I think it would be a great addition to their stable. They picked up Stargate:SG1 and look at the following it has.

I agree, i mean they recently even picked up Andromeda why not Firefly too. They have problems too though. They cancelled Farscape which is a hell of a show. Lately they have been airing some strange shows too but oh well. Hopefully they will pick it up.

I've been wondering who's been hiring all the idiot FOX TV executives that actually get fired...
Judging by the inclusion of all the stupid reptile movies, "Tripping The Rift", and "Mad, Mad House", SciFi must be snatching them all off the unemployment line 
They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....
Oh yeah, 
you, FOX TV!!

I remember reading that the Sci-fi channel wanted to broaden their scope and move away from spaceship style science fiction. Plus, "Firefly" would make the rest of their line-up look like a steaming pile of dog crap in comparison.
I'd rather see HBO or Showtime pick it up.

You're right the premium channels would probably do a much better job, but then I'd have to pickup those channels. Probably double my cable bill in the process.

Heh, yeah. I don't even have cable. I'd find some way to watch the episodes. Wouldn't you rather see Whedon and crew have the artistic freedom that the premium cable networks allow?

Firefly on Showtime....with naked Kaylee and Inara....*happy place*
Um. Anyway, I'd love for Scifi to pick it up, but it wouldn't be realistic to expect it any time soon. Maybe after the movie-----particularly if the new BSG series doesn't do so well.
Right now, Scifi is pretty much fully-loaded with BSG, SG1 season 8, and SGA.

SciFi is a channel I used to INSIST on having - now I NEVER watch it. I keep an eye out for something new, but it's all crap.
I TRY.. oh, I really, really TRIED.. to like SG-1. I like the actors. I ADORE Dean and Roland (ok, so yeah, they didn't make the TV show, just the movie, but still..)
But now. I just.. I hate it. It's so dumb.. boring.. and no matter how I try, I can't make myself LIKE it.
Now I wait for Tru Calling to canceled, and try to console myself waiting for CSI on thursdays.. spending the rest of my week watching Deadwood and waiting for Carnivale...
Keep Flyin'..

^Dumb in what way? It doesn't always take itself seriously, its true, but its still more intelligent than some of the Trek series.
Although its true that season 7 was been a bit on the dull side.

I've wondered that since the show went into hiatus, which always means death. When TNN changed to Spike TV, I went to their website and emphatically begged them to pick up Firefly, but did they? Noooooo. Probably kicking themselves in the asses now for it. If any network exec's assistants are reading thing, ITS NOT TOO LATE. Well, here's to hoping.
