i haven't read too many waves from other browncoats writing about letters they've sent to networks and tv studios about bringing firefly back to the airwaves. are we pinning all our hopes to an iffy movie coming out of universal studios? what if this falls through? i think we should ban together and double our efforts and innundate studios/networks with MORE correspondence than ever! is there a way for fans to petition this with the help of joss and the cast and crew of firefly? i, myself, have written to scifi,universal,upn,wb,etc. i don't think that dvd sales alone are enough to assure the hollywood money people that firefly is a good investment! i think we should continue to stand up and represent our fan interest as well, now more than ever! BROWNCOATS UNITE!!!
LETS MAKE 2004 THE YEAR FIREFLY RETURNS! (signed as always, a loyal browncoat)

there is a petition site, that you can get people to sign, and send it off as one big package to Fox and such. Or maybe start one here. Just make sure those blue-handed Fox execs get it.
Here is my signature-ish thing if you start a petition:
Name: Teela Brown (I might offer my real name, but not now)
Reason: BRING BACK FIREFLY!!!
Comments: "I don't give half a hump whether you're guilty or not. You're going to burn in that very special level of hell. A place reserved for network executives who cancel intelligent shows and instead embrace ben-dan go-se reality programming." (Sorry, Zaphod, I had to.)
YOU CAN'T TAKE THE SKY FROM US!!!!!
Well, that is that. I hope you do start a petition, and I'm not kidding when I say I will sign it like that. Any way, Keep flyin'!

Get the Gorram petition going and i'll get 50 people to sign it over here in Australia where Firefly has never been aired. Everyone (and I mean everyone) I have shown the show to has been absolutely amazed that this show could be cancelled while all the other TRIPE stays on air....

Hey Calhoun,
I am not ever sure if we had anything to do with it, but a bunch of us Canadians did an E-mail campaign to get our Sci-Fi channel, the Space Channel to air Firefly. I recieved an Email back saying they could not comment on their scheduling, but my input was welcome and would be considered. Then sure enough, Firefly was in the Fall Schedule unairred eps and all, Mondays at 7PM,8PM,9PM depending on your timezone ( better timeslot than Fox gave it )
I recall a post saying that in Brazil there is a strong fan base as well. perhaps you guys can get a local network to air it, more browncoats for the cause.
Good Luck

Whoa--do we really want to be petitioning FOX on this? Not only did they kill "Firefly" after apparently never understanding it or supporting Joss's vision, but one gets the definite sense that Joss is not feelin' too kindly towards that network and wouldn't much want to take the series back there.
It would make much more sense to target a network that would support the show. Just as Joss moved "Buffy" over after FOX killed it, we should consider a move. (Of course, this assumes that FOX either doesn't have the rights, or has them and is willing to sell them for a price that another network is willing to pay.)
If Universal is interested in the movie, maybe they would also buy a series. I don't know if that studio does make TV shows--does anyone? I gather that the show was pretty expensive to make, which may be why it didn't get shopped to the SciFi Channel in the U.S., as their budget isn't exactly equally to that of big studios and networks like FOX.
It would be great if Joss would give us feedback on where he thinks the show would take hold--although one must assume that if there were a network he thought would buy it, he'd already have been in talks with them. He's said that he's spent every day of his life since cancellation trying to keep the show alive. . . .

I've signed on-line petitions before. I'm not sure how well they work but it's worth a try. As for Fox cancelling Firefly...well, I guess I'm sorta used to it by now. My favorite show of all time was cancelled in 1978...Battlestar Galactica, then the networks had to go and ruin the original concept of the show by "re-imagining" it. Let's hope that doesn't happen to Firefly 25 years from now.
The best bet is to try and get ahold of the networks in any possible way to convince them to pick the show.

Leeh- how about we send one to Fox, to rub it in their face to show what they missed out on, and then send the others to other willing clients or T.V. stations. Or, if we happen to get some one else to pick it up, then we send it to Fox to show what us browncoats can do.

Heya Ginobiffaroni,
Sounds like a plan!
I'll give it a shot though I dont envisage much success, I have already asked my video rental stores to get it and they can find no reference to it in any of their ordering catalogues..not surprising considering Firefly DVD's only come in region 1. Still..
Later.

