This does sound like a good idea, this does have to be a grassroots movement. Browncoats from everywhere will have to participate and it does be highly organized. Blue gloves with note with "Can't stop the signal" very good. Keep us posted, I'm in too.

Same here...
Didn't have time to watch when it was on the air, but my son just gave my daughter a complete set and we've watched 3-4 episodes a night, in complete bewilderment at how this show could ever end.
Why doesn't SyFy pick it up? Fox is too mainstream...too wimpy to do the right thing and resurrect FF, which kicks the butt of every current show on that network. 
Whatever works...mOm

We're new, complete FireFly fanatics, and want to help in any way we can.
Why isn't this show on SyFy? It's light years beyond any of their current line up.

Couple answers:
1) Firefly is not even remotely mainstream. It's story and character based and there are story arches that are there for the long haul. Shows like that get killed today and its been like that for some time.
2) Sci-Fi didn't pick it up when it was cancelled because they didn't have the money; it was tied up in other shows (I believe Andromeda was one of them).
3) It won't be resurrected (mainly) because there isn't a guaranteed return on investment, an extremely high up front cost (sets, etc) not to mention the actors being involved in other projects.
4) The show has been on regularly on Sci-Fi (and Space, and ...) in re-runs. Same with the movie.
5) There is no way to help that will get the show back (see (3)). If you want to help out the community, create some content. I've posted ideas around this site on many occasions. So, the archive is your friend if you're willing to do something. Here's a search:

I am on The Original List (twice). We are The Forsaken and we aim to burn!

I wouldn't say no way for it to reboot. Maybe no way with the original cast and all the original writers. The following question would be - Will it be good?
Let's say it will be.
I believe in this day and age with the large and dedicated following Firefly has, it could be resurrected and be very viable financially. Some of the cutting edge film people have employed swarm/crowd funding, pre-sales of DVD before the product is made, merchandise funding, etc. Unfortunately Hollywood lives in the dark ages when it comes to this stuff.
How many Browncoats would buy a $40 t-shirt that said 'Firefly: Crew Season 2 Episode 1' ?
How many would pre-order a special edition DVD for $100 before the episode is even shot?
How many would give $150 to be listed on the credits of the episode?
How many would give $300 to be an extra on the set?
Would a few pay $1000 to get in a gun fight side by side with Mal?
Would a pretty little lady pay $2000 to beat Jayne in a bar fight?
These are similar to some of the techniques that indie filmmakers are using.
Only 20,000 dedicated fans are needed to make it work. Unfortunately, as I wrote above, the execs are still reading by incandescent lights.

I would...

YES!!!
Excellent points...I would give blood, sell my car, sell a kidney; whatever it took to see a Serenity prequel or new episodes.
Some creative, brilliant person will think of a way to open the door...and to convince Joss that reviving FF would be a service to humanity, in the name of intelligent television programming.
Whatever works...

One of my plans after I get 'strange frame' done is to get a meeting with Joss. I don't have enough street cred to be effective yet.
