If you want to hear how difficult Fox is to work with, talk to Matt Groening. Or watch any episode of the Simpsons in the last few years. [Especially the last season]. Groening just has enough power that he can get away with it :).

First of all, it's "gorram fox." Note the lack of capitalization, indicating my extreme lack of respect for this gorram network.

Second, if they do anything at all with Firefly (unlikely, but I remain hopeful) I would think it would happen after the movie results are in.

At the San Diego Comic-Con, Tim Minear mentioned that a big part of the reason Wonderfalls was cancelled was that the head exec(s) of Fox wanted to change the direction of the network and make it 'more mainstream'. Of course, even if they were willing to air FF again, why should we trust a network who shows crap like The Swan and Fox News?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

I saw the commercial last night for it on fox.

Yes, I still watch some shows, and, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've been watching Trading Spouses.

It's absolutely hilarious! Man! The snobs they get on that show! Next week the Daddies get switched...

More "mainstream" means more reality shows. They may as well go ahead & make the change official; drop the Fox & rename themselves the "Reality Network". Their slogan can be "Mindless garbage for the masses!"

Someday there will be a TV network that cares about making quality shows and telling well written stories, instead of just getting ratings. Let's hope that day comes soon.

Now, now - remember that Patience shot Mal in the back, and he still went back to her :)

"She shot you, sir." (do I have that right?)

Can anyone find a link with the official sales numbers for Firefly?

Need to shut some arrogant [chinese slur] up who looks down upon Firefly yet is a pro-active X-files fan (so if the sales figures for any of those dvd sets are easy to find I'll gladly use them :)).

Family Guy's DVD sales puts Firefly's to shame so I doubt FOX would bring Firefly back when it's "only" sold 300,000. Personally I don't want Firefly back on TV, I want movies. I now think of Firefly as just one long prologue to the Serenity saga rather than a short lived TV series.
