Okay, here's the deal.

The last of the original 13 epidsodes is finished production tomorrow, which means the two FOX ordered today will start production on Wednesday. Now, shows like this typically take about 9 shooting days to complete which means that FOX has bought itself about 3 weeks.

If you look at FOX's air schedule for the next couple of weeks you'll notice that Firefly has two weeks off due to movies (Happy Gilmore and The Brady Bunch Goes To Hell or something). Therefor, FOX can't be looking at how the ratings are doing while these shows are being produced becasue the show isn't even on. FOX can only be looking at one thing: how the ratings do for the episode AFTER a two week hiatus. How many people will come back to the show after it has been off for so long.

There it is

Birds of Prey & Firefly (TV): The "Batman" spin-off series "Birds of Prey" has been shot down. Variety reports that The WB network is pretty much set not to order any more episodes beyond its commitment of thirteen, and in fact its still up in the air as to whether the remaining four episodes of that initial commitment will even be shot. Despite big numbers for its premiere, the show has lost nearly half its audience since then with another superhero show - "The Black Sash" - tipped to be replacing it. Meanwhile Fox has ordered two more scripts for Joss Whedon's struggling sci-fi show "Firefly", delaying the decision of its fate though many are taking this as a good sign that they'll soon order the rest for the season.

“Firefly” may finish its first season, “Birds of Prey” probably won’t, and “Angel” makes it official.

*First the good news on “Firefly," from an insider we’ll call “Gunther”:

OK, no real names please, but because of the networks enthusiasm for Ariel, both in it’s writing and the stunning visual effects work, Firefly has been given the order for production, (not just scripts,) for two more episodes, meaning the rest of the back 9, (7 more episodes,) will most likely be picked up as well… Call me Gunther!

Call me hopeful, but I like this news.

For all of you folks who are taping the show, here's an idea: Spend the next two weeks getting all your friends/family caught up on Firefly. Sit them down and make them watch. Start with the three or four excellent episodes (Out of Gas, Our Mrs. Reynolds, Ariel, Jaynestown) to get them hooked.

I can't tell you how many Buffy fans I've created just by showing people the episode "Hush" (one of the best pieces of entertainment from any medium).

The quality of the show speaks for itself... all you have to do is get your friends/family in front of the TV and press play.

If Fox ordered 2 more episodes to be produced from 3 scripts, does that mean there is still one unproduced script?

As I understand it, "Dead or Alive", linked above is the last script. I have heard a rumor that 2 extra scripts were ordered up prior to cancellations, but cannot confirm

Damn, I didn't read the date on this thread. It must be too early in the morning, but I thought for a minute this was current news. I freaked out for a second until I realized the truth.

Aww! Just noticed the date after reading heaps of promising threads...

I INSIST! Firefly is the best damn show ive ever seen. I am lucky being one of probably only a handful of Aussies to have seen it.

I Was browsin the web one day and found an obscure reference to the show and after a little more research was able to download every ep. Its never been shown here!

Does anyone realistically think it will ever return to production? cause I really need it!

I believe 3 extra episodes have been made but not aired is this true? When will we get them?

Mal - this money is burning a hole in my hole.
