i think im gonna mail all my movie ticket stubs to fox just so they can think on that notion. "well well look at all the money we DIDNT get". Anybody else with me?



Now THAT is a great idea. Oh, and I think this is a good time to toss out my own idea for a couple of reality shows that have bouncing around in my head:

Face the Conquences: Along the lines of the Real World, Network Executives are locked in a house with a group of fans from the tv shows they cancelled.

Russian Roulette: Along the lines of the Bachlor, a man must pick from a dating pool of twenty beautiful women. He's been told that one of the ladies is a millionare, which is true. What he doesn't know is that five of the "women" used to be men, and another five still are. Any "bachlorette" that is chosen gets a cool million. Original title before the lawyers got to it: Serves You Right For Being a Gold-digging Whore

While there might be a ceratain poetic satisfaction in sending the ticket stubs to Fox, I suspect we'd do better to hold on to them, so we can send them to Universal all at once along with letters that say, "You've really got something good here. Now get it back on the air, durnit!"

Now THAT's a good idea. As much as I would like to tuck it up fux's , I would like to see Firefly fly again even more.

Viva Firefly!

Ain't complaining about the result though - yeee-HAAA!!!!!

LOVE the ticket idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have this mental image of the f*x execs opening the doors to their offices and being BURIED in Firefly ticket stubs!!

That would be the shiniest!!

Not to bring a bad cast to this, but before we get all hyped about f*x losing money, are we absolutely SURE they won't gain from this in *any* way?

Just had a thought. Does Universal now own all the television episodes too? If so, does this mean that Haken needs to revise his disclaimer?
