Yep, they're cheap and they'd cut the show to about 38 minutes to allow for 22 minutes of their stupid ads. Also would have to "go cheap" on the casting...ie:

Jason Bateman : Mal
Robin Givens : Zoe
Paul Reubens : Wash
Robert Guillome: Book
Tina Yothers : River
Danny Bonaduce : Jayne
James Brolin : Simon
Tara Reid : Kaylee
Elvira : Inara
Michael Richards: Guest Reaver

Your cast list is both hilarious and inspirational, and therefore I would make bold to offer one addition:
Gary Coleman: Badger

Thanks for the chuckle!

It was like that when we got here!

I've gotta say, I think Robert Guillaume would make an awesome Book.

Gorram it..how could I forget Gary Coleman? He would actually pay Sci Fi for the work.

You're right~! One thing about our Ron....the guy is always laughing and in a good mood...I've never seen him interviewed ever where he didn't have ear to ear grins aplenty.

I also heard this was the case from several unreliable sources. With Battlestar Gallactica having one season left, and SG ending Sci-Fi is looking for something with an already established fan base to dump the BSG/Stargate money into and it would be oh so shiny if they picked up Firefly.

Sci-Fi is cheap but remember the original firefly had a next to nothing budget anyways.

The pilot cost 4 million I believe, and each consecutive episode rounded out to 1 to 2 million each. You really should look more into things before you post.

While he was not right about Firefly having a next to nothing budget, Stargate SG1 is more expensive to make.

From this article:

Quote:

Stargate SG-1 is a mature series and production costs continue to mount: it's budgeted for at least $2 million U.S. per episode.

I miss Firefly and Serenity soooooo much.

Early: I only hurt people because they keep getting in the way of me finding you. Tell her.
Simon: What am I? Your advocate?
Early: You are starting now.
Simon: He's really very...gentle...and fuzzy. We're becoming fast friends.
Early: You folks are all insane.
Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

That is a next to nothing budget for a tv show. I mean Gorram, Farscape cost that much, stargate and BSG cost more then that to mak. So jus' maybe it shuld be you who checks their facts first.

Fox might still own the rights to the TV show. Buying those rights from Fox would be a bitch and a half. I'd prefer to see the show in FX. FX only releases one (two max) big show(s) a season, and they market them into being smash hits. Look at Rescue Me, Nip Tuck, The Riches, The Shield, ect.
