Independents Push For Second Firefly Season

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the anything-to-bring-it-back dept.

ovanklot writes "It seems that Brilliant Screen Entertainment is looking to see if there is an audience for a second season of the science fiction show FireFly. From the article: 'It's possible that subscribers may choose one of three playback options; monthly DVD deliveries, TV On-Demand using your cable or satellite provider, or computer viewing via Streaming Download.'" They are asking folks to fill out a short survey to gather demographics for support in their efforts to get Fox to release the show to them. The site also stresses that they want neither money nor confidential personal information.

    It's about time that production companies considered DVD subscriptions.

    The absolute best fans can hope for at this point is a straight-to-dvd 2nd season release.

    That sounds significantly better than a TV release to me!

    If Firefly is judged on actual sales instead of some idiot at a studio imagining that some lesser show would fare better in the same time slot, then FireFly will do pretty well - as evidenced by DVD sales thus far.

    Frankly I could stand to have TV as we know it disbanded and just buy all entertainment either online or via DVD. I would not miss these archaic things we call "channels" whatsoever.

    What? There is no way they are going to make another Firefly movie... The first one bombed.

    According to some figures I looked up, it looks like it may have come close to breaking even at the box-office. Yes, that would constitute a bomb by normal standards, but I bet nearly everyone of the diehard Firefly fans who went to see it also bought it when it came out on DVD. That would amount to a fair amount of money for Fox...
