I noticed some new members today. They show up on the chat and ask, "WHY DID THEY CANCEL IT? It was SOOOOO good!"
Well, they all find the answer to be simple and horrible. It just did, because good has no place on TV, except by happy accident.
I thought it would be fun to let the answer give us some fun. Here is the idea, make up one sentence that explains why the show was canceled. It must be a fictional answer, it must be clean, and if it gives us a smile? That would be good to. My examples:
The reavers ate the scripts.
The animal symbol of the the Blue Sun Corporation is a fox.

Because reality shows are actually better than any other show; millions of americans can't be wrong!

Because Fox is run by trained apes, without the training.

Because it was too "conservative" for FOX's "liberal minded media."
Because a major exec's daugher had the hots for Nathan Fillion. ("We can't have that! Not in THIS house! I better cancel that show...")
Because they were jealous it got better ratings than "Malcolm In the Middle." (I hear Frankie Muniz was threatening to strike!)

Why was FIrefly cancelled ? I'll tell you why....
Because good shows must not be allowed to survive, and are cancelled, two by two. FIrefly and John Doe never had a prayer.

"Because the voices in my head tell me to cancel good shows... they tell me to do bad things..." -Fox executive staring creepily into bathroom mirror.

Because it was too "conservative" for FOX's "liberal minded media." - Billyuno
Or, alternatively...
"Because it was too "liberal" for Fox's "conservative minded media."
It was probably both that AND your suggestion Billyuno. "We can't tell where this show is coming from! So it says it likes guns, but that corporations are bad? Is it some sort of commie NRA member or something?" - confused Fox exec shaken mightily by DIFFERENT OPINIONS & VIEWPOINTS on one show. One of the reasons I love Firefly is that it speaks to the best qualities in both right and left leaning people, and those who want to spend some quality time alone in their bunks.
And your second one cracked me up!

(In a bar)
Me: "Why did you cancel Firefly?"
Fox exec: "Are you crazy? We never cancelled it! It quickly became hugely popular and went on for another two critically acclaimed series, ending perfectly at the exact right moment and leaving the exciting prospect of a feature film in early 2005!"
Me: "Erk! Wow! No, wait! Too strange. Tell me... wait... tell me who's President of the United States?"
Fox exec: "Wha... don't you know? Morgan Freeman of course! He was swept into power after they passed the 'Unflappable Dignified Statesman' bill in 2004."
Me: "A paralell universe! Aieee!"
