I hope Joss can bring FF back. My take would be first-run syndication. If he can get enough oversea financing (how is the show doing oversea and Canada?)... maybe. I noticed "Starhunter" has several countries backing that show ("Starhunter" just started here in the US, but it has been on for more than two years in other countries). A lot of shows have been cancelled due to backers dropping out (last season, "Relic Hunter" and "VIP")
There's a remote chance for FF to be picked up by Sci-Fi for new episodes. They did it with "Stargate" and "Sliders." But, of course, those shows had several seasons under the belt. It was the production companies like MGM that wanted "Stargate" to continue so they could have more episodes for syndication. This is the main reason...enough episodes, better syndication, better profit. FF has only 15 episodes, just enough for Sci-Fi to show reruns as special programming.
UPN and WB. The WB may be still hard feelings toward Joss due to the problems with "Buffy" and moving it to UPN. "Angel" is under contract with the frog network.
UPN may be interested, but Paramount's main baby is "Star Trek", aka "Enterprise." That is their franchise.
Who knows? It will be hard, but I hope Joss will find another home for FF. First-run syndication would be the perfect fit...at least he would get one full season of 22 episodes (unless show really tanks in the ratings for local stations).
My thoughts from a really sad fan

I am so hoping FF will be picked up by WB or UPN, but I would be happy if it was picked up by SCi-Fi, even though my cable company is dropping that channel next month, because this show deserves another chance somewhere.

I don't care how, where, or why new episodes of Firfly are being produced. As long as there are episodes of Firefly to watch, I'll watch em. I get basic cable and a descrambler, so I get a lot of channels. And I can always (and will certianly) buy the DVD at the end of each season. It's SUCH a good show though! I've gotten 3 friends into the show...3!! If they all got 3, and their 3 got 3, that'd be a lot. Yup. So maybe one of them would have a nielson box...maybe.

The show hasn't made it to Australia yet 
so there's no way to measure how well it's doing. Plus we Aussies have no money anyway.

I have become a big fan of Firefly and like many am upset over its cancellation.I hope the show does find a home on another network,I'll watch it no matter where it goes.
