Yes, that's right: The BDM will be making it's Standard Cable Television Debut on the SciFi Channel this coming January. The 3rd to be exact, a Saturday, at 9pm EST.
We need to make this an EVENT, a cause for Celebration. I would like to recommend that both Individual Browncoats and Organized Browncoat Groups take the time to organize Shindigs, Home Viewing Parties, Public Screenings, Charity Events... whatever will draw people's attention to the Film.
Let's give SciFi the highest Saturday Night Ratings they've ever had! (It won't be hard; Have you SEEN the crap they usually Air on Saturdays?!? lol)
The important thing here is to let the uninitiated know it's going to be on. This is a golden opportunity to expand the Fan Base. It might also, hopefully, revive some of the enthusiasm that's been missing for awhile.
For my part, I have rented a Screening Room at The Cinemat in Bloomington Indiana for that evening. It's a video store, and the room seats 70. Any and all Area SereniFly Fans are invited to attend... for FREE! There will be snacks, popcorn, drinks and Beer for sale at the concession stand. We're talking a great time, with people who share our passion. That is an example of what could be done. 
After the BDM has been broadcast, another simple thing to do would be to say Thank You. Just e-mail SciFi at feedback@scifi.com and tell them you watched, and appreciated them showing the Best Movie Ever!

That's right, NCBrowncoat, and it's incredibly simple. Just watch the BDM on SciFi, and urge others to do the same.
No need for a central organization, or a coordinated letter campaign. Just act Locally, and we can achieve great things Nationally. -And at the very least, have a fun time!

Thank you, Co-Piloter
There are so many things folks can do to spread the word and celebrate this. Everything from getting your local Bar to Air it and throw a party, to having small Shindigs at home with a few friends and some good food and beverages.
-And celebrate we should. Our BDM has had an incredible run on DVD, selling a phenomenal number of Copies in the 3 years it has been out. It's had a long run on HBO, and now it's finally on "commercial" Cable. The number of potential viewers is limited only to how many Browncoats want to watch it, and to the number of folks we can convince to tune in.
So, a huge "Xie-xie" in advance to any and all of us as take the time to enjoy our favorite BDM on the 3rd.

Absolutely great news! Thanks for the heads up TDBrown. I will spread the word to everyone who will listen.
Good idea about e-mailing Sci-Fi Channel to thank them. I believe if we are relentless we'll get a BDS. Someone, somewhere will sit up and take notice our BDH get love for all over the world, all this 6 years after the fact.
Impossible ain't got a chance!
Tawabawho?
