I'm new to this forum and i have a feling this topic is something that comes along quite frequently. I saw Serenity for the first time not too long ago and was completely amazed by it as i never considered myself to be a sci-fi fan. I then was told that Serentiy was made after a tv series called firefly. I netflixed it noticing there was only one season; i watched it and was even more entertained by the series. I then wikipediad "firefly" to learn that it was cancelled during its first season but it still had a huge following. So, that being sayed...is firefly completely scrapped or will its fan base encourage a return to tv by popular demand?(like family guy).

We're working on it! Seriously, though, we don't know. You have two choices I guess; be depressed and give up-glad to have the brief shining moment that was Firefly/Serenity... or keep making noise...trying to get noticed by someone, somewhere in the hopes that we'll see more of the 'verse. Here's what we do know; the DVD for Serenity sold much better than anticipated so they are coming out with a 'special' version later this year....Joss is releasing a new comic later this year as well...featuring all the characters we know and love...the Firefly Companion Vol. 2 is coming out next month I think. As far as new films...hmmmm....well, the actors' contracts expire to make any new films this fall.
So with all that in mind...choose to be glum or noisy and hopeful. There's quite a bunch of us who vote every hour at richlabonte.net/tvvote...When I started back in October or so Firefly was about 8th we're now in second place. Will it make any difference? Probably not but it's something to do for those of us with OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder)! I've also joined and will be marching with the "76th Independent Army" battalion later this year at the Science fiction/fantasy convention (Dragon*Con) in Atlanta..now that's something I have never done for ANY show...so stick around...ya' never know.

thank you...so there is some hope, and no i don't plan on being "glum" and giving up. Im not prepared to march with you lol, but i will however start by recommending friends and co-workers to watch firefly/serenity. That website you mentioned for voting, is it a popular site that may actually give some pull for the show?

You did the right thing.
To keep Serenity flying,go get the entire series!
Watch and enjoy them all from start to finish.
Join the fans here and elsewhere.
Write to Fox and tell them you want more.

"We see virtual worlds as an extraordinarily promising new entertainment medium. This is a great opportunity for 20th Century Fox and for the fans of Firefly because Multiverse will deliver an experience that will remain true to the original series, while enabling a whole new level of personal involvement for fans."
Did the primary buffer panel just fall off?

Howdy TWEAKERLIME and welcome 
Any show or short lived tv series (such as Firefly) will die and only stay dead when the last fan of that show gives up and tosses in the chips. So far FF is a long way from that. There are new fans like yourself joining the browncoat ranks every day. We haven't peaked yet and I don't think we ever will. What can you do? Spread the word of the "Verse" to family and friends. Come here and talk to your browncoat buddies, because believe it or not your just being here has made us stronger. Buy the dvds and loan them out to co-workers. Anything that you can think of to help the Joss verse is all good.
Glad to have you onboard, enjoy, Z

Hey Tweakerlime: the MMORG is real...two years away, tho. As far is if the voting will help...probably not...but it feels good to be pulling for a great show with a lot of great people....

I still haven't given up hope either.
The way I see it, we keep getting more and more fans everyday, as shown by just looking at this site. Also really, how many other shows get canceled after 14 episodes, get a movie years later, and have an enormous fan-base?? There's no point in giving up when we've already won.
By the way, welcome to the site!

"We don't know" isn't really an honest description of the situation.
(1) Even if the Verse were one day to come back to TV, it would not be "Firefly", because as Joss as said, you can't recreate/recapture something that way.
(2) While the DVD sales are routinely strong, the movie flopped at the box office, which isn't going to cause any television network to come banging on doors for the property.
It's really much closer to reality to say, "Such a thing is very doubtful".
