Firefly On SciFi

Here's your chance to see Firefly!

FIREFLY (FOX) - The Sci Fi Channel has landed the repeat rights to all 15 hours of the short-lived FOX series (and basis of the upcoming "Serenity" feature film). The network's July schedule lists the series as joining its Friday lineup on July 22 at 7:00/6:00c where it will precede original episodes of "Stargate SG-1," "Stargate Atlantis" and "Battlestar Galactica."

I'm so glad! I loved the series, but rarely got a chance to watch it -- then it was gone! I can't wait to see the movie, and I'm glad to have the chance to see the series before I do.

cool! I was hoping I wouldn't have to rent it. I hate video rental places.

There's another angle to this that makes it doubly kick ass: If the Firefly movie "Serenity" hits big this September (and it looks freakin' GREAT), and there's a big enough push for the series to be restarted, the fact that Fox is selling them the repeat rights seriously increases the chances that they would sell them the rights to continue the show
if FOX declines to.

I can dream, dangit :)
