> [* Dearest Netflix: Want to make up for missing this one? You could always bring back Firefly and/or Pushing Daisies... Please?]<p>Netflix might be able to make a space based sci-fi show, the Netflix audience is probably young enough and won't torrent the show since it will be on Netflix commercial free all at once. There hasn't been one of these kind of sci-fi shows since SG-U was canceled. Firefly, SG, I don't care, can we just have something? :(
Very interesting move by Yahoo. I didn't even realize they had a streaming service.<p>Hopefully this venture succeeds. The more different content distributors there are, the more good content we're going to see. (+ down with the cable monopolies...)
Re: the postscript.<p>I loved Firefly. Firefly was on TV 13 years ago. I'm not sure I'd want it back. Right now it lives in this mystical realm of "what we got was perfect."<p>Plus after Serenity's events it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
This is such a brilliant move by Yahoo - there can't have been many people who even knew Yahoo was going into streaming content (I didn't, and I follow the space pretty closely). Now, if they really wanted to bring in built in audiences - they need to get on bringing back Firefly, Terriers, Lone Star, and Deadwood, along with saving shows like Trophy Wife and Enlisted (both new shows this year that critics loved but were cancelled, for those who have never heard of them)
This is an interesting move on Y! part. I wonder how their experience has been with long format video content before? Are people watching many shows on yahoo? I didn't even know they offered any.<p>Was Netflix's picking up arrested development a one and done experiment?
