Not to be nitpicky but....

The original had 2 episodes for the mini-series, 3 for the Final Battle and 19 for the following series. That makes 24 in total.
The new series has 12 episodes once it's current run is finished (4 last year, 8 this year).
The original had twice as many episodes. So sorry but the new series hasn't lasted much, much longer. At least so far it hasn't. If it does get a second series then things may differ.

As for Firefly I will always hope that the story continues in some form, at some time. I want more TV episodes. I'd be very esctatic with more movies (even DTV). I'd be fine with an animated version (provided they could get the original cast to do voices). I don't really want comics as I don't read them anymore, but even that would do.

As people say. You never know.

I didn't know that V the orginal series was on that long.

Firefly was never given a chance to thrive (when it was still on Fox.) Before Fox even aired the show, it was being treated like the unwanted red-headed stepchild chained up and locked in the basement. Curses upon the power that were at Fox at the time(the ones responsible for Firefly being cancelled.)

Hope and faith will keep Browncoats going and going(like the Energizer Bunny), we will not go down without a fight(for Firefly, in whatever form it takes.)

Part of the problem with Firefly was cost per episode versus return. Joss was offered a chance to continue the show at half the budget.

CG and compositing was a good sized chunk of the high cost which is falling quickly.

I think the biggest hurdle is whether Joss and his crew of writers (many of which currently work on Castle) could be lured back to work on a show with a smaller budget. Not likely. Maybe Joss might be interested...but it takes a village to sing the Hero of Canton.

I personally now know that most of the cast are surprisingly open to casting on small projects. Can't tell you how I know just yet, but let's say they are busy, but willing.

With considering cost and other things involved with the making of a series sci-fi or otherwise is always forefront, as well as whether the former cast would consider doing Firefly again. It sounds as if the former cast members are open to doing the series again. This is good, hope does spring eternal. Browncoats forever on this.

Long live Cap'n Mal and co.
