Other FOX shows wanted on DVD

With the success of Firefly, one can only hope that we may just get some more short-lived but loved TV series. I especially vote for:Space: Above and Beyond
Created by Glen Morgan and James Wong (who worked on The X-Files ), any sci-fi lover should check this series out. It's about a space Marine fighter squadron that is working to eliminate the alien threat of the Chigs. Cool FX, great characters, and I really miss it.
Profit
Another show that was really short-lived was the 1996 series Profit , created by Angel vet David Greenwalt. It starred Adrian Pasdar as this executive who schemed and evilled his way to the top. The show only ran for a couple of episodes, but I remember it very clearly as something unique and original. How many shows can say that its lead character slept in a cardboard box in his apartment?
Strange Luck
Another cool show, starring D.B. Sweeney as a man who experiences odd occurrences of bad/good luck. He had survived a plane crash as a child and because of it all these things started happening to him. Anyone recall that at the end of the series Chance was a given a name that could have helped him find his missing brother...an FBI agent named Fox Mulder.
Unfortunately, FOX seems to be the type of network that will take a chance on an original show, but doesn't follow through with promoting or nurturing it. It's truly amazing that Firefly got DVDs. There are so many cool shows out there that don't.
