What's the #1 seller?

I think it is either The Sopranos or Sex & the City.

And don't forget, Star Wars is going to end on an extremely down note:
[Possible spoiler, for some of the less observant]
The main character -- Anakin Skywalker -- is going to become a minion of evil (Darth Vader). His love interest -- Princess/Senator Amydala -- runs off into hiding with their twins, young Luke and Leia, to escape the horror of her husband's unspeakable villainy. His mentor -- Obi Wan Kenobi -- winds up a hermit, wandering the forbidden wastes of Tattooine, his Jedi Order destroyed by Anakin and Senator/Emperor Palpatine. Master Yoda has to hide in a swamp and eat gruel 'til the day he dies.
And of course, the entire universe falls under the iron grip of ultimate evil. In Lucas' version of Armageddon, the Antichrist and the Beast win. That's how Episode III ends, hello.
To make matters worse, Hayden Christensen's whiny acting and Lucas' stilted storytelling will make you wish you were only being strangled by Vader's Death Grip...
How's that for a feel good movie for the summer?
"Firefly: Serenity" outta rake in the dough after that fiasco.
Respectfully,
zoid

Family Guy did it and it started off very bad when it was release onto DVD. Firefly was released and has remained under 100 in the DVD sales ranks in four months. The lowest it has been is 75. In the first two and a half months it sold 200,000. If it remains at a steady sale for the rest of the year like this then I think it can. Lets not give up hope. Firefly isn't BTVS or Angel. Plus, I am now seeing it in stores that weren't selling them when they are released and most of them are in plain view next to other top selling DVDs like Sopranos or Indiania Jones sets.
Furthermore you have to understand that I think a good majority of Firefly fans aren't fans of BTVS or Angel and some have never even seen BTVS or Angel. I'm not a fan of either (I'm not saying I don't like them, just not a fan) and none of my friends and not even most of the people that I have converted at Cantr but we all love and most of us now own the Firefly DVD set and wait with our breaths holding for Serenity in 2005. Some of use even multiple copies.
Just because we think the goal maybe impossible doesn't mean we cannot accomplish it. Keep converting and bringing people into the light of Firefly. Majority of people who see it turn out to love it. There are only a few (and we have determined them insane) who didn't get it and don't seem to like it. Let them bitch and and groan but I'm sure they may take a second look once they see how much it is loved by so many. Lets make the Firefly DVD the best damn selling DVD (not DVD set but DVD) ever. Lets also make sure that Serenity is a blockbuster that will be remember for years to come. I would love to see Serenity to sink Titantic and take its place as #1 in the box office and that is my goal for Serenity.
1,000,000+ for Firefly DVDs
#1 for Serenity
Now who is with me? If we give up now then we accept defeat as inevitable. If we continue to fight then we can keep accomplishing great victories the likes of which we have already accomplished.
200,000 Firefly DVDs in 2 and half months. It must be nearing 400,000 plus in the four months.
A greenlighted Serenity movie.
A year ago these were impossible dreams and hopes. Now what you say, Browncoats? Do we continue to fight or do we surrender now to the impossible odds?
Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.
