What would you like to see done with "Firefly"?

20 years later, it remains heartwarming to know that Nathan Fillon is still the ultimate Firefly fanboy

I've never seen such a tightly written one season since Firefly, every episode was outstanding.

I think my favorite Castle/Firefly moment was where he reveals he knows Chinese and when asked where he learned it Fillion's character says 'from a TV show I loved'

When I found Firefly, I binged watched all the episodes. I loved it. Looked up when the next season was going to play only to find out it was cancelled about 5 years earlier. Would have loved to see more of Firefly. The movie Serenity was good too. All the actors worked well together.

I, like many fans of this show, didn't find out about it until YEARS after it was cancelled. Fox basically cancelled the show before launch by not advertising.

In the UK Firefly was shown in order and all episodes were aired. Nobody could understand why it was cancelled. Most sci-fi fans loved it and the box set had very good sales.

I didn't even know about the show until after I saw "serenity." When I went back and watched it, I couldn't believe it was cancelled. It has to be the best TV SciFi ever made.

Imagine if Firefly had the marketing Buffy did. We'd still be watching reruns of the many seasons that would have been created. Firefly was another show that was just too well done for TV. Networks seem to love mindless drivel instead.

Fox didn't want to have two sci-fi shows on at the same time, but how many reality shows, police procedurals, adult cartoons, etc did they have running? Take one great sci-fi show, add another great sci-fi show and you have two great sci-fi shows that will fill two hours and bring in enthusiastic fandoms.

I could watch Firefly (and Serenity) over and over again - and have done so over the years. Simply one of the best TV shows ever, killed prematurely by a network that seemed incapable of knowing what to do with it. When you see the garbage turned out nowadays by the networks, is it any wonder that TV is becoming irrelevant - I haven't watched TV for over a decade now. Get quality like Firefly back on TV and I would be watching every week.

Firefly holds a very special place in my heart, but I don't ever want to see a remake. If they return to the verse I hope it is either a continuation or follows a completely different cast of characters. Though I am not even sure I want modern Hollywood touching it.

This was one of the best science fiction shows on television! And Serenity is a classic! You have to watch it, to get it. The writing is fantastic!

Loved the series, loved the movie, mourned the loss. Guess I should feel grateful that it didn’t get bought out by Disney.

It not only aired on Death Friday, but half the episodes that did air were pushed after midnight by baseball playoffs. The listings couldn't keep track, so I missed broadcast episodes simply because they weren't listed. It was like someone at Fox was trying their best to kill it. And did.

As mentioned, Castle had many references to Firefly, less well known I suspect is that "Chuck" also had a number of Firefly references as well.

My entire family adored Firefly from Day 1. It was really tough to catch it, because Fox kept jerking around the times when it would air. Plus, the whole deal of airing the episodes out of sequence drove us nuts. Throughout all of that, we Browncoats loved and adored our show! Went to see Serenity at the theater several times & even bought a couple of props from the movie. Still have one of the Reaver darts that were shot at Kaylee hanging on my wall downstairs. I've always appreciated the fondness that all of the cast members have shown for the series, and it's a special thing to see/hear when other series mention anything about Firefly!!

That casting chemistry was on point.

So glad we ended up with the cast we did. I couldn't imagine the show being as good as it was with a different Mal

Loved the show ! It baffles me that it was only one season. So good ! I couldn't imagine another cast than the original. Serenity was so good too !

Firefly forever. Don't ever want to see a remake/reboot/whatever. Can't recapture the perfection that was Firefly.

I love character driven shows where you feel like you know these people. Joss is a very flawed human, but he could really connect to people with his deep characters.

Disney owns the rights to Firefly, but the prognosis isn't good from what I've read. The rumored reboot would be done with a whole new cast--which already puts me on the back foot. It's also rumored that the tone would be shifted to a more family-friendly vibe. The idea of a kiddie version of Firefly makes me want to grind my teeth in rage.

When the box set came out, it made sense to buy 2, just in case one went missing. Greatest sci fi ever.

Loved the show. Loved the movie. They squandered what they had time and time again and now it is just too late. Outside of going the animation route with the original casts voices I think any new live action Firefly show would flounder under the weight of what could have been. They should have sold the rights. I think they could pull off highly interactive RPG/movie style game and literally make interactive episodes.. Instead here we are..

Would absolutely love to see Firefly back, but only with at least the majority of the original cast. They were all amazing together. That chemistry is hard to replicate without the originals.

Love Firefly, love all the characters, perfectly cast, watched it many times over, hope they continue it in the near future.👍🏻

So I bought this and the movie, I watch it often. This show was so well written, acted and just probably my favorite.