Errr...Leeh, if I remember rightly Fox never had Buffy. It went from the WB to UPN. WB wanted it back but lost a bidding war after season 5. Not at all like Firefly's story: different network, not exactly a success.

Ohmigod, I didn't mean THOSE shows! I'm a Buffy fan myself, and like Angel as well. I meant all the NON-Joss stuff, basically--the formulaic sitcoms and tired dramas that seem like rehashes of rehashes of rehashes. It's hard to imagine a FF fan who isn't at least appreciative of Buffy and Angel, since they have his signature intelligence and wit. I guess I should give the WB credit for letting Angel live, while FOX killed FF so quickly, huh?

Well... after Fox canceled the show, there were postcard and petition campaigns directed toward WB, UPN and the Sci Fi Channel. All three networks passed on it, obviously.
The pre-cancellation letter writing campaign to Fox DID result in the DVD set eventually being produced.
With the success of the show in the UK (and online) and since the DVD appears to be more successful than anyone hoped... I wonder if WB, UPN or Sci Fi would be more willing to listen to the browncoats and bring the show back.
Perhaps the launching of another campaign is in order.

Hmmm... let's look at some non-Jos shows. Did you think X Files was tired? Especially the first few seasons? That was Fox if I remember rightly. Seven Days had a pretty good run. Wasn't that UPN?

I recently just finished watching Firefly on DVD, since I was not fortunate engough to see it on TV when originaly aired. It took all of 5 day, and that was because I was trying to make it last. By the end the 2 hour movie I was hooked. The people at FOX should be shot. What a crime to end this show so fast. Lets make sure that Joss doesn't give up on Firefly. Its too good to just let go.
I can only describe the loss I felt after viewing the last episode as like a person newly in love watching there new love get hit by a bus.
This is one loss I'll never get over.

I know what you mean about wanting to make it last. I got the DVD set and haven't watched it yet! I got it before I even had a DVD player!
I'm trying hard to ration myself.
I stumbled onto Firefly when it aired on the Space channel, and not knowing that they'd already cancelled the show, I fell in love with it after the first episode I watched (don't remember which one).
Now I want to savour it until the movie comes out ;).

Damn shame this show got cancelled - just viewed the DVDs and am waiting to see the flick. I was blown away and have been scouring the net for facts regarding the story's future.
Any news of the sci-fi channel showing an interest in resurrecting the series?
Sci-fi has resuscitated both Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica. Seems logical to assume Firefly could find a home there; with a decent time-slot to expand viewer base.
I know the box office draw has been less than inspiring and well below goal, so hope for a sequel is floundering.

