I'm wondering how much money it takes to put out a year of episodes. Has any production company considered selling stock in a specific show in order to get the funding to make it? Stock could be bought by fans, investment corporations, advertisers, etc. The contracts for the actors and production personnel could include stock options. Another source of revenue would be merchandising licenses. Once one starts thinking outside the box, the sky is the limit on alternative funding options.
"Firefly" has enormous potential, and could possibly be carried along by non-traditional means until it gels. No network wants to show it?--use webcasts. Once a substantial body of high-quality work is put together, a show like this would have a great deal of future value.