There are a *lot* of series that have a lousy two seasons, but really ramp up in their third season -- it's a big enough pattern that I'm convinced that series should be given three seasons to find a voice and find an audience before it gets cancelled. It's a pity that Firefly started out good, but never had a chance to *really* take off!

Every firefly episode is better done and more compelling than any star trek or star wars movie in the last 15years.

I loved this show and the movie. The idea of space travel having become so commonplace and ordinary that the vehicles in use are no longer the spotless marvels of star trek but more like the variety of vehicles we see on our roads today. That includes old, or "classic", types like Firefly herself. Joss Whedon had a great few years and was blessed with a number of actors that became synonymous with his work.

i was there when the show first aired. you could never find it. fox really blew it!! it changed days of the week and the hour.. you could never find it!! and we were really trying as we loved it from the first second..

I watched this when it first aired in the UK and it was a breath of fresh air for sci-fi and I was truly gutted when it got cancelled. Serenity was an amazing film.

Firefly remains in my top-2 list of the greatest shows to ever grace television.

Had a second thought. Saw the "Magnificent Seven" when I was much younger, a truly great western, with great actors very enjoyable, then some years after that, discovered that the movie was based on "The Seven Samurai" a Japanese classic which in itself, albeit in B&W was again a great movie. The transition of the story from one culture to another with the basic layout and theme the same, did it no harm at all. So it was with "Firefly" endearing, funny, poigniant, adventurous, all of which make for a romping good tale. We need some escapism from this tormented world we live in, it protects our sanity. BRING BACK FiREFLY! PLEEZE! Lets face it we havent had a decent Sci Fi on the TV for years, so lets have it!

My 24 year old daughter watched the old Castle series and loves Nathan Fillion. I told her to watch Firefly, which is still on Hulu, Serenity is a $3 rental on Amazon. It was a such a no brainer cool Dad moment.

I never knew about this show until a friend loaned me the box set. I fell in love immediately, and wondered where I was when it aired.

I have always heard, that Firefly was 'this great show that was cancelled, but was wildly popular'. I only watched it recently, and LOVE IT. I am amazed that it got cancelled, and didn't blow-up! It just goes to show what mismanagement will do, to even a Good Show.

I'd love to see more shiny, shiny episodes of the iconic show, ideally with the as much as the original cast as possible (interest may vary, as some have gone on to be pretty successful). I'm sure Mal would be onboard for more, and as the glue which held Serenity together, he'd bring more of the original cast. They'd have to keep the original theme too, it's just so damn good!

Firefly left a deep impression on me and I didn't realize that it showed. At the age of 16 my son who had just gotten his drivers license took me on a ride. He drove directly to the theater where he had purchased tickets for the opening of Serenity. He hadn't watched Firefly, but he remembered as a kid how I looked when my world stopped the moment the show came on.

I, too was late to this show as I was working on my dissertation. Then in 2007, I got cancer and a good friend that owned a video store (anyone remember those) would bring me videos twice a week (her get well gift during my recovery) and Firefly was part of that generous gift. Admittedly, I had a little bit of a hard time understanding the first couple of episodes, but that could have been due to the meds. Then, I sat down one day with a clear head and rewatched the entire series. It was truly FANTASTIC!!! I would watch new episodes even now! Thanks and take care...

I don't buy DVDs unless they are something I will rewatch for years. This show is one I will cherish forever.

One of the best and saddest lines.."I am a leaf on the wind"

I always felt like the networks wanted Firefly to tank. As far as reviving the show, I belive it when I see it. Long live the Firefly fanatics!

Loved the show, have the whole boxed set. Lent it out to people to watch, got them hooked. Went to the preview screenings in my area. Got Morena Baccarin's autograph. Got the movie (actually, two copies of the movie). Lent that out to people to watch (after they watched the tv show), kept them hooked. Trying to spread the love one future fan at a time. :o)

I loved so much Firefly series and we was lucky to have the movie too💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

You failed to mention all the official comics that have expanded the story a great deal! Other than that... there's so much to confess. A show that defined its decade and influenced shows like Battlestar Galactica. Script was so anti-cliche at the time - in the standard comedic/cynical Whedon way. By today's standards, it may seem as "nothing special", but back then it had balls to go to all directions shows were hesitant to go before - from the "heroes" killing off the "bad" guys when they had the chance to spare them, to showing the characters private lives, even going to toilet, to shaky/handheld camera in space without sound - things that hadn't been done before in space shows. Firefly loosened up the formalities, blurred the lines between good and evil and added the western's rusty and gritty settings. I can only imagine what it could have become under the care of a network like HBO as opposed to Fox, and I can write dozens of pages to eulogize the importance of Firefly, and why it meant so much to me and millions of fans over the past two decades; the characters became our family, and Serenity was our home. See you in the 'verse!