-----------------------------------------------
After seeing Serenity repeatedly, I am convinced the only way to truly keep the Firefly 'verse alive is as an episodic television show. The heart of Firefly was in its pace, its character development, its charm, if you will. The slow moments, the magic moments, the humorous moments gave the show balance and were what captivated and created its avid audience. Movies, issued every 2-3 years, determined to be "epic," forced to focus on the "high" points and on dramatic action, lose this heart, lose the spirit of Firefly.
Consider the legacy of Trek. While Firefly is in many ways a reaction to/against Trek, it also, as is always the case in art, stands on the shoulders of its predecessor. A new vision, ahead of its time, created by one determined person's vision, misunderstood, mishandled, and, thus, aborted. Only to be kept alive and reborn at the insistence of a passionate (read, obsessed) following. With what results? Five television series, totalling over twenty years of episodes. Ten films (by my count, off the top of my head - I'm sure hairs can be split, here, if you must). An entire subculture, with references that permeate the culture, writ large.
Can we not do this? Can we not use the incredible success and longevity of Trek as credentials of a sort?
(I am not seeking to start a discussion of Wwhat fans think of Trek. I am very excited about Firefly, obviously, as a refreshing alternative to the Trekian 'verse. I just wish to not forget the lessons of history. Our history.)
What are our numbers, exactly? I have purchased the DVD set, and three tickets, so far, to Serenity. I have not yet joined clubs or signed petitions - although I am obviously headed that way. Am I counted among the faithful, when people discuss our numbers? How many fans do we have, and how many were needed to resurrect Trek, in its day?
I cannot, will not believe that we do not constitute a base large enough to support a television show, on some network, somewhere.
What would it take for SF channel to commit? They are business people, no doubt. We gain nothing by slandering those in Hollywood who need to pay attention to the bottom line, or by yearning for a more utopian world. Firefly, after all, is about folks tryin' to get by in a distinctly dystopian world.
On the contrary, what we need to do is to come together and convince the bottom-lined, hard-headed business folk of television that Firefly is just that - good business. As our Mal-content said, "I'm here for business."
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I care more about this show than everything else on TV combined. For the most part, I literally do not have the time for television, nowadays. For Firefly, I make time.
Folks talk about one million copies of Serenity to be sold, theoretically, or similar numbers of Firefly DVDs, in the past . . . (I dunno - I am not an authority, here. The numbers, I'm sure, are on the CoreTex.)
If each of one million fans committed, in some online fashion, to contributing a whopping $1 per episode, we would be able to defray the cost of one hour of expensive, special effects laden TV by $1,000,000.00. If only 100,000 fans were serious enough, but were willing to pay $5 per episode, that would be $500,000.00.
Maybe they could receive special River Tam Decoder Rings, as a token of being among the True Believers? Whatever. Just give me my gorram show back.
I would consider it a better investment in art and entertainment than a cable subscription, for sure. Or 90% of the theater fare, these days.
I don't know how this would work. But I am willing to believe, as the good Shepherd would have us all do,NOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Shoot. I've already bought the first season 3 times & I'll keep seeing the BDM until it's gone from my state. We don't have cable, and I'd sure as heck put the money we don't spend on thousands of hours of crap (and the few good hours we miss, too) into pre-paying for another season of Firefly.
We talk about how the www brings fans together & has already completely changed, for instance, the way the music industry does things... why not change the TV industry (without having to upset them or pirate anything to do it)? Why not get our show made by paying for it ourselves?
I know. I know. I read a lot of talk like this when Firefly was first cancelled, and everybody said it couldn't be done for one reason or another, but I'd swear there were enough people out there who'd paypal the $$$ straight to Joss to convince him we meant it. A season straight to DVD? A show released for download one ep at a time, for as long as the fans continued to pony up? I'd be one of the prepaid season subscribers. PROMISE.

I think that Sci Fi channel is a better location than a big network. Genre (sci-fi in particular) programs tend to do poorly on the network. Sci-Fi works better in the movies because people tend to pay money for special effects. Of course, I can see a day coming up where sci-fi wears out its welcome in the movies as people become jaded about eye dropping special effects.
Even if Serenity had been a box office blockbuster, I don't think the networks believe that Sci-Fi is an exact fit with their audience. There audience tends to like paranormal shows and hates genres that offer either past (think Nero Wolfe on A&E which was described by many as the best show on television yet only survived two seasons on a minor channel) or future (Star Trek, Firefly, etc). They think their audience likes sci-fi only if it is a separate world, like a movie theatre and there is no good way to lead into a sci-fi series. One of the most common ways to build viewership is to have stars from other programs guest star in another program in either their same character or in a slightly different one. This doesn't work as well with historical genre programs, as the stars look weird in a different timeline
Just imagine this promo if Firefly was on ABC:
"On this weeks's Firefly, Desparate Housewives' Tori Hatcher guest tries to kick Inara off Firefly as a companion with something extra..."
I think what will happen to Firefly is very dependent upon what happens with Joss and Wonder Woman. If it is a big success, I don't think Firefly will get much of his attention. Less than bog success Firefly will get some of his attention IF Universal want's it done as either a TV series or movies. But don't be surprised if his role becomes more like an executive producer role and he turns it over to someone else. I think that Joss is now a big time director and would probably want to turn part of the project over to someone else.
I don't know if many people say this but I think there is a real difference between Joss Fans whose who believe is ultimate creation is Firefly and Firefly fans who may (or may not) like Buffy and Angel. I think the general public really has never seen an episode of either Buffy or Angel hearing that they were teenage supernatural programs on Fox. One of the dichatomies of Firefly that its insistence of realism in its depiction of the future makes it quite different than Buffy or Angel in which you have to get past the premise that vampires exist. and that its as much a western as it is sci-fi.
Firefly with its very western appeal (the government is evil) and southern agrarian (corporations are out to get you) message might very well play with southern and western conservatives that wouldn't be caught dead watching a show about a teenage vampire slayer. I'm beginning to think that this may be a slight problem with some of the marketing was that it didn't quite appeal a broad section of the public. One of the wallpaper's for Serenity stated:
From the makers of 'Buffy' and 'Angel'
when that might mean nothing and might actually turn some people off.
What I'd like to see is a demographic breakdown of Firefly fans to see where we need to market this to others. I suspect that we'll find that the bulk of the fans of Firefly are sci-fi or edgy TV fans. But I think the real explosion will be when we expose this show to a broader segment of the public. And I don't mean by TV. Many of those won't watch Sci-Fi channel or wouldn't watch it on broadcast TV either. Instead of reaching out to your neighboor who is a geek, look to that neighbor who likes country music or hunting. Ask them if they've ever seen a sci-fi series with country music ballad as its theme song.

