Posted October 17, 200717 yr Watched the whole series again recently to educate some mates who hadn't. Anyone else believe that FOX studios are the root of all evil (sorry evilrooter no link intended) for cancelling this show? I still can't believe it myself... If you haven't seen it, watch it. Now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series)#Reception Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
October 17, 200717 yr Couldn't agree more. I loved firefly and serenity so much I actually bought them instead of torrenting them.

October 17, 200717 yr Considering some of the crap that gets renewed for multiple seasons its difficult to understand what FOX was thinking unless budget was an issue? Does anyone remember Space: Above & Beyond? Not sure if Fox was involved but it suffered a similar fate. While it did last for 1 season more than Firefly it left on a major cliffhanger with half the main characters MIA or presumed dead. At least with Firefly we got a movie and a fairly decent one too. http://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/teamwork1.gif
October 17, 200717 yr Dark Angel is another example of FOX canceling really good shows and pissing me off, it only had only 2 seasons and ended on a huge cliffhanger.
October 17, 200717 yr death to FOX praise to Sci-Fi Channel http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p198/firehawk88/siggg-1.png Jack In Kick Ass
October 17, 200717 yr Dark Angel is another example of FOX canceling really good shows and pissing me off, it only had only 2 seasons and ended on a huge cliffhanger. shows that include a hottie who regularly wore leather should never be cancelled.
October 17, 200717 yr FOX is not the root of all evil, it is infact a evil super syndicate of evil super villians. Don't even get me started on FOX News god what a load of crap that is seriously they had CHUCK NORRIS as a stand in for one of there stick anchor's. Firefly is a great series, the movie did a great job of wrapping it up and showing how much arse summer could kick. As was Dead Like Me another show that FOX killed if I'm not mistaken. There are a number of other great series FOX has forever killed and lets not forget FUTURAMA I mean really what were they thinking.

October 17, 200717 yr I'd give props to Fox for even giving it a pilot in the first place. Firefly on script would sound like a show that would never get made. http://users.on.net/hindes/thephotoshop_sig1.gif http://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/squadleader.gifhttp://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/stealth.gifhttp://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/singapore.jpghttp://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/valour.gifhttp://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/spec_hat.gif
October 17, 200717 yr Author It could have been the new 'grittier' star trek. Same premise - a crew with personality flying around space doing stuff. In fact, in many ways it was the sci-fi opposite - scruffy loser crew, rusty little old ship running illegal goods, 'scotty' was a chick ...sigh... Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
October 17, 200717 yr Firefly on script would sound like a show that would never get made. Have you ever seen Dexter from Showtime. Now that would be a hard sell. http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do "Yeah we have a serial killer who works for the Miami Police Department as a blood splatter expert and spends his time hunting and killing bad guys who slip through the justice system. But Dexter's world is shaken when another serial killer commits a riveting series of perfect slayings. Its based on the book Dissecting Dexter by Jeff Lindsay." See it if you get the chance. So how do you become an expert suicide bomber? teabagging is for kids .... Real Men "Potato Sack".
October 17, 200717 yr 'scotty' was a chick ...sigh... Is it just me, or is Kaylee (Jewel) really really attractive, in some completely intangible way, she doesn't conform to the things guys would stereotypically go after in a girl, they even told her to PUT ON weight for the role. I just can't pinpoint it... probably just me lol. @Photo then again look at what happened when George Lucas wanted to do Star Wars. Most companies laughed in his face. Although they really should have passed laws or something to stop him from making (read ruining) the 3 prequels. Edited October 17, 200717 yr by mrchickenfool
October 17, 200717 yr Wanna talk about shows they never should have cancelled? Deadwood. Who cancels a show after it's best season? American TV has knobs on it. Here is a list of particularly awesome things: dogs sniping very spicy chilli cat claws on people (but still cool on cats)
October 17, 200717 yr I did like deadwood,but now due to R/l and the time restraints it puts on "spare time",I watch bugger all TV... (could the the amount of time I spend infront of the computer but...) http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/bahlye/bahlye007/mouse_zps73307fb2.gif
October 17, 200717 yr That's what torrents are for. Enjoy your favorite series where ever and whenever you want. The epps are add free too so that saves you 15 mins of crap per episode..
October 17, 200717 yr They cancelled Deadwood BURN THEM, BURN THEM ALL !!! http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
October 17, 200717 yr They cancelled Deadwood BURN THEM, BURN THEM ALL !!! What season did they get up to? I watched till half way through season 3, just never got around to watching the rest.
October 18, 200717 yr I have season 1 to 3 thats all they have released here, I only watch a few of them on actual cable. I'm not sure how much more there is to the series guess I'll have to look into it. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
October 18, 200717 yr does anyone actually know why they aired the firefly episodes out of order? cause that was the only reason for the bad ratings initially... people were confused and so had no idea who the characters were or what was going on with Summer etc.
October 18, 200717 yr Author I reckon they left out some of the more contentious episodes (ie trash, beraking into a hositpal for drugs). Dont know why they changed the others around...but I blame FOX 100% for the show not being a success. The cast were excellent IMO. Kaylee is/was a fox. Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
October 18, 200717 yr does anyone actually know why they aired the firefly episodes out of order? cause that was the only reason for the bad ratings initially... people were confused and so had no idea who the characters were or what was going on with Summer etc. One word for you: Executives.
October 18, 200717 yr I believe there is a explanation in the director/crew commentary on the series DVD look it up the interweb will have answers. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
October 18, 200717 yr does anyone actually know why they aired the firefly episodes out of order? Well no! im a big firefly fan too! downloaded them when they were first released in the states then bought the box set when it was released! i have no idea why they did that but it stands to reason why it was axed cause people didnt understand wat was goin on then they did re runs and in the right order and it got a massive cult following! it was axed half way through the first season thats why there is only 12 episodes no like 20+ like most series!! serenity, the movie, was basically the last few episodes! (though most of the episode were written after each successful episode aired, but im sure josh wheadon had a plan!) i loved it cause it was star trek meets han solo meets john wayne westerns! werid but a great combo in the end! thats my say ...... and has anyone heard if there making a 2 more movies. there was a whisper that if the serenity was a success then 2 more would follow! or the other that they would restart a 2nd series! but thoughs things always surface dont they weather there true or not!
