Because maybe Firefly's failure to keep Fox happy was due to it being broadcast on the Sci Fi channel. This is from what I've been told/ready, but not everyone can access that channel. I am a great fan of firefly, hate the fact it was canceled.. but at the time of it's broad cast never even knew about it.
I only heard about it after my dad mentioned Serenity after I was in a sci-fi mood in 2006.

CaptainJosh06... Firefly was originally broadcast on the Fox channel itself. It was pre-empted by baseball, the order of the eps were moved around and it was canceled early and harshly by Fox.
Joss shopped it to the SciFi Channel which didn't buy it. This all happened a number of years ago now...
The SciFi Channel, being a subsidiary of NBC/Universal ( who made the movie Serenity ) has the rights to show the Firefly eps now.
They just got done having a marathon last Friday. There's another one this month I believe.
Firefly returning to Skiffy ( the SciFi channel ) in full brand new eps would be awesome news, but highly unlikely - sadly enough. A movie with Universal is also highly unlikely at this point although as SigmaNunki said, Joss would do it if offered a deal.