Good comments Hartmeister.
I'm favoring NBC since apparently the are part of Universal's corporate network and thus closer to Firefly than ABC or CBS.
"Lost" is considered "Sci-Fi" and it is extremely popular and does great on ABC. Much of what you state reflects what I think the network corporate view of viewers is not the actual viewership themselves.
If NBC put Firefly back on the air I think it would be a smash hit because NBC would bring a large audience (even in today's world of cable TV the three big networks still pull the largest audience shares by a large margin). Once a decent amount of people actually see Firefly it will become very successful (assuming it is made with the same quality as the original series.
I do think marketing Serenity as "by the maker of Buffy and Angel" was a bad move. I know there are a lot of "Joss Fans" that love Buffy and Angel, but seriously I love Firefly and knowing that Joss is responsible / involved with Angel and Buffy turns me away a little. If I'd never seen Firefly and read that I probably would dismiss and ignore Firefly.
From the five times I've seen Serenity the demographic audience seems to be extremely "old" (not the typical "male 16-35" audience!). Serenity seems to be pulling the 50+ crowd (Star Trek fans?). Firefly draws a lot of female viewers. So if I had to sum up the Firefly demographic in super simple terms: "mature, intelligent females". (not to imply at all that there aren't a lot of us "mature, intelligent males" also watching)
Release some action figures (ignore the crappy ones they did release), cool models, a Lego set, some guns, make a PS2 video game and bingo you've got the young male audience. What the networks seem to fail to realize is that Firefly has appeal to every age range and gender! Firefly well marketed on NBC could be one of the top series of all time.
The only negative working against Firefly being phenomenally popular is virtually zero marketing!

There were a couple of news items on IMDB yesterday (2005 November 9) that relate to a couple of recent posts in this thread. One is that Blockbuster may be on the verge of bankruptcy. So, you can either say 'Never mind that they won't carry Firefly', or you can write Blockbuster corporate & tell 'em you'd like to patronize their local store, but they don't have Firefly.
The other (Death of Primetime) is that the big three broadcast networks have announced plans to make their content available on demand (VOD / PpV / subscription). This is great news for us. While I don't suggest anyone give up current efforts to save Firefly all on its lonesome, lets look for ways to show our support for this concept. It makes Neilsen ratings obsolete.

I believe the FOX network has shown the Firefly/Serenity fans that they don't understand the show/movie like the fans,cast and crew understood them. therefor, FOX will never be the loving home for either a series return or funding a sequel ever again. the SciFi Channel IS a perfect fit for Firefly's return!

Yup! FOX owns "Firefly's" Rights, but NOT "Serenity's"
FOX messed up the order of the original airing because they had no real cares about STORY/PLOT, they just wanted something to fill the friday night line up!

