Well, each to their own, but it happens to be one of my favourite things in the history of ever.
I don't like it much, either.
But I don't care that you don't like it, and don't mind that others like it.

At least it's not Half Life 2 again. If you didn't like it, then you're going to garner a lot of hatred from people on the internet. I really liked it personally.
I really like Firefly, it's one of my favourite Sci-Fi shows. However, I can see why some people might not like it.
That said, I get a very similar reaction when I say that I dislike Friends.

Honestly? It was well written and acted with great, realistic characterisation. The characters all had great depth to them and you could sense the potential for immense storylines. It was always going to slowly build up a following and killed-off when it was good instead of great by moronic network execs because it didn't have immediate ratings and wasn't called "world's somethingest something".Alucard788 said:
I watched it after the fact and so it was one of the most wonderful and depressing things I've ever seen. Wonderful because it just was and depressing because I couldn't see how they decided to cancel it.
I like the show, but I can't stand Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Stargate, Babylon 5, and I could go on and on and on.
There are fans that would flay me alive for saying what I just said.
You don't like Firefly. Fine with me. I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you otherwise. I do just hope you'll respect that I do like the show, and the movie, and the comic books.
Edit: As for why I like it (which was more or less your question) I just liked the theme of it. It was a Sci-Fi show that didn't try to fill itself with robots and aliens (closest you ever got were the Reavers and they were technically human) and kept strong with a fair blend of the western genre, which I'm also a fan of.
I thought the cast was funny, each with their own quirks and faults. I dunno what else to say. I just enjoyed watching it.

I hope you are not serious with that you are never the only one.Alucard788 said:
OT: Ok that's nice I liked it you are free to dislike it as long as you have reason more than because. Also the song she doesn't like Firefly is so appropriate for this see post number 29.
I didn't really care for it much either.
Maybe it was because everyone I knew who had seen it hyped it up to being "the most amazing show ever! OMG YOU WILL LOVE IT!". I just never ended up being blown away by it.
Still, my boyfriend really enjoys it and I find the acting pretty good, so it's all right. I just wouldn't opt to watch it by choice.

That's cool, dude. I get annoyed when any fanbase calls somebody a 'freak' for not liking what they like.
I've not watched Firefly, but I've no desire to even try after seeing Serenity. What a waste that was. And don't tell me, Firefly fans, that "oh the movie doesn't do it justice" or blah blah blah, I don't care 
I've never seen the show, but what you're doing is something I like to call "having an opinion." The internet tends to look down upon such an act, but hey, I'm all for it.
Did you watch it while it was still on television?
The reason it was canceled was because FOX aired the episodes in the wrong order. I'm not saying this is why you didn't like it but it could be a contributing factor.
I watched Firefly long after it was gone from television. After the first episode I was hooked and went on a marathon. The characters, the dialogue, the atmosphere, the music. It was all just about perfect for me.

Eh, you're entitled to your opinion. I love the show, and I, like most, wish there was more of it. People who get mad at you for not liking it are taking it a bit too far I reckon. That's their problem, not yours.
So you felt the need to raise a thread about a show that was cancelled almost 10 years ago. Congrats. I loved the show, the movie not so much but Joss Whedon has created so many great things and some people don't like them and to those people I say. Sucks to be you.
