Ya, I figured that was your basis... I hope that FF can return to TV in some form or another, but from all accounts it looks unlikely :( :( :(

Ah well, at least we get our BDM!

And of course, NBC did "NYPD Blues", which means nudity and adult language is not out of the question...

Sorry, NYPD Blue is on ABC and always has been.

NBC has probably scheduled fewer sf shows over the years than any of the big three original networks. It is very difficult for a genre show to get ratings high enough to stay on any of them, though. Most successful sf/horror/fantasy in the last decade has been on FOX, the WB, UPN, in syndication, or on cable.

So I'd think the SciFi Channel a much more likely part of NBC Universal to air a reborn Firefly. They also own the USA network, another possibility.

I'm with ya on all that, Cardie. Might I also add that NBC is not afraid to "graduate" its cable units' shows to the main network for promo purposes, e.g. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. There may be others. So there's always an outside chance that should FF be reborn on Scifi or USA, it could show up on the biggie -- hopefully to stay!

Oops, heh-heh. Well, it just goes to show what I think of network TV, in general; ask me what's on Discovery Science or G4 Tech, on the other hand...

Still, I knew it was one of those stations, and if one of 'em can show Jimmie Smits' skunk ass, they all can, right? Now if we can just get Joss to install a shower in Inara's shuttle...

Hygienically,
