Firefly Coming to DVD
Kaypro writes "According to the scoop over at Ain't it Cool, it seems that Fox has decided that there's not enough viewers to keep the Firefly series on the air, but somehow there's enough fans to make money off DVD sales. Go figure. Included in the set will be the entire season plus unaired episodes and the original pilot in full 16:9 format. Extras I assume are included as well. No release date has been set as of yet." The missing episodes will be nice. In order will be nice. Such a good show. The last couple of episodes were just awesome.
I give FOX a thumbs up for this. I mean they could have release Joe Millionaire on dvd....
The "Sci Fi Friday" demographic. They may have been trying to compete with Sci Fi's lineup. I think a few subscription channels have science fiction shows on Fridays (could be wrong as I don't have any).
:)
It does seem like a terrible time, especially at 7PM my time. The people that may have watched it otherwise who get off of work around 5PM would have to race home to watch it (and I assume do whatever it is other people do when they first get home).
I don't think they are going for the market that actually goes out on Friday nights
I live in a backwater communist country (read Sweden), so I haven't had the chance to see it yet. We're usually a year or two behind everyone else. It's quite annoying actually, since you usually manage to spoil half of the episodes just by reading stuff on the net.
Anyone with a well-paid job in the states who want to switch lives with a law-student in Stockholm? I have a cute girl-friend that would be included. Anyone?

Adam Baldwin (Jayne) said on the Fox Firefly message board that one of the commentary tracks was going to be the entire cast, plus Joss and Tim Minear (one of the head writers), drinking beer and generally mocking their characters.
Good times, good times.

Atleast the stories in Outlaw Star made sense.
Sorry about the writing. Robot fingers, you know? Cliff Steele in DOOM PATROL #23
Is this the same Firefly DVD where Alan Jones sings the "Donkey Serenade"?
C'mon, tell the truth. You are just angry Firefly didn't have muppets, aren't you?
We watched the pilot, however, and didn't miss an episode since.
Since the pilot was the last episode aired, that wasn't very hard to do.
Fox is stupid.
You can't take the sky from me...
what firefly where you watching?
He kicked a guy into the jet intake, shot a guy in the head, left an old woman to die.. sheesh, what do you want? you want him to rip out there eyes an skull fuck them?
you didn't like the show, fine, but for TV, he was pretty much a renegade tough guy.

I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say "goddamn" when talking about Firefly.
