If Firefly were returned with all the original characters, does anyone think it could break a 6 share (or about the borderline rating for any new series)? My friends at NBC think it would still be a bottom feeder because not enough people "get it." But it would kill in DVD sales, like Family Guy, making it likely worth whomever picked it up.

Nonetheless, that ship has sailed. Whedon isn't even interested anymore.

No it wouldn't, but it wouldn't because people don't "get it". It would be because there would be NO CHANCE that it would get a prime slot on the schedule. That's the problem with virtually all shows like that, Lost maybe being the only exception.

The key to a show like that making it, would be to get it on a network that doesn't expect those types of ratings. You put it on the major networks it's going to fail like so many other shows.

For example had the Sci-fi channel picked up that show, I bet it would make it no problem. In fact, there were rumors that the Sci-Fi channel wanted the show but had no budget for it because of BSG and SGSG1.

Nobody misses BJ and the Bear?

I loved the first season of BSG...but to think we got those final seasons instead of more Firefly is just criminal.

I think Firefly COULD make it on a major network BUT it would have to be given the time to hook the audience in. No pushing it's time slot and air dates all over the place and showing Adam Sandler re-runs in it's place (not to mention airing the episodes out of order).

But like you said, probably a moot point...the ship has sailed.

On a positive note, I'm enjoying seeing Cap'n Tight Pants on Castle. (Which I'm sure means it's already canceled).

SG Atlantis is still technically alive. They're going to film a movie in the fall, and if it does well they'll make another one.

Hells Bells, I just miss having something to watch on network television.

If you look up television schedules in the 60's-70's there was stuff to watch practically every night. Now it is a wasteland.
