Someone believed in the show enough to agree to funding the movie. Also, apparently the DVD sold out in 24 hours after the pre-order was announced. Face it, the show has fans, lots of them. I prefer to count success by how many people appreciate the work, not how long a network chose to fund it. The fact that it still has large amounts of fans to this day, with only 13 or so episodes and a movie, speaks volumes.

One full length movie. And I bet if you look deeper into it, the movie itself did not even financially make up for the money put into creating it. Another reason the concept failed.

I believe most people placed entirely too much hype on a show that wasn't even that great; their subjective opinions clouding the fact that they will fight for a lost cause based not on logic but mere emotion.

Number eleven out of twenty-five, even I find that does not make it number one.

In the poll, it only came in first place after the follow-up of the film because people were voting in favor of a return that did not have the backing of particular viewers.  Those who voted: only those who liked the show.

The movie made its money back. DVD sales made it profit.

The ending of the movie doesn’t make much for the way of sequels. It you watch it you’ll understand why. Whedon did it to give the show a proper ending. He wasn’t ever expecting the tv show to get revived.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. It seems we both measure success in different ways.

Who is this Burt Whedon of whom you speak.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
