Hey, there's always The Frog. They've already got a working relationship with Joss (through Angel) too, and I think Firefly would fit better there anyway--what with them actually having some good shows. (Well, okay, UPN has one. But it was stolen from WB.)

The reason for this is that advertisers want viewers whom they can easily sway to buy their products. The more thoughtful and analytical you are, the less they want you, because you don't make consumer choices based on slick advertising.

Oh yeah. That's the ticket. Let's try to get a network that has already made one seriously bad decision on probably the best sci-fi series (cancellation of Farscape) to make a decision about Firefly.

because of UPN and 20th Century Fox's critical ties, UPN was "Firefly's" best chance to survive.

I have a couple things to add here. First of all, seems to me us fans arguing about where Joss should shop the show is pretty pointless. I figure he's at least as savvy about the different networks and their interest in sci-fi as any of us. We alone are not going to get Firefly picked up by anyone. We're here to give Joss whatever juice a small and dedicated fan base can muster.

Also, TV networks are buying and selling art. Really, they really are. The fundamental reason anyone buys or passes on a work of art is simple: they like it, or they don't. Yes, they want to know that the art will sell well, but there is always risk and any network will take that risk for something they believe in. Firefly is not likely to be sold to a network as a guaranteed cash-cow. Firefly is going to be sold to a network because that network believes in Firefly. Our belief in Firefly, therefore, has some juice. We have no juice if it's a purely dollars and cents decission.

It's just my opinion, o' course, but all this arguing about where to send the show and all this cynicism about what a bunch o' morons people are is getting to me.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

So, let's find some place where we can make those mini-series or periodic tv-movies. Let's try SciFi network, if that doesn't work, maybe the BBC or Telemundo. Let's just get this done!
