Dude, it's Joss. Can we really believe anything he says?

Oh yeah, I was upset as well. I know he was burned by FOX, but to just abandon the whole concept of it returning to TV because of one cancellation didn't seem his style. When the movie turns out huge, and he is given the chance to return to series form, I hope he reconsiders.
The more I think about this whole 3 movies only, the more desperately I want it to return to TV. Quite honestly, a movie is just a movie no matter how powerful it is. I used to think film was the best medium for a Drama, until Joss turned that upside down with Buffy. I just hope he can get me interested in movies again. Maybe after watching Serenity I will admit I was wrong, and eagerly anticipate the next 2 films.

It's strange you should mention Family Guy... When I first read that they were bringing FG back, I saw hope. My first thought was: "What about Firefly?"

I believe FG may actually be the key to whether Firefly comes back or not!

It's pretty rare for people like Fox to go back and reinstate a show that they've cancelled. It just about never happens. However... With FG, it was a similar situation as it is for us. The studio hated Family Guy, but the fans loved it. After it was cancelled, the fans kept wanting more of it, and when the DVD sets were released, they sold like hot cakes...

Sound familiar?

Could it be that they're using FG as a "test case"? Could it be that Fox are finally getting the message that it might be worth letting a show find it's legs before cancelling it on a whim?

Maybe, or maybe not... But there's no downside to supporting Family Guy, too...

I say it doesn't really matter now anyway. Because low and behold, just as it happened with Stargate it appears that the Sci-Fi channel has picked up Firefly (first airing at 7:00 PM Friday the 22 of July 2005). My sci-fi friday is finally complete. I feel whole again. (LOL)

I say give Fox a chance! Now that they have ALMOST messed up they might be a lot more amenable to provisions in everyone contract. That includes any Joss and the Actors have with the show.

Yes friends, I said “almost”. The movie is scoring well with the rabid fans and the word of mouth. Certainly well enough for Fox to know they Fux'ed up a good thing. After the BDM brings in the huge dollars then we can all take good long look DOWN at the Fox and say with final and everlasting confidence, “Shame on you!”.

I already know Fox made a mistake by not paying attention to a golden property. But even if they did make a mistake, having Firefly TV episodes/specials/mini-series in between major motion pictures would be nice.

The motion pictures can be for the lush grand fantasies we all enjoy.

The TV plays can be for the character and 'verse developments we all still want to have in-between the grand adventures.

Who knows? Maybe by the time Serenity VI hits the theaters we'll have been taken on such a ride by Joss and Crew that all of us will be begging Joss to give a silver bullet the Reaver that was Mal. And who better to deliver the bullet than River?
