Hello all,
I have heard several times in various places that one of the obstacles to Firefly returning to tv is that the rights are held by Fox. This is mentioned so many times that it has become a mantra to some people. However, I am confused - is the tv rights held by Fox (the tv network) or by FOX (the production company)? If it is FOX, then shouldn't they be willing to produce a new series for any network that is willing to put up the pennies?

Yes, I would think so. It's the production company, as far as I know, and they also did deals with the WB and UPN for Buffy and Angel.

Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl. 'Cause I don't think that's ever getting old.

I didn't know there was a one word difference.

I thought Fox was the TV network and 20th (I'm pretty sure they changed it to 21st) century Fox is the Film company.
