Firefly

Joss Whedon’s Firefly was canceled in 2002, but don’t tell the Browncoats.

These superfans continue to produce weekly podcasts and engage in live-action role-playing games inspired by the TV show.

Browncoat Andrew Schultz recently raised $1,300 in 24 hours to help Fox produce a second season.

Studio officials scoffed, saying that fan funding is "simply not a realistic scenario."

But the Browncoats aren’t giving up.

They’re looking into licensing the rights to create and distribute new Firefly episodes on DVD or on demand - an arrangement that would cost millions.

"I have no doubt that there will be new stories, whether they are in comic book form, a movie, or a new TV series," Schultz says.

"It’ll happen; it’s just too good to let die."
