Firefly returns to Television

The Sci Fi Channel reports that they have aquired the rights to reruns of the short-lived Fox series Firefly! They plan to air all episodes (including the 3 which never aired on Fox) before the release of Serenity in theatres on September 30th.

Not only will Sci Fi air all of the episodes, they will be shown in the correct chronological order (unlike the butcher job Fox did by starting with episode 3 and ending the run with the pilot...). Sci Fi plans to make them a part of Sci Fi Friday, the lineup of their flagship original series Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. The new season of these shows begins one week earlier on July 15th.

It all starts July 22, with Serenity - Part 1. Browncoats unite!
