Fans of the cult-hit series Firefly will be pleased to learn that the show has been picked up by the Sci Fi Channel--just two months before the release of Serenity, a Universal Pictures film based on the series.
SciFi picked up the rights to show the 1st season of Firefly, including the 3 unaired episodes. They also will be showing them in order.
This move scares me. With the movie coming out in 2 months, you'd think Fox would adopt a "wait and see" attitude about the show. Why are they selling rights to a show that could get very popular? If they had any plans to restart the show after the movie, you'd think they'd want to keep the 1st season.
Not that this is the first time Fox has done something silly. Family Guy is currently showing on 3 different networks spanning 2 major studios: reruns are shown on Cartoon Network and TBS (owned by Time Warner), and reruns/new episodes are shown on Fox.
The show sucks. Family guy sucks too. These shows should be taken completely off the air. Stupid.