Being a truck driver , I missed seeing this series when it was first aired . Wasn't till my boys and I were looking at DVD's, they mentioned I would like it . So disappointed that the network , could not see its worth . I watch the series at least once a year , the same goes for Lonsome Dove .

what a great show! I have the DVDs and if Blu-rays weren't "old tech" at this point...I would buy the BD set as well. I so wish it had been given more seasons. On a side note...I love the Looper videos. You guys do great great explanations in short times. Your writing, narration and edits are really on the spot with what fans want to see in these vids. Good on you guys.

I really wish that Firefly had continued for many seasons!!! Shepherd was one of my favorites on the series. Of course Mal was awesome as well!

Alan tudyk and Nathan fillion are underrated actors

I still watch this once a year. I love this show so much. And It's been how long? Since 2004, I think? These folks are too old now. I hope they just let it stay gone. It wouldn't be the same. At all.

Curse Fox’s sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I really enjoyed watching this series and the movie. A network would do well to bring it on again.

The cancellation of Firefly was the beginning of the end of my watching broadcast networks. Why devote time to a show only to have it yanked out from under you? FOX screwed up. If a show lasts a few years I'll catch it on DVD. I'll know ahead of time how many seasons were made and can plan accordingly.

I vaguely remember Firefly being advertised on Fox. However, my schedule with my job prevented me from seeing it. I saw it on TV years later, and I became a huge fan. What an excellent show.

Me and my brother used to tune in every week for this show. We were hooked and so saddened when it was cancelled. I always wanted more and the movie just destroyed my hopes. So many questions unanswered.

BROWN COATS FOREVER!!!!!!!

I would love to see this show come back! And Fillion has to be in it! 😁

I remember watching and loving Firefly when it first hit the airwaves. The problem, however was that I never knew when a new show was coming -- the schedule was so sporadic and they repeated shows and aired them out of order. It was like Fox was trying to kill it. That should explain SOME of the mystery here.

It was such a GOOD family show, our family LOVED IT! We watched it on Netflix until it was no longer available, then we bought the movie. It would be good to see it come back for sure. Thanks for sharing Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

I never even knew it existed until after it was cancelled.

Firefly was an amazing series that I just happened to see when it came out on DVD.I wish they would bring it back somehow.

I was bored one afternoon and watched serenity on a whim at the dollar theater. It blew me away and I had to tell everyone about this random sci Fi movie that surely no one else knew about. One of my co workers just got a big smile on his face and told me there was a whole season of the same show and he let me borrow it the next day. I binged the whole thing over the weekend and was hooked and devastated that we wouldn't get any more seasons. I bought the board game and all of it's expansions and that let's me go back whenever I get a few hours with fellow brown coats.

I loved this show and the movie. Somethings are too good to last (Star Trek nearly died in its first season) and this ensemble cast were perfect.

Firefly was one of the best shows ever! I hope the reboot actually happens.

I saw Firefly when a friend of mine let me borrow it on DVD. Fell in love with the show and still love it!

I've seen so many people watch it for the first time and fall in love with it! Firefly, Brisco County Jr, Space Above and Beyond and Earth 2 are my favorite Sci-Fi series that were murdered too soon!

I'd love to see the remaining cast back together. Set it in the future, after the events of Serenity. Ron Glass is dead anyway. Fillion is still young enough for action, Morena is still gorgeous, and Stait is as well. Tudyk is a workhorse, as is Baldwin. Glau and Maher are still around. I bet Gina would be into it. 300 million? There have to be that many of us willing to pay a dollar, let alone 10 or a hundred to see it happen. All that's left is to write it, build the sets, and 9 thousand other things. But it could be done, and I know captain tightpants would be down.

Would really really love to see firefly again. What a great sci-fi concept! Shame how they handled it.

Anyone who enjoys Firefly should try out The Expanse. It's fantastic, I can't recommend it enough.

Just watched it again after 5 years and loved it so much! It's too good I still can't believe only one season but looking forward till I watch it again in a few years time.

“The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.” was also a heavy influence on the show.

They didn't reuse the Starship Trooper armor to simply save money. The network rejected the 2hr pilot titled "Serenity" and demanded that Whedon create a new 1hr pilot episode on short order. So, over a weekend Whedon and Minear wrote "The Train Job" and they shot the new pilot on an accelerated basis. They used the armor from ST because they literally didn't have time to design something new in the time allotted.

I am one of many who discovered Firefly after it was cancelled. I have since seen them all and the movie at least twice. It certainly was never properly publicized when it debuted. What a shame!

