If you want to see Firefly make it back to tv, you have to hope it is successful enough to warrant a series, but not successful enough to spawn a sequel movie. That is a very narrow range.

I am not so sure that there is this narrow range where a property like Firefly can be too successful in theatres to go back to the big screen. A successful movie will draw interest and insure ratings. Look how many movies have spin offs to TV after successful stays in the box office.

And lest we forget, Star Trek was a series, got killed, did movies, got reiterated on TV -- what? 4 additional times? With movies and TV series still in existence.

X-Files was TV, got cancelled by Fox (soft 'u' sound), got reiterated, made into a movie while still on TV.

A successful movie version of an episodic tale can boost TV profits in feedback loop with subsequent movies.

The sky's the limit, and 'they can't take that from us'...
