I wonder if a lot of people were screening their Firefly disks for family over the holiday weekend...

:)

Just a hop and a skip til we're number 1 again!

At 12:30pm EST, Firefly is currently #2 at Amazon...right behind the 6th season of The Simpsons.

The original Star Wars trilogy is at #5.

Damn that's just so very impressive. I really wish we could find sales figures because this is just plain amazing.

The only sad thing is that this has probably made Fox view Firefly as a success for them. It just keeps rolling in the money and they haven't had to spend any on it in a long long time.

This is impressive. I wonder if some mainstream entertainment writers will notice and talk about how this 3 year old cancelled show that few people watched is climbing Amazon's chart. I have noticed the trailer on Coming Attractions on E! in two separate editions. Maybe that'll help.

C'mon Number One! We are mighty!

Not to poop on the parade, 'cause being at the top of the Amazon charts is big, however ...

Seems Amazon is the only online store where Firefly is doing well. I've checked a few others (Barnes and Noble most recently), and it seems it's never near the top or even on the list. That, or I'm looking in the wrong place. Anyone know?

Again, don't let me get you down - I'm as excited about the Amazon numbers as anyone.

As a sort of counterpoint to STP's comment, I submit today's CNN article:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/07/05/decadeofamazon.ap/index.ht
ml

An interesting excerpt from the article:
---
With $6.92 billion in sales in 2004, Amazon ranked at the top of Internet Retailer's annual top 400 list, well ahead of computer maker Dell Inc., which posted $3.25 billion in online business-to-consumer sales. Office Depot Inc., which has a partnership with Amazon, wasn't far behind with $3.1 billion.
---

So, while it is true that there are other internet retailers out there, being high up on Amazon's list does, in fact, have a rather pointed significance.

Well, it may not be as high as the sales on Amazon, but Firefly is currently #16 at BarnesandNoble.com, which is still pretty damn good in my book.

My show is too pretty to die.

This is great. I'm especially fond of the fact that it is now the #1 selling DVD on Amazon in "Science fiction/Fantasy" meaning that it is currently outselling the Star Wars trilogy DVDs. Ain't that shiny.

Although barnes and Noble is a big enough internet store to buy from, Amazon is pretty huge too. I mean I bought most of library from there, so the fact that Firefly can kick so much ass is, well, it makes me hope for a better future...

/now all we need to do is get "Dead Like Me" up there, and we're allllll set!

It's now at #2. I have to say, I'm really impressed. I mean I know it's the best show and everything, but this is huge. It's beating Seinfeld s4, and Chappelle's show s2. In my book, that makes us mighty.

And relatively steady. It hasn't been out of Amazon's top ten since the last preview screening.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Slipping a bit. As of 09:00 EST today the DVD set is at #3 behind the 5th season of the Sopranos & 6th season of the Simpsons.

Firefly DVD is currently number 3 at Deep Discount DVD.

And for those of you not familiar with deepdiscountdvd, I strongly recommend you check their prices before buying at Amazon. Not everything is cheaper there, but most stuff is. Also, there is no minimum amount for free shipping and it is wicked fast. Amazon used to be $50 minimum, but I think they lowered it to $25.

Amazon's policy states that they dont match other prices, but if you email them a link of a competitors price, and they'll think about lowering their price. I sent them a link a couple weeks ago to deepdiscountdvd telling them the price was five dollars lower and it looks like Amazon decided to match it. That's pretty cool, but I still think deepdiscountdvd deserves their props for having the lower price in the first place. Competition is such a great thing.

I had to look and Firefly is actually ranked higher in DVD-TV series sales than Desperate Houswives. That is surprising to me give how much hype Desperate Houswives gets compared to what Firefly got not to mention that they actually got a full season where Firefly got about half a season.

But keep in mind that Desperate Housewives viewers are probably more likely to buy at Wal-Mart or somewhere, and Firefly fans are more likely to buy online. And I would guess that DH is easier to find in the real world, too.

But it's still good to see Firefly up there! :)
