New eipsode of Firefly, “War Stories,” tonight on FOX at 8 pm EST, 7 pm CST.
Just wanted to let people know, since FOX is in rerun season, the show is so iffy, people have asked about when it’s on, and I figure SOMEONE should advertise it, if not the network.
Cool. I’ll send to word out to my posse. And the rest of you should too! Someones bound to have a Nielson box…
Woo Hoo-- thanks for the reminder!
Incidentally, next week’s is new as well, and on the 20th they seem to be showing the 2-hour pilot.
You can find the schedule here:

where you can also verify that they have been showing them out of order and one episode is MIA. Way to go, FOX!
It’s on tonight in Canada too. Woot!
Hooray! Planning to pop some popcorn and have a roaring good time.
Query: Why has Fox not mentioned this, or advertized it ever, at all? Or is it just that they’re advertizing it when I’m not home, or something?
Which episode is MIA?
Oh yeah Kn(doesn’t pay all that much attention)ckers, the advertise the heck out of it. FOX starts their big campaign about 30 seconds before the show comes on, then there’s the blitz right in the middle of the episode and a final big promotion right before “John Doe” comes on.
The same plan that worked so well with “The Tick”.
Don’t you know anything?

Now that we are all here…
Where did you first hear about Firefly? I think it was a sci-fi web site in my case.
Ah, silly me for not noticing. Well, I’m sure this method works mighty well with their more perceptive viewers. Mighty well.
carni: Shockingly enough, I first heard about it from an add on Fox, a couple of weeks before the premier. My reason for thinking it would be worth watching? They mentioned in the add that there’s a “tough guy named Jayne” (or however it was they worded it). I thought that was brilliant, and that fact alone probably made it worth watching. Turns out, I was right that it was worth watching, but there are lots more reasons besides Fun With Gender.
On that schedule I linked, Episode 10 is nowhere to be seen.
I first heard about it at Comicon (aka WizardWorld Chicago). I haven’t seen much of anything about it on FOX.
Heard about it in the Buffy threads first as they are pretty in tune with the other projects Joss is invovled in.
I first heard about Firefly from (I think) Entertainment Weekly. It had a story on Joss and the projects he was working on.
Before the season started, there was an article in the TV listings suppliment that came with the Sunday paper. I saw “Joss Weadon”, “cowboys” and “shapeships” and knew I was going to watch. No matter what.
Re: Jayne
I thought it was funny the big tough guy was named “Jayne” seeing how there’s a sect of Buddhism called “the Jaines” who are very much un-Jayne-like. I’m sure it was just coincedence and Joss didn’t do it on purpose. Sure.

“Objects in Space” 11 is new, and they ordered two. Maybe the other hasn’t been listed yet. It’s not like they show them out of order or anything…
I first heard about Firefly from you guys. I don’t think I have ever seen an ad for it on TV, in magazines, or on web banners…anywhere.
The episode Heart of Gold was originally suppose to air on Friday, December 13 but Objects in Space is taking its place. I have no idea what it is about.
I heard about it in Fox ads too, before the season started. The “girl in the box” part was what intrigued me, although I have not seen one single girl in box this whole season. I’m assuming it’s something from the pilot, and I think it’s pretty obvious who she turns out to be, but still …
I’ve been trying to get people to watch it but they all claim to have lives on Friday evenings. Sheesh.
Yes, the girl in the box is from the pilot and is who you think she is.
I first heard of it via a Fox ad prior to the first showing. Probably the only advertising Fox has done for this show. (and I don’t usually use smilies, but I’m gonna use 'em here… :mad: :mad: :mad: )
Now that gallows fodder mentions banner ads, I DO remember there being a Firefly ad when I checked my e-mail (Yahoo) right before the new TV season. I think it lasted about three days.
It was annoying and I ignored it, even though I had already made up my mind to see the show.
