It was a stupid move on fox but its just been too long to revive firefly I wouldn't mind a spin off if it was set in the same universe a decade after the movie serernity get a new crew and cap'n in as long as there just as masterfully written as the previous crew and also not just carbon copys of the first crew but now I'm just dreaming.
Fingers crossed that NZ tv airs it. If not.....well.....ill just 'acquire' it...somehow...zHellas said:

Its because after agreeing to spend the money on a semi-pricey space opera given that the genre is (and was), at the moment, rather vacant on national TV fox was surprised that when they gave it a friday night time slot no one watched it, or so much as took notice of it. And then fox complained that it was too expensive.
Nice limerick Vivadelkitty, I love it alot!vivadelkitty said:
It's a shame they messed up with a show like this, it could have been great. Best hope now would be to air it on Adult Swim and hope that someone picks it up and brings it back to life like Family Guy and of course Futurama (the far better of the two).
As others have said, Fox gave it poor time slots, and showed other events during those time slots. Additionally, it was aired out of order to satisfy the studio executives, poorly promoted and moved around. The same thing happened to Space: Above and Beyond. So the lesson to take away from this is Fox is hell on SciFi shows.
Sidenote, Syfy doesn't show science fiction anymore, just horror, and while I know some book stores and video categories combine the two, ten frigging hours of Ghost Hunters is not the way to run a network that made its name on shows like Farscape, Lexx and The Invisible Man! There's more SciFi on the frigging BBC America!

Awww, crap, I'd always figured it'd done ok but I just checked its wiki page and apparently it didn't even make back its budget (although it was very close to). Suppose a film like that isn't the type to dominate the box office for long though.Furburt said:
Unfortunately it's simply been too long. The show was really starting to hit it's stride, I'm pretty sure a second season would make my head explode through sheer awesomness.
What kind of retarded network airs a show all over the place and out of order, and is surprised when ratings drop?
Gah!
They didn't even show serenity (the episode that is) first, of course people would be confused if they were just dumped in the second episode.

Ret-con? Please? But yeah, Serenity is the holy grail of WTF cancels. My favourite show of all time.manythings said:
