Ooh, "Firefly Babies"!
Where all of the cast are infants (except for Book) and they all meet at the daycare center!

Get the original cast to do the voice work and I'll call it shiny.
Be well, people of CoH.

Of course there are plenty of stories they could set in Pre-Serenity movie time thus we get Wash and Book.
If this series were to happen I'd like to see some eps that tell us Shepard Book's past. Yes we had the one shot comic Shepard's Tale but there is more to tell I'm sure.
Post Serenity things I'd like to see:
1. The Operative: he's no longer loyal to the alliance thanks to Mal showing that broadcast. Would he stay within the alliance to sabotage them from within, or quit them and perhaps find religion or at least try to join up with Mal and the Serenity crew? Him trying to join up with the crew would make for some interesting stories as well as tensions given that it was his orders that killed Shepard Book. Zoe might also blame him for Wash dying even though that was the Reavers getting a surprise and lucky shot in.
2. Zoe: she lost her husband. She's always been loyal to Mal. Now however, Mal's incessant hatred of the alliance and wanting to tear down the alliance started a chain reaction of events that culminated in Wash dying. It was Mal's idea to go into Reaver space to Planet Miranda where they learned the truth, and it was Mal's idea to get the Reavers to chase them all the way back to the Alliance fleet, the battle of which led to Wash getting killed. (I still laugh as even the calm and professional Operative freaked out as the Reavers arrived on the scene....TARGET EVERYTHING SOMEBODY FIRE!!!!!!!!). So just how loyal is Zoe to Mal now? Would she harbor some hatred of him for Wash dying?
If the post-Serenity comics are canon, Zoe was last seen looking like Wash left her a bun in the oven. Something the two had talked about in one of the unaired episodes.
An animated return to the world(s) of Firefly/Serenity would be seriously shiny, but I'm not holding my breath. I still remember there being talk of a Buffy animated series that never saw the light of day, after all...

What if Joss Whedon were to authorize an MMORPG version of "FIREFLY"? I wonder if there'd be a nice, stable niche market for that..... ;-)

No. The appeal of Firefly is the writing and the characters.
The MMO version would be filled with internet people. Same reason I never considered playing SW:Galaxies, Star Trek Online, or Matrix Online.

Other kid: Okay
Jayne: *SMACK!*
Jayne: Sorry. Couldn't resist...
