Release news 3/25/2003

Okay, I just got off the phone with someone at Fox that said a "Firefly" DVD was talked about in a meeting they had today. There is no other information regarding this title available, but it IS coming. We'll keep you informed when we receive more information, but nothing more is expected for some time.

Much thanks to AKFirefly for informing me of this.

So, how much work goes into a DVD of a half season of a TV show that no one wants?

In a less snarky, bitter version: I wonder if it will have many toys on it or if it will be bare bones episodes (all of them at least)? Some writer/director commentary would be shiny. Maybe a "making of" feature.

And we can convince all of our friends to go buy them, and Fox will feel bad, and realize they were WRONG to take away our sky! "And they grew into a tree, and they all climbed up the tree into a magical land with unicorns and a harp!"

Heh. It will be good to have nice official versions though. (As much as I love my TRS80 copies.)

Gag reel! Must include high quality version of the gag reel!

Any comments/interviews with Joss(or anyone else!, not counting whats on the site) would be shiny too.

Oh, I hope so too. Maybe all the concept art, with the Serenity blue prints and Its many incarnations. Even the scripts too.

Your a very up person! Don't be so pessimistic.

does that mean i can give my dvd burner a rest now??

seriously though....i'll be first in line to buy the official set when it's available.

as pointed out above...i just hope they put effort into the production to make it a worthwhile product for a show that went 1/2 a season and didn't have all the eps shown. i'd be REALLY disappointed if i end up having done a better job than they do

Actually, I think that, given how much Joss loves Firefly, and, really, everyone loves Firefly (those involved in it & the fans), then I'd imagine he'd love to do a commentary track, or make a spiffy new making of featurette. Or at least, I darn well hope so. Stay positive. :)
And, let's face it, Joss commentary tracks are always insightful, intelligent and just damn funny! The commentary on Buffy's Hush/Restless and The Body are frickn' awesome.

Dreamn'. But hopefully some of that will be there. I mean, if they're going to cancel our show, it would be nice if they gave us the most kick-arse DVD set ever, but I don't think they're going to shell out that many discs, for, let's be realistic, a relatively small audience. In any case, you can fit four per disc. With a commentary or two. At least, that's what they did with Buffy and Angel.

it was talked about in a meeting...right.

"Oh yeah. This is gonna go great." ~ Zoe

just to put a more realistic point to it, a Beauty and the Beast movie and/or new series has been "talked about" for nigh onto 16 years with nothing to show for it.

here's my deal - all this wonderfulness y'all have tacked onto this promising sounding notice needs to be sent to the powers that be. without indication that there's a market, there won't be a DVD to get at Christmas. you want it, then start writing!

Most of the cool features at the official Firefly website would make great DVD bonus material. And, since the website info was added episode-by-episode... each individual episode on the Firefly DVD set could have it's own specific extras! (okay now I'm salivating)

Fox Home Video has an opportunity to create a truly kick ass DVD set for this show. Methinks Firefly will be more successful on DVD than it was on Fox (possibly moving the show beyond cult status even).

This can only be good for us Browncoats who want to see continuing stories in the universe of Earth-that-was!

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

This is GREAT news! I really hope that they do not back out or change their minds. Firefly on DVD would be a great and prized addition to my collection, especially if it had extras, like the much coveted gag reel.

Wonder how long it will take it to hit the market?

For any of you who haven't see the "Vote for Firefly" thread, here is the web address for TV show's on DVD. Go there, register and vote!

Just because Firefly is being considered for DVD doesn’t mean we should stop voting.

No spam. Only message I've had from them is the one we all just got about the DVD potential.

perhaps if enough people buy this DVD, FOX will realize that this show had viewers!

How many people can we get to buy this DVD?

I know I would buy at least two copies, one for myself, and one for my best friend that I hooked on the show. I have several friends that a DVD set would make good Christmas gifts for.....
