep sending e-mails to Sci/Fi, that's a Shiny idea, and we won't discourage you from doing it.
-I sent 4 e-mails this morning, from 4 different Addresses!
