Firefly Coming to DVD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insert-mandarin-quote-here dept.

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.

  1. Simple by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stop and think about it for a second.

    Cost to produce new TV shows and air them? Lots

    Cost to release existing shows on a cheap meduim? Not a lot.

    It's very simple.

  2. Why does Fox have to cancel all its good shows? by etcshadow · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's really very sad and disturbing. Fox honestly seems to develop some of the best and most original shows that hit TV these days, along with some of the absolute worst crap. Why do they nearly always choose the crap over the good stuff?

    Firefly is a great example. Do I have to mention Futurama? What about Andy Richter being taken off the air for this godawful crap "The Pits"?

    *Sigh*.