I think that's because you're two or three years too late. When it was first cancelled, not only was there a massive letter-writing campaign, and not only did Joss Whedon wear himself ragged by taking it to all the other networks, but the Browncoats took out a full-page ad in Variety (I think it was Variety) in which they thanked the cast and creators and vowed to bring the show back. Fast-forward to 2005, and you've got Serenity, because Universal exec Mary Parent is a "Whedon-stalker", and because the DVDs sold so well. As one of the earlier posts mentions, it was probably the initial campaign that got the DVD set made. So the first wave of Browncoats has done an awesome job, one that the latecomers might not know anything about.
FOX was always the wrong network for the show, and Joss knew it the second they sent back the pilot and demanded something with more jokes and more action. (Though...I kinda liked it better when Mal lightened up.) The sticking point is that they own the rights. This is presumably neither here nor there to them, since they don't seem to be considering bringing it back, but it would surely represent an extra impediment to any other station, even if they could be persuaded. It would be an extra expense, another legal hoop to jump through, etc. This is why the Browncoats' strategy is split on the issue, and some are still looking at FOX while others are looking elsewhere.
I personally think that a unified approach is the only way to go, and we should try to find out what the process is for one network selling their rights, how much it costs, how hard it is, etc. Depending on the answers, we should either stick with FOX (which has a history of bailing on quality shows, but also a history of being the only one to show them to start with) or settle on another network, such as ABC or NBC. Or, you know, HBO, which has a history of creating, airing, AND sticking with quality shows.

by the way, you're at least a year too late if you want to make 2004 the year we bring back Firefly.

It's the irony of the growth of the internet. Back in the day ('95 or so), a petition made a lot of sense because there was usually only one effort, one bullhorn that everyone flocked to. Now there are multiple distinct and diluted efforts. But you're right -- even just the one sometimes doesn't help much, such as was the case with Space: Above and Beyond.

Forget Fox!
They've pulled this kind of stunt before. They Dropped Doctor Who in favor a Pauly Shore Gag Show. (Gag, how appropriate).
They're the ones who thought they pulled a major stunt on George Lucas when he negotiated their continuing to bankroll his first Star Wars movie. They are the reason he's so damned rich in Star Wars now.
I would say the Joss Wheedon should approach Mr. Lucas and see if he's interested in rubbing the nose's of the Fox executives in their stupid mistakes, again.

I think I started this the wrong way around, but no matter. Serenity was my introduction to the Firefly universe, and I fell totaly for the consept. I quickly got hold of the Firefly DVD to see more of the universe and to get to know the characters better.
I can't say I understand their reason for closing down the show. There is so much more I want to know about the characters and the universe.
What did they replace Firefly with? Since I'm not from the US I have no idea, so if someone could tell me I would appreciate it 
Now the topic issue. Is there any way I can help to try to get Firefly back on the screen? Since I'm rather new I haven't had time to read everything that has happened yet.

I am a newly converted Firefly fan. I just bought the series on iTunes, watched the first episode, and then I couldn't stop. Went straight through all of them.
The reason I did this is because a friend persisted until I gave in and bought the series. I think this is the most effective way of helping to bring Firefly back. Word of mouth, increasing the fandom exponentially until millions have been converted. If every Firefly fan got three people hooked, and then those three people, etc. it'd be a madhouse. We need this show, we need it. I know I need it.

There you are. You have your gear. We are currently fighting hard to get Firefly/Serenity back. We have a campaign going called the Serenity Summer Campaign. Starting next week we are going to be very busy posting at other sites to share the news that Firefly will be on all day long on a marathon on SciFi as the lead in to their big Stargate premiere night. I think it's a very wise choice they've made and we're gonna write them and thank them and ask them for more.
We have much more planned for the future.

How could Firefly come back when so many of the threads that made the show compelling were closed off in Serenity? River's secret is revealed, Shepherd and Wash are dead, Kaylee finally gets laid, the Reavers are mainstream and mostly dead after clashing with the alliance.
How Whedon could resurrect a series that his film looked suspiciously designed to finish I don't know but I am no film maker. Maybe he could pull it off, but I don't think he actually wants to.
I thought the series was excellent and wasn't happy when it was killed-off before being given a chance, but things move on and I think it's for the best to wave g'bye to an excellent show.
