One more time . . . FOX [the network] does not own the tv rights. 20th Century Fox [the producing studio] owns the rights. If they wanted to start production of Firefly for tv and show the series on ABC, TNT, SciFi or anywhere else they could, providing that network wanted the show. That can only happen if the contract between ME, 20th and Universal is renegotiated, however, because that contract forbade any return of Firefly to tv while Universal has the option for the three-picture feature deal.
So forget FOX already. There's no requirement that they have anything to do with a return of Firefly to television.

Personally, I have given up on any hope of Firefly returning to the TV. The best we can hope for is the BDM trilogy, I think.

Would it be possible to have the tv series called Serenity.. after the movies, and get around the rights issue?
