Well, you all know I love this show, and freaking Fox cancelled it 2 years ago, or however long it was.

It's being made into a movie: Link

Anyways, starting tonight on Sci-Fi, they are replaying all the episodes, in their correct order I believe (which Fox didn't do) and also with three episodes never aired (but appear on the DVDs).

Just wanted to give you all a heads up...it's a good show, it's different, and it leads up to the moving coming out in September...so you may as well watch it!

I to was a big fan. Got the DVD set the day it came out.

As for the movie. Saw the trailer for it a few times the last couple of weeks at the theater, and it looks great. Its the same show with better visuals and special effects. Plus it looks like River is going to be kicking some major arse in it.

Yeah, and if you don't get into it, just watch another one or two...I think you'll be glad you did...it grows on you.

i had about 7 of the shows built up on my dvr and i finally got a chance to watch them this weekend. i love the show so far, it's a bummer that it got canceled. hopefully the movie does good business so that it can get a second life on the big screen like star trek did. :thumbup:

bump for this.

Have had this set on DVD for about 3 months now. Decided to crack it open today.

The first episode (2 part) was pretty good. A little slow at times, but held my interest.

I will watch a couple more episodes probably tomorrow.

I plan on watching Serenity when this is done.

Serenity is one of those movies you can watch over and over--terrific science fiction.

I had planned to watch it for a while now. There has just been so much going on. I routinely leave DVD's sitting on the shelf 6 months before I can get to them.

I plan on watching a couple more episodes tonight.

I finished this show and Serenity a couple of weeks ago. I thought that the pilot episode moved slow. As the episodes went along, the show became better and better. After Serenity I was wanting more.

Still waiting for Disc 1 from BBO, but due to the Gerald Ford National Day Off, it should be in my mailbox today.
