You've got the natural family unit of John, Aeryn, and little D to center it, even.

Look, I don't care if its direct-to-DVD movies, an animated series, comic books, an MMO, woodcarvings, fucking cave paintings...I just want more Firefly. Doesn't matter how, just DO WANT.

But then Germany ended up taking over the world and Fonz was like: "I was wrrrrr - wrrrr - " and he couldn't say he was wrong.
It was so awesome.

In the style of Boogiebop Phantom: "X-Files."
Beedy. Beedy. Beedy. "Buck Rogers."
Lastly "Max Headroom." We're living in the land of blipverts.

Garibaldi's involvement with Bester is wrapped up quite nicely in the Psi-Corps trilogy of novels. We may not have been able to see the fairly long in-between moments, but we know how it all ended at least. Just, you know, don't go looking for the good books (#7, #9, and the three trilogies) without being willing to drop a few bucks on them, as at least four of them are now officially "out of print" and only climbing in price on the Used market.

Plus, I sure love & miss Galen the technomage. Excalibur could have went somewhere.

You mean Crusade? If you want more Galen, chase down the trilogy of Technomage novels, in which he's the main character. Also, pretty much every appearance of any Technomage in either B5 or Crusade is put in context within the novels. I can only remember one episode that deals with them in B5, but there are at least three in the short run of Crusade that involve Technomages that aren't named Galen. The novels also deal in large part with the storyline that had originally been intended to be a major part of Crusade, and then later a certain theatrical movie that never got off the ground.

The Clerks cartoons worked really well and maybe a cartoon based around Daywatch and Nightwatch, even though Duskwatch aint out yet (hurry up).
One last thing. In the UK 2000AD is hugely popular. When DNA and rebellion took over they mentioned a new Dredd film. Its happening. They mentioned Rouge Trooper on the Wii. It happened (and was good). They also talked heavily about a Dredd cartoon, like a late night Spawn. Heavy on action and blood but very faithful to the comic. Has anyone heard anything since because the comic and website just went quiet last year. It would work so well, the comic has so many ideas and has been copied and re-copied since 1976. Its got so much Thrill Power its untrue. Zarjar if it happens. DNA make it so.....
Only true 2000AD fans will understand Zarjar!!
