Don't squat with your spurs on.

I just saw a trailer for Firefly on SCIFI. It looked great. I wish the ads on FUX had been half as good. But I still had to wonder why it took so long for them to start advertising it.

I have a theory about that! I'm thinking that they'll promote Firefly as little as possible. Then if they still get good ratings, they'll know that the fans 'guerilla marketing' is working, and NOT promote Serenity as much as they might have! Or maybe I'm overestimating 'Versal.

Gorilla or guerilla?

Either way it's spelled, it seems to work.

Doh!

I heard about the airings, but have yet to see a trailer. When's a good time to catch them?

I mean, assuming that I'm a movie snob and refuse to sit through made-for-scifi flicks like "Return of the Alien Snakehead Terror?"

Not that I am, or anything.

You saw the commercial for Firefly on Sci-fi??? Gorram it! I haven't seen it. All I have been seeing is the new season of Ghost Hunters. Grr...argh.

I just watched 2 episodes of "Tripping the Rift" in a row, one of the few sci-fi shows I can stand.... in 60 minutes I saw ONE Firefly promo. It was freakin' sweet though.

"... Now, they're just as brave. But a lot less noble."

Mal: Someome tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back!

After that was "Scare Tactics," and I saw no reason to suffer through that, even for something as great as Firefly.

Props to the promo dept, though. And how.

Don't underestimate the usefulness of gorilla marketing. An 800-pound ape can be mighty persuasive when he wants to be.

Hey now, that's no way to talk about SG-1.

I had taken a day off to wait for a repair man. And saw the first few ads during Sliders.
