EXCLUSIVE: Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris creators of Brimstone speak - Part I


Every so often, a television show is produced that just changes the way you think what real television is all about. For me, that show was Brimstone. Created by the talented duo Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, Brimstone aired on the FOX network from October 1998 to February of 1999. As you can see, the show didn't last long, 13 episodes to be exact, but what a tremendous 13 episodes they were.
After the cancellation, I joined a campaign to bring the show back to network television. Although the campaign didn't get new episodes produced, we did get the SyFy Channel to show the already aired 13 episodes of the show. During the campaign, I never actually had the chance to speak with Ethan or Cyrus, but that has all changed. They were kind enough to sit down with me for a chat about Brimstone. I think this is the first time in years they have sat down to talk about Brimstone. I can't thank them enough for talking with me about Brimstone and what impact the show had on my life. The sad thing is that television shows such as Brimstone, never got the opportunity to grow and shine on network TV, but the show still lives on with thousands of fans who would love nothing more for Brimstone to come back. Brimstone was, in my opinion, is one of the top 10 shows of all time. If you haven't seen the show, I suggest you find a way to get it and watch it. You also will become and instant fan. Sit back and enjoy my conversation with Ethan & Cyrus.
**P.S. For some reason, the recording on my end wasn't cooperating with me and the sound is a bit distorted in parts, but I think it's a small price to pay to hear these outstanding gentlemen speak about Brimstone.
