Wow, sevenpercent, that's a huge concession...More than I think I could ever stomach. You are so brave. 
UPN won't take Firefly, though. Why? It's not "safe television". It's not a tried and true formula that will at least make solid middle-of-the-road ratings. That's basically the only kind of programming UPN wants, which is why they have nothing interesting to offer a viewer with an IQ over 75.

sorry to maybe bust a bubble, but i'm sure most of you know UPN will never show this show.
why? it's not a big ratings getter to them, they'll go by what fox said etc, and it's far too expensive to take a risk on.
ENT is getting better, which is a good thing for it, but i personally think Star Trek will survive better if moved of a network and moved into cable tv or synidcation. that's where it's thrived in the past, that's where it's best kept. Firefly would probably also do much better ther e(look at adromeda and mutant x getting good ratings in syndication)
The sci fi channel wont buy firefly either (despite showing it in the uk and it getting very good ratings for the channel over here) the sci fi channel already has a lot on it's plate. Stargate sg-1, stargate: Atlantis, Battlestar galatcia, developing a new series of quantum leap (yay) amongst other things.

Quantum Leap is being revived as a telefilm in 2004/2005 by the Sci-Fi Channel. It was announced in July 2002 by Bonnie Hammer.
It is now known that the film will be called Quantum Leap: A Bold Leap Forward. The writers are Donald P. Bellisario and Trey Callaway (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer). They are also both the executive producer of the film.
If the telefilm is received well, then that will open the doors to the long awaited sixth season of Quantum Leap.
PLOT SUMMARY from IMDB.com....
Quote:
"Twenty years after the original series left Dr. Sam Beckett "leaping" into the great unknown, Sam is finally reunited with Al, his old mentor and "partner in time." But when circumstances beyond their control send Sam away once more, Al must recruit his lost friend's daughter to pick up where her father left off and hopefully help find Sam again in the process."
Keep Flying!
