Look at Battlestar as an example...show was cancelled after 1 season , 22 episodes (1978-1979). It did come back (1980), re-vamped with mostly a new cast about 18 months later, but that was also cancelled after a half season. Then a 25 year gap until the current re-incarnation, so the lesson is never say never.




*BUMP*

Hello again. Thank you for the kind greetings.

If this an issue simply about money, then I assume that those with money dont believe that they can profit from a series or another BDM or whatever. I would think that if there is money to be made, then someone, somewhere would step forward with the cash. Has anyone appealed (and I assume its been done a million times) to the "Big Guns" of Sci-Fi/Movies/technology? i.e.-George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Bill Gates, James Cameron, etc.?

Is there some "barrier" that we can not see to a continued series? I mean, lets say that I bought a lottery ticket today and won $100 million dollars. I then invested said money, bought every stupid thing I've ever desired, and stashed away the rest for my family and friends. I then stepped forward and said that I was putting 50 million dollars into a continuation of the Firefly series starting right where the BDM left off. (Personally I think some creative writing could bring Wash and the preacher back from the dead, but thats a topic for another thread.) So, what would happen next? I mean are the sets still intact? Are the props still around in a warehose somewhere? Would a TV studio step forward or could we convince one to take over? (Obviously not FOX) Does anyone here know the process that is required for getting a show on the air?

Sincerely,
Mike F.

Looking forward to the 7-8-7 rollout in July...Love it when our guys kick the crap out of Airbus !

You know , Professor Art Scholl used to have an acro-dog named 'Aileron'...But the Professor got killed in a spin accident making 'Top Gun' , when something on the airplane broke...

Best wishes on the project...My curiousity is now piqued...

I hale from california, working on the C130 AMP program. Military side, not commercial.

The 787 looks to be a good bet on Boeings part, nice lines, faster then everything else, able to get a descent amount of people around lots of places. Though it is suprising to see how huge and good looking the A380 is. That battle is not over by any means. Only time will tell.

Art Scholl I remember seeing him at El Toro airbase out here when I was a kid. Was in love with the A-4 Skyhawk at the time, and was amazed to see them for real. Still is my favorite aircraft of all. Also I knew about the Dog, but didnt pick my name because of it. I remember hearing about him losing it in a spin, especially because I knew of him having seen him in videos and for real. Very sad. Good pilot.

Welp, got to get ready for work.
