Believe it or not, I just received a notice in my mailbox that we were selected to be a Neilson family.

So there'll be at least one more Neilson viewer logging in for "Firefly" every frickin' time it's on the air...

I wish I could be a Nelison person. I've got a good demograph and everything!

Ok so there's a really slim chance FF will make it, but do you guys think fox'll put the 13 epis out on dvd if it does get axed?

I'm going to make it a point to not respond to anyone with "Dark Angel" in their username...

Obviously these advanced statistics and higher math aren't all they're cut out to be, huh?

It's possible to like both Dark Angel and Firefly, okay?

Don't you mean "one more Nielsen viewer and the rest of my extremely large and demographically desirable, extended family loggin in"?

Come on, man, that's just rude. You really owe DarkAngelSlayer an apology. The LAST thing we need as Firefly fans is to earn a reputation for being nasty to people -- especially those who are FANS of the show!

DarkAngelSlayer, I read someplace that Joss Whedon was talking about putting the series on DVD, but I don't know where the article is so I can't confirm whether or not that's a done deal. Maybe somebody else here knows...? (Because if it DOES happen, I'm going out and buying a DVD player now... ;) )
