Firefly/Serenity is being called the next 'Star Trek' kind of franchise, depending on how much money the movie grosses.

Fox dropped it. But, nets have made similar disastrous decisions in the past.

Star Trek was dropped after 3 seasons. The franchise went on to make $Mega-Millions.

NBC originally broadcast JAG, when was picked up by CBS and ran for a decade.

It will be interesting to see what develops with the Firefly/Serenity franchise.

From what I've heard Fox owns the exclusive rights to any Firefly TV show for 10 years. Given the outstanding DVD sales and what appears to be a successful movie (#2 on IMDB currently), one would hope that they will realize what they're sitting on and correct their past mistakes.
