Hey, I'm new here, but wanted to drop a quick comment. I'm not sure if this bid of info is best here or on the general discussion board, but I thought I'd put it here after reading the posts about guerilla marketing and spreading the firefly word. Feel free to move if you'd like.

Not that anyone needed more reasons to get family and friends to watch Firefly, but if you didn't already know, I've got another reason.

I was at the Shore Leave Scifi convention in Baltimore, MD a couple of weeks ago when Lee Stringer was speaking. He is a FX guy that worked on Firefly, Serenity, BSG, Enterprise, and a few other Scifi shows. In between all the technical questions I asked him if there was any truth to the rumor that based on the Firefly DVD sales and how the movie Serenity does, if Firefly may get brought back to TV, similiar to what happened to Family Guy. Now the only place I've heard this little rumor would be the wishful voices in my head, but his response was, "Well, I think Joss feels that he has already done TV and been successful. He has his sights set on Movies right now. I think depending on how well the movie does and is received that he would like to do a follow up movie (sequel). Now, Universal owns the rights to Firefly and they also own Sci-Fi. As you may know Sci-Fi will be running the original episodes of the TV series soon, if they are not already. You guys don't really realize how much your feedback matters. Writing the companies doesn't always work, but if the series does well and folks make noise, it does make an impact. Sci-Fi could very easily call up Universal and ask for new episodes to the series. The only question in that case would be if Joss would be as involved in the series as he was before. So, no, there are no plans that I know of for it to come back as a TV series, but I could certainly see something like that happen.

Now, I watched the series when it was originally on FOX, but watching the DVD's again and really brought me to appreciate how well done the series was and how much I want to continue following these characters. Now, I'm not a rah-rah type guy, but I certainly plan on watching the series, telling my friends about it, and hoping like heck SCIFI channel sees something worth putting back on the air. Hey, if they can bring back Family Guy. I'd love to see this happen.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same