Firefly was the best show on TV period. I pretty much stopped watching TV altogether not long after it was cancelled.

I liked it so much I bought the DVD set. Best show ever.

Another great show from that early 2000's era was "Keen Eddie," also aired out of order, poorly scheduled and thrown off the air. I would love to see both it and "Firefly" return...and I don't want them to either. Some shows are not rebootable and need the original cast, and it's been too long now (almost 20 years). Besides, every character on Firefly is key to its working and two of them were killed off in the "Serenity" movie (and one of those actors, Ron Harris, has also since passed away). Nathan Fillion is over 50 years old now, and Adam Baldwin is 60...and that's too old to be playing immature bare knuckle tough guys. And that's the other problem: We expect people to grow up, mature, get their lives together. It's sort of a disappointment if they don't. Would we really tolerate the "should we or shouldn't we" dynamic between Captain Reynolds and Inara? Shouldn't they have figured it out by now? Shouldn't Jayne have wised up just a little bit? And it seems like River would have gotten better and Zoe would have moved on from the tragedy of losing Wash and Simon would have grown more confident. But if everyone has grown up and got a life as we'd hoped...well, there goes the mix of the show. It would be like that all-too-common phenomenon of attending your 20th Class Reunion and after a few hugs and stories, realizing you didn't really have much interest in these people anymore.

I LOVED this season! Had great humor, action and a wonderful cast that gelled so well together. Really a shame that it was terribly botched post-production and did not get the chance to grow.

One of my favorite videos you guys have done.

Firefly was a Grate Tv show , I Loved it !

One of the best series that took sci-fi into new and much more interesting regions . . . also a classic example of what prats they were (are?) at Fox for cancelling the show. At least we eventually had 'Serenity' to bring storylines to a premature end.

Same here like nearly everyone else. I never heard of the show, watched it, loved it, and cried when I found out it was cancelled years before. I do want this back if they do it right!

Great video bye the way love all of the effort

Bring back Firefly!!!

This is just my opinion. I love firefly and was really ticked off when they killed off major cast members in Serenity. It was like they were trying to guarantee it couldn't come back, but every show has a time window and as far as I've seen lately every reboot after that window turns out to be crap. Again just my opinion.

Gods damn it!!!! Now I have to watch Firefly all over again!!!

I still binge watch the boxed set followed by the film on a regular basis. Such an amazing show.

It'd be cool to see them start this show again, 20 years later with a new crew taking over Serenity, as decades of mounting tension between the border and core worlds push the 'verse to the brink of war. The old crew of the Serenity, disbanded, retired, or hiding, find themselves being pulled back into the journeys of their old vessel.

I was one of the few that watched when it aired, loved it then and love it now. I like that it had a small connection to Briscoe because it loved it too and was disappointed that it was cut early too. However I wouldn't want a sequel/remake done with woke Hollywood, they would ruin it. They destroyed comics, star wars, star trek, etc

bring the series back or a movie.. I would pay to watch it!!!!!!!!!!! MOST REWATCHABLE SERIES AND MOVIE EVER!

Thank you for explaining. Still would like to see more...

Piece of advice to anyone that has not watched the show, don't start because you will get attached to it only to have your heart broken since all the character arc's just leave the viewer hanging because of it being cancelled just as we were beginning to delve deeper into the characters.

What a great show that was. Damn the idiots at Fox who screwed it over from the beginning! Each and every episode was a jewel. I no longer watch TV at all; there's very little on that woke wasteland that draws me in. Firefly's writing, direction and acting was first class all the way, and as the man said: they just don't make them like that anymore.

This was such an outstanding show. I triy to binge watch all the episodes at least once a year.

I am a fan of Firefly and of Castle. I always feel a secret satisfaction about the Firefly Easter eggs in Castle

Once they killed Wash in the movie the show was kind of dead to me. At this point it's been so long you would have to recast everyone and it just wouldn't be the same chemistry

I didn't even know about Firefly until years after it had been cancelled!! Mainly I was going through a pretty messy divorce and in the process of losing my house and land when this aired! So "life"! Then one day ten years later I was told I should watch Firefly.... from an internet forum I was on! I loved it so much I watched each episode over and over and over again!! I don't think they could ever bring back such a great show......and Disney will destroy it with all their SJW woke BS in my mind!!! Firefly was supposed to be "dark" for a reason, and that reason IS obvious when you really dig into the stories of the characters, especially Mal!!

there is an image that has stayed with me all these years. Wash had died and was buried on a distant planet with a digital headstone that appeared to play short video clips of Wash. Kind of like an eternal eulogy. Somehow, that is just existentially sad.

Great. Loved it
