For those of you who still haven't seen it (shame on you), Firefly will be airing on the Sci-Fi channel starting Friday, July 22 at 7pm ET.

They'll be airing ALL of the episodes, and hopefully in the correct order.

Also, don't forget to read the three comics after seeing the series, and before seeing the movie.

Cool! Go go Sci-Fi channel!

As neat as it is that they're going to be running the series, though, I have to emphasize that the DVD set is only 30 bucks, and is presented in gorgeous, sharp anamorphic widescreen. Looks fantastic on a high-def TV. Sci-Fi's signal quality hasn't been all that great on my DirecTV dish... overcompressed and fuzzy. Given the choice, I'd nab the DVDs in a heartbeat.

But for those who are on the fence, watch the two-hour pilot episode on Sci-Fi, fall in love with it, and run out and buy the DVD set so you can watch them all before Sci-Fi's run finishes.

Yes, definitely get the DVD set. You'll end up buying it anyway. It'll look better, you can watch it at your own pace (or all at once, like I have many times ); plus, it has extras.

Uhhh, yeah. What he said.

Of all the people to whom I have lent my DVD set, only one person did not go out and buy a set for themselves, and the people I know who have the DVDs watch them over and over again.

It isn't like they are so in-depth that each time I watch them I find things I missed the first time. It's just that they are so well done and so entertaining that, even though I know all the dialog and every scene by heart now, I enjoy re-experiencing the magic every time I see them.

I saw the movie a while ago but haven't seen the series.
Just saw this post on SlashDot regarding another FireFly Marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel starting September 18th.

Don't know if I'll catch it or not- no PVR and the TV is off most of the time. Still, it would be fun to see a few episodes.

And if you get satellite high def, I heard one of the stations is going to be showing it later on this month, I think the 24th or the 28th, in high def.
