You are right, Dog, what it means is that it's now relicensed for SciFi UK to play the old eps in their line up. Our SciFi channel here in the US is already licensed to do that.

However the key word in that article is what Kaele pointed out in another thread...."primetime". That's the ticket to new recruits IMHO and that can only be good.

And we'll take good however we can get it!

Soooo, I don't know if y'all know this or not, but UPN and the WB or merging this year becoming a new network called CW. This means that very few exsisting shows on those networks will be picked up for CW. In an online interview somewhere...(can't remember exactly where I saw it) there's talk that Joss Whedon might just be able to bring Firefly back on that network! Again, this is just a rumor and not announced news or anything so don't go all crazy, but it is words of incouragement for our cause!!!

I wasn't around the 'verse back when the BDM was being made, but I've heard that there were similar denials back then, too.

Any longtime browncoats like to confirm or deny that? It would be real shiny to have a link to Joss saying "No, there's no Firefly movie in the works" to point people to when they bring up that "debunking"...

Why can't SciFi just get Joss to countinue. Give him a whole bunch of money and he may be willing.

That was a long time ago, and with the success of Battlestar Galactica, and so many other drama-driven shows becoming popular again, this shiny little 'verse just might be the answer!

Just wait until the slated live action TV show for "Star Wars" comes out next year, networks are gonna be looking for anything to try to capitalize, and follow the trend.

Just for nitpicking-

SG-1 was originally on Showtime which makes showing the first seasons problematic on basic cable without some editing...

I think part of the problem with getting another series/film or whatever is money, the moneymen see the series as a failure and the movie didn't do well enough at the box office to set their cash alarms ringing. Now we know that DVD sales of both the series and the movie have been very good and we also know that other genre channels are going to show Firefly (hopefully in the correct order and in widescreen - waiting on a confirmation from SciFi UK on that) what we need is to expand the audience from the existing fanbase, so it's little use posting in existing Browncoat forums or Science Fiction boards (but hit them too) we need to hit as many non genre sites as possible, expect rejection and scorn when you do but don't rise to it - point the people to the many sites that host extracts and trailers from the series, whet their appetites with quotes and story lines, find the similaritys between the series and classic TV/Movies - I'd suggest fly posting adverts if that wasn't illegal, just get non-fans attention and after the shows have aired hit the websites and feedback the pleasure you had seeing the episode, hit the websites of the advertisers and thank them for supporting the show, assure them that you'll buy their product, ask them if they produce Firefly merchandise, if they don't ask them why not - ANYTHING THAT SETS OFF THE CASH ALARMS. Remember these people aren't fans of anything execpt money - hit publishers websites asking if they have any Firefly productions in the pipeline - if not why not. You all get the picture and it costs us nothing but time and typing. Hit the chat show websites and ask them if they plan to interview the cast (don't specify them as Firefly cast members, just say you saw them on a website video - links to convention appearences will help, and they were incredibly entertaining)

ANYTHING THAT GETS A COMPANY RESEARCHER WONDERING WHAT THIS FIREFLY THING IS ALL ABOUT IS GOOD.
