From the creator of Buffy, Angel, and… that other thing

Four AM. Can’t sleep. Who’d have thought?

There’s a couple of things I’d like to say and a few things I really can’t. …

Don’t think for a second that I have given up on this show. I think it has been mistreated shamefully but the Fox network has indicated that they would not stand in the way (which they can) of my finding a new home for the show. That’s no easy prospect. But I will do everything in my power, as always, to keep this bird in the air. Of course I’ll post if there’s any news. …

So for now, I proudly take my place beside Profit, The Ben Stiller Show, The Tick, and Action. But I won’t rest until I’ve found safe harbour (no, not the Gregory Harrison show) for this vessel.

I’ve got the time.

It ain’t like I’m sleeping.

-joss.

So, hope springs eternal. Everyone say it with me: UPN, UPN, UPN — where the network is happy to have you.
Couple things:

  • Firefly has more current viewers than Angel or Buffy.
  • Their ‘horrible ratings’ are double-digit multiples of Buffy’s numbers the first season.

A cult hit on a smaller network seems like a perfect fit.

  1. What I really want more than anything is for someone to pick up Firefly and over the course of a couple years (I’m in no hurry) build it’s viewership to the point where it is soundly thrashing whatever Fox has up against it in its time slot.
    That’s really all I want. And a signed script book.

  2. Profit, damn that was a good show – all 2 eps of it… Good luck to you! Maybe fox will crumble, unlike that damned sci-fi channel. What is it with cancelling the good shows?
