Okay, in my opinion if every Buffy fan tunes in for the first episode, Firefly has got a chance. Fans already know how Joss Whedon's brain works and if FOX and everyone else has faith in him as a storyteller, then hopefully Firefly will make it to a second season.
And why let other people tell us what to think? So the reviews have been a little lukewarm. So what. Personally, I want to see it first before I decide not to like it.

Take pity on an ignorant foreigner and explain how the baseball strike will be bad for Firefly. I don't see the connection.

I dont want Firefly to loose, but come on, we cant kid ourselves here.
What exactly is it that makes you so certain that Firefly has no chance? Seems a little arrogant to me to think you have that kind of absolute foresight.

I would think a baseball strike would prevent Firefly from being preempted in favor of playoff games, which would be good for the show, not bad. Playoff and World Series games would give Fox a larger platform for promoting the show, but I'm not sure how helpful that would be compared to allowing it to run in the same timeslot six or seven weeks in a row.

Wow, no wonder none of you work in telelvision. FOX uses basebasll to promote the fall shows, and FOX has already stated that in the event of a strike, Firefly & John Doe will NOT be seen in September and hold out til late November at least, plus cause more pre emptions when its on.
By the Way, how could Buffy fans alone support the show? Look at X-Files fans, did Millenium work? Did Harsh Realm work? Did The Lone Gunmen work? No. Buffy fans only tune into buffy 4.4 million a week. Even double that Firefly will be cancelled.
Why are you all attacking me? I'm on your side. You cant attack your own side. And we all know it wont last year and years and years. It would have to at least change timeslot, but there is no where to move.
If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

Umm.. could you please point me to the source you found the information that Fox would move Firefly if baseball goes on strike. You just *can't* hold back a fall line-up that long for several reasons. #1, they would have nothing else to show, and dead air just doesn't go over like it used to. #2, they would lose out on *tons* of money from advertisers already interested in Firefly and John Doe. #3, many viewers will have found alternative programing in that time slot by November, thus Fox loses viewers and therefore loses money.
I'm sorry, you're also wrong about the Firefly/John Doe advertisements. A.) Firefly has been getting far more ad time on Fox, with as many as three ads being shown during American Idol. Firefly has also released at least 6 different ads. John Doe has released three ads, all of which get less airtime than Firefly. B.) Firefly has been advertised extensively on... you guessed it... FX. The ads are shown numerous times throughout the day, and are shown at least once during each episode of Buffy. C.) Firefly has recieved lots of press. John Doe has not. Even if the press is bad, people will tune in out of curiosity. If it's a good show, they'll continue to watch.

Obviously you're wrong... people can attack their own side. To rule out that possibility displays your own ignorance.
We aren't attacking you, but if we were it's because you are not making sense at all. You're spouting off things about which you know nothing, and insulting those who are trying to understand your comments. This is trend with you, FF. Stop trying to play the victim... or don't.

You better watch it with the political insults, buddy. Nothing polarizes you from the rest of the group faster than conflicting political ideals, not to mention ideals fueled by false information. I'd watch what you say in future posts... but that's just my advice.
