I'd hate to be the FOX executive who was responsible for helping to cancel this show.

He's probably working at an I-Hop right now.

Great vision, great writing, great plot twists, great sets, great sfx, great performances.

(How great are his omelets I wonder?)

Anyway, yeah, no wonder all the fans and those with an intelligence quotient above 45 supported this series, and produced a full length feature motion picture in the process.

(I wonder if blue gloves made a movie?)

Sometimes art and money just don't mix. And sometimes money just falls flat on it's big fat F-ing face.

OMG . words from the horses mouth:

"Canceling 'Firefly' was as difficult as anything I'd ever been involved in because Joss and I had been creative partners at one time ... I worked with him very closely on this particular show and when it didn't perform [in the ratings], having to cancel it was very difficult.
"If I had to do it over again, I might have reconsidered it but I'm not sure it would have changed anything," she said. "It was a numbers things. It was a wonderful show and I loved it and I loved working with him on it but that was a big show, a very expensive show and it wasn't delivering the numbers."

"wasn't delivering the numbers"
Dont give it an ever changing late night time slot and air episodes out of order then ffs!
