Firefly cancelled?
Zap2it reports…
‘Firefly’ to go on hiatus as FOX shuffles midseason
FOX President of Entertainment Gail Berman calls it a "transitional year."
I call it a bunch of bullsh*t. FOX is notorious for taking potentially great sci-fi shows (Futurama, Space: Above and Beyond, Alien Nation, and Millenium, for example) and shafting them with:
a) bad time slots
b) time slots affected by their beloved sports
c) no advertising
d) all of the above
So they’re putting ‘Firefly’ on hiatus, which everyone knows really means it’s cancelled. They refer to possibly putting the show back into production, but who knows if that’ll happen – if the show is taken out of production, then the folks involved need to find new jobs, and if they get a call-back from FOX, they may not actually come back – they’re not all as dumb/desperate as I was when I got canned the first time…

It’s so true: FOX never gives the intelligent shows a chance. It’s no wonder FOX “has been struggling to perform” this past season. This show has/had so much potential! Not only were each of the characters interesting in their own right, (I really wanted to know their stories!) but this cast really worked so very well together. You can’t find that in too many new shows. They even appealed to many non-scifi viewers (my spouse included). But they are not in their own ‘Twilight Zone’ of bad decisions alone, as “Joe Millionaire” — who thought it would be a good idea to air that???!

Firefly was the only show worth watching on T.V. John Doe is o.k but it’s gotten to the point of
same old thing over and over.
Firefly was something new and exciting every week, as we learned more about the characters and their past.
It’s a shame when a good show gets cancelled. It’s always the good shows that get canclled!!!
Everything about this show to me was perfect!!
I just hope :
A: Fox will start it up again
or
B: another broadcaster will take it over without changing it.

The show was fantastic, gritty, got you involved; I can’t beleive they’ve shortchanged us again. Maybe the SciFi chanell can pick it up – it’s only 2nd to Farscape. You know the concervatives control Fox – maybe it was getting too liberal for their programmers!

I can believe the show is gone. Thanks a lot you narrowminded FOX executives.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m afraid to get into a new show that I really like, because I know that it’ll get cancelled as soon as it displays the potential to be great – anyone remember Titus?
Firefly was the best show I’ve seen in at least 10 years. All I see now on tv are these lame assed “reality based” shows that do little more than use up precious air time and feed the brain dead for an hour.
These damn network execs spend so much time shoving nose-candy up their orafices, they have no idea what a good story is!
Bastards.
