At this website, you can vote for TV series to come (back) to German TV. I'ts not from a TV station, but obviously used by TV stations for information purposes. Firefly was never in German TV, so if we get Firefly into the top 10 and finally getting it aired in Germany, there might be more German browncoats in the future, thus helping FOX to re-evaluate the situation...

http://www.wunschliste.de/index.pl?vote&r=09

Only one Vote per Week (more is possible, but will be seen as manipulation and thus been dismissed.)

Just for information: Angle (season 4 and 5 never aired in Germany) is at place 4, so we might finally see the whole thing over here (dang, now, that I have bought the DVDs at Amazon US!)

Thanks for everyones Help!
Esther

My lessons learned from Firefly (no. 21):
In some situations, being proper might be everything that is left. (Now this is really one to take home!)

Ok, I think I voted. I know how to sing Silent Night in German and say thank you, but that's about all. The vote button is all the way at the bottom, right?

Happy to help, it should be a UN law that countries have to air shows like firefly, why else have a TV?

I could get naked?

I'll try to bump this at least once a week (it'll help me remember what day I can vote on again, too).

So, not that anyone's really paying attention, but... vote/bump.

According to Ask.com, "to bump" is stoßen... although it's not really that reliable, and I don't know how to conjugate it. And, no, I don't know how to type that double-"s" symbol without copying it.

Okay, you scroll down until you find Firefly, and you check the box right next to it. Then, you scroll ALL the way down, and click the gray-ish box at the bottom. If you've done it right, it should direct you to a page with links to Firefly and Serenity purchasing.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately everything on German TV is dubbed! DVD/Video as well.
I've got the German Firefly Boxset and a few scenes are so poorly translated, that you don't even get the sense of it.
But usually I watch the original version.
Kicks so much more ass.

Here's the top ten shows and Firefly:

Stargate: Atlantis USA,2004 (6631) TOP 10 Platz 2
Angel - Jäger der Finsternis [Angel] USA,1999 (39785) TOP 10 Platz 3
Space 2063 [Space - Above and Beyond] USA,1995 (75669) TOP 10 Platz 4
Battlestar Galactica / Kampfstern Galactica [Battlestar Galactica] USA,2003 (14227) TOP 10 Platz 5
Die Spezialisten unterwegs [Misfits of Science] USA,1985 (68656) TOP 10 Platz 6
Zurück in die Vergangenheit [Quantum Leap] USA,1989 (63795) TOP 10 Platz 7
Die Besucher / Expedition Adam '84 [Navstevnici] CS,1981 (40278) TOP 10 Platz 8
Babylon 5 USA,1994 (31041) TOP 10 Platz 9
Time Tunnel USA,1966 (44450) TOP 10 Platz 10
~~~
Firefly * USA,2002 (14731)

I have no idea how the voting works, really - when it stops, what happens then, if there will be another survey in the future - and it's harder to accumulate votes because of the once a week rule (although if anyone has access to multiple computers, like at the library, that would be nice). It's also very difficult to tell how many shows are between Firefly and Time Tunnel, but as it's less about competing between all the shows and more about getting Firefly's vote number closer to the top 10...

Ironically, they showed the BDM yesterday on a ppv-channel. Sadly the ppv-concept is not popular here in Germany so only a few people had the actual chance to see it.

Let's hope it will eventually air on free tv as well, this could lead to a subsequent airing of the show if the "RTL groupe" is smart enough to do the math (which I doubt). They bought it as part of a larger license package - unrequested. They most likely have not the slightest idea what they are sitting on.

We still have the DVDs though.

I guess the correct expression in this case would be "hochschubsen", which means to bump something up. (hoch: up, high / schubsen: bump/push).
Nobody uses that expression, though.

For all you German Browncoats! One more vote. I will try and bump it as often as possible but no guarantees.

To all browncoats that read down this far:

ANY way of getting Firefly back on TV ANYWHERE in the world is a cause worth voting for. The more TV companies that have to get the rights for broadcast show the Sci-Fi channels just how popular it really is, and will help them to realise that it needs to be shown! So Get Voting!

PS:

Well done to YinYang for Holding! YinYang is one hell of a good Browncoat!
