Most definately, take a look at what Fastlane is offering in Firefly's timeslot.

The boys of "Fastlane" have stripped down to their skivvies to seduce their female targets. On Friday, Jan. 17, Billie will go undercover to infiltrate a gang of lesbian women who have a habit of burglarizing homes.
Wait a minute. Didn't Firefly serve up similar, but with more class?
Burglary - check.
Buff naked bodies - check.
Seduction - check.
Woman/Woman action - check.
Not to mention the fact that the Serenity will make any high performance vehicle on Fastlane eat her glowing behind.

Just goes to show what happens when you actually PROMOTE a show. They've been advertising that damn thing on every station out there, constantly. They've shown so many damn commercials, that I almost feel compelled to watch it, and I hate Fox and the think the entire concept is the lamest, most ridiculous concept for television outside of f/x's "most dangerous police chase" type shows.
Fox Sucks rank dead @$$. But I'm not bitter.... (sorry, that was incredibly rude... I apologize if I have offended. Just pissed at the lame-asses who would come up with this crap and cancel firefly.)

Well aren’t you just sneaky with the subtext.

Yeah, too bad the minds at Fox couldn't be bothered to advertise Firefly more. Guess that reality shows being the trend now in network TV, it will be that demographic that is targeted by Fox.

Please remember....Fox nor any other network has the money. We do. Ultimatly no network survives without viewers. I think a stronger statement then random rants and even pleasent postcards is turning off your tv. Until networks understand that the public would rather watch nothing then crap they will continue to give us crap. How many even leave their tv on when they aren't even in the room?
Joe Millionere, Fast Lane, American Idol...none of these shelved Firefly....Dumb ass viewers who would rather watch a test pattern then turn off the set are responsible.

Unfortunately, it seems, that the public would rather watch something like "Joe Millionaire" than a genre series like "Firefly," which sort of begs the question of whether viewers of shows like "Firefly," "Farscape," and the numerous permuation of Trek are "non-mainstream."
I mean, I believe I belong to the general public, unfortunately, what I tend to watch in addition to what the general public watches says otherwise. Does that make me somehow peculiar from, say, my wife, who enjoys watching "Friends" and "ER" (which I also enjoy watching, at least ER anyway), but will have nothing to do with "Farscape" or "Firefly?"
So, do you all feel non-mainstream? I certainly don't.

The "mainstream" seems a lot more like my ex-roomie. Lots of sitcoms, romantic comedies, partying on weekends. Doesn't really care about the current issues of the day - "so long as they don't affect me."
And here I am, sending letters to congress so often the local congress critter started sending something other than the standard form letter. Here I am writing fanfic and limiting my TV watching to 2 shows - Earth: Final Conflict and X-Files (I was working on a crossover).
She asks me why I like "that weird sci-fi shit"
"Because I like my stories to have bigger issues than ' how can I save face' or 'who gets laid tonight?' - that's why. Sci-fi stuff sometiems gets into the good stuff - ethics, metaphysics, philosophy. Sex in the City...just doesn't seem to."

Hey Allronix! I think I have your old roomate! My roomate's always bugging me about how I'm a weirdo for liking genre stuff. She's always watching sitcoms (ack!) and talkshows (ackackack!); she doesn't know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars; and she had nightmares just from seeing the tv spots for "Signs".
Just goes to show you what good those houseing forms are. I specifically remember checking AND circling "scifi" under the "Special Interests" section.

Skull Ninja
Executive Director of Reality Programming
FUX Studios.
I just thought up a good idea for your new job.
Face the Consequences: As the saying goes, "Don't dish it out if you can't take it." So in this groundbreaking new reality show, real TV programming executives will be locked in a house for a month with fans of cancelled scifi shows. The widow(s) of the last surviving executive will receve money and other prizes.
.... and, becasue I'm feeling inspired, here's another concept:
Blackmail: Inspired by the classic Monty Python comedy skit, this part gameshow, part reality show is hoasted by John Cleese. The first episode: Anna Nichole Smith and Jonny Knoxville eat Fox programming executives' pet goldfish one-by-one on live television until the executives phone in and agreee to pick up Firefly. And give Joss Whedon a written appology. Try to guess how long it takes!

?We cannot duplicate this show. It?s a one-time-only thing,? - Fox Entertainment Network President Gail Berman on Joe Millionaire
Hadn't seen this so I was compelled to comment...
Essentially to sum up, Berman admits to cancelling Firefly to replace it with a show that won't last through the summer; it's basically canceled before it airs and they know it.
What kind of gorram logic is that!?!!?
Logic enough for me to make it my sig...(lol)

Let's HOPE they can't duplicate it. There's enough crap out there without Joe Millionaire 2.
