    Canceled Firefly?

  • #2
    A little late to start being concerned, isn't it?

    Although Whedon had designed the show to run for seven years,[80] and the show had a loyal following during its original broadcast,[81] low ratings resulted in cancellation by Fox in December 2002 after only eleven episodes had aired in the United States and Canada.[82]

      The dumbasses at FOX aired the episodes out of order. The two hour pilot wasn't aired until December. Without the pilot, you never really understand how things came about. Alot of people never caught on because of this. I have the DVDs for this and it is probably my all time favorite show.

        It is possibly my favorite show of the 200X, and that includes BSG.

            the question is - why didn't anyone pick it up, except for the movie followup?

              Good question!
              I only picked it up after seeing Serinty.

                I can't see them ever bring it back after the movie filled in most of the plot holes and killed off some of the key characters.

                What a waste!


                Damn good show!!!!!

                  Easy. Most networks realized that a space western with quirky dialogue would be a niche program in the ratings, at best.

                      I enjoyed it too, but only came across it after watching Serenity, which made the experience a bit odd.

                      Why do people cancel the good stuff and spew out **** like Lost instead...!?
                      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                            I place BSG over it, but only barely. GREAT series!

                              Well.... Whedon is known for killing off main characters. He even killed off Buffy for a whole season, IIRC!
