NOTE: Sci Fi has not officially confirmed this.

The following story is provided thanks to an alert from SFTV.org.

According to the January Sci Fi channel schedule, reruns of former Fox series John Doe will be added to the cable network's Friday night lineup at 7/6c p.m.. starting January 20, 2006.

This move is more than a little ironic to Firefly/Serenity fans. After Firefly was cancelled by Fox in the 2002-2003 season, it was John Doe that replaced it on the that network's schedule.

John Doe the series follows the life of the character "John Doe," a man with amnesia, played by Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, Blade Trinity, Mission Impossible II). As the show progresses, we discover abduction and government conspiracy issues as Mr. Doe tries to find the answer to his true identity.

Adding the sci-fi (or spy-fi) zing, it is apparent from the very beginning that Mr. Doe has some astonishing talents; talents that go way beyond those of normal humans.

Although John Doe lasted longer on the Fox Network than Firefly, it too was cancelled at the end of the season. Networks executives thought the show's 20- and 3-something audience was a little too old for its tastes.
