We've been watching Firefly on the SciFi channel, a critically acclaimed science fiction series that didn't make the cut a few years back on Fox.  It's available on DVD.  A feature film, Serenity, is coming out Sept. 30.  We've seen three or so episodes so far and enjoyed it.  "From Buffy: The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, comes Firefly... an action drama set 500 years in the future about the crew of a small transport ship that takes on odd and sometimes criminal assignments."

"In a deal that will extend the run of the most successful series in the history of cable television for another year, HBO announced yesterday that "The Sopranos" will not end with its next season starting in March, but will continue with an additional eight episodes starting in January 2007."
