Anyone heard anything about it being aired on TV? A while back I heard that Channel 7 had the rights to air the show, but I don't know how reliable that info was.

I have this crazy hope that once Angel finishes they'll put Firefly into its timeslot, (or a better one - though I'm not sanguine about that).

Jayne, you're scaring the women.

We might get to see it on channel 7 or Foxtell, though normally it would be shown on TV before it gets released on DVD. Chances are that if it gets shown on TV it will be on Foxtell. Channel 7 might show it at the end of the year, or over the Christmas holidays, or early next year as a lead up to the movie release, though the longer Channel 7 takes to show it the less likely it will be shown and they must have had it for over a year already.

I must say that only being able to watch Firefly on DVD does make it kind of extra special.

Yeh I agree I think its more likely it will JUST be on Foxtel. Its doubtful it will make it to any of the networks. Then again, never say never.

Lol VeraCobb I just realised that my DVD actually IS an American version. What tipped me off? Why, the FBI warning as soon as you put the DVD in!

I cant believe so many Aussie fans dont have the DVD set yet!

I'm at Newcastle, NSW, I got my set from America at the same time it was released over there. Its SWEET! especially after watchin the crappy quality kazaa downloads for so long.

I just pre-ordered my set from Video Ezy online today for $56.95 (free postage, too!) which I thought was a pretty good deal. Luckily they take cheques, cos I don't have a credit card. That was why I didn't order it from Amazon earlier - also my dvd player won't handle region 1.

Veracobb - I'm in Mandurah for a few months while I decide where I'm gonna lay my hat. Luckily I'm a writer so where my laptop goes, the work goes.

Just thinking re: screening of Firefly on TV - it might be one of those things they trot out during the Summer non-ratings period.
But - if channel 10 can screen Jake 2.0 when that's been cancelled, then I suppose the networks aren't always scared off by cancelled shows....

Being able to watch it only on DVD may be special, but it means that the number of people that get to see it will be significantly less. That means less Browncoats and less worshipers of Joss. :dissapointed:

VideoEzy have it for $65?! Ooh - I must go tell all my friends! Then they can get their own copies and stop borrowing mine.

A few years back Ch 10 showed Gross Point as well, which was also a cancelled series. Does Channel 7 have the guts to do the same though?
I agree that if they ever do show it, it's likely to be over the non-ratings period, or maybe they'll make a big event out of it and show it after the movie has been released...
