Welcome, h0w412d!
Others have answered most of your questions, but I'll add that you can also enjoy the graphic novel "Serenity: Those Left Behind" (amazon.com and elsewhere), the viral marketing vids "The River Tam Sessions" (YouTube), and the "Official Visual Companion" books (one for the Big Damn Movie, one for the Firefly series with a second volume on the way).
It's a tradition around here to hand out a Browncoat to new folks who find their way to our nice boat. Most often it's FollowMal who does the distribution, but sometimes she gets a bit... wistful... while visiting the Captain's cabin.
So when that happens, I dig out my little stash of used virtual coats. Here, this one might fit you pretty well. Just never mind the patches, and those stains aren't what you think they are.
*hands h0w412d a previously-loved browncoat*
Now, go check out the galley for some strawberries and mudder's milk. There's also some kind of hot cheese. Glad to have you aboard! The world needs more Browncoats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!

Welcome to the boards! As you've no doubt surmised by now, we're mostly friendly folks. Poke about--there's all kinds of interesting things to see.
Now where's FollowMal with your virtual brown coat...?

Howdy HOW412D, welcome to the boat. Glad to have you onboard. As per your Q:
my questions are:
1) is there any hope of a comeback of a tv show, spinoff show, or a movie?
A1) There’s always hope. As an avid watcher of the History channel I've heard sailors from sunken ships say when they are lost in the water, "Once you've given up hope you're dead." SO, we never will give up hope. Right now it's the thing we have here in the black. We hold until we get the show back!Or maybe another BDM.
2) i'm a bit late, but what can i do to help the show?
A2) Well there's always the "Big Bang" theory. Recruit enough browncoat buddies and "Bang" on Universals, F*X or any other entertainment companies door and we will be heard. Hell they know we're here right now. The browncoats keep putting thorns in a lions paw. We are an irritation to them. An irritation that won't go away, and btw it's fun 
3) which idiot at fox cancelled one of the best sci-fi shows in gorram history? (i didn't say the best only because i've made Stargate SG-1 my lifetime favorite tv show, but Firefly's just microns away)
A3) In my estimation the brains go all the way to the top. Even the stupid ones .For some reason they were out to doom FF. They asked Joss for something, they got it, and then they dropped the ball on their end. That’s not to say I don't disagree with their first evaluation of the show. If was slow at the starting gate with viewer numbers. But since that time the numbers have improved dramatically, so there should have been a reevaluation of the property. There in the blame lies.
Anyhoo, just some lengthy answers to you questions. Sorry I was so long winded. It's just going to be that kind of day for me.
Have fun with the forum, Z out

Re: Cancellation
Did you see the joke article that one of the Al Qaeda guys infiltrated Fox and cancelled Firefly? Hi-larious. Every night at the end of the CBC news, they promo their website and the picture is the same one of the Al Qaeda dude. My husband and I laugh every time. It's a little (obscure and disturbing) Firefly moment for my day.

Welcome, new fan!! :D I am relatively new too, only caught on to the series and movie a month or two ago.
Stay tuned to this MB periodically, to hear about events, "voting" opportunities, etc. That's a good way to help the resurrection effort. As you probably saw, Serenity was recently voted "best sci-fi movie" on IMDB thanks to the fan support, which made big waves in the movie community at large, and brought attention to the show once again - every little bit of attention helps. :)
