yes, it deserved to be canned, because fox said so. They are the masterminds that cancelled Family Guy and Futurama for King of the Hill. Thats right King of the god damn hill. But if Fox said so then they must be right, and another thing Simpsons has sucked since like season 5. While FireFly was the best thing to happen to Tv since Alias.

So, you're basically saying that because Fox has no clue about what it's doing, that it only falls in line w/ their woeful track record that Firefly 'should' have been cancelled?

Gee, I suppose so. I guess. Sorta. Maybe.

Umm.....?

Makes sense. Fox had to cancel Firefly because it made the rest of their lineup seem so painfully awful. How can anyone watch American Idol after an episode of Firefly??

Um... before spouting faulty logic presumably (poorly) laced with sarcasm at least get facts straight...

Futurama [1999-2003]
Family Guy [1999-2002/present]
King of the Hill [1997-present]

REALLY hard to cancel two shows that weren't started until 1999 and replace it with a show started in 1997.

After seeing this thread again, I was struck at the use of the word 'deserved'. It seemed odd to me, and then I remembered this -

Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them....? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Oh, wait.. maybe we can give life to those who have died...The Family Guy, Serenity. But those are extremely rare cases. I should clarify that the quote I used is directed toward the pin heads at FOX TV. Yeah, that's it.

I completely agree. Family Guy, Futurama, and of course Firefly, were the best damn shows on tv. Fox are idiots. While I don't hate King of the Hill (like my boyfriend does) it really does pale in comparison to all the aforementioned masterpeices. And after watching all of my Firefly DVDs very recently, I turned on the tv a couple of days ago and American Idol had started yet another season. Cannot bring myself to even attampt to sit through it. Ugh. So much crap.

By the way...this is my first ever post...how do I get emoticons and also commands attached to my signature? Yes, I'm a loser.

must not respond must not respond....

I'm not even entirely sure whether this thread is trollism or not...hum.

Personally, I love both King of the Hill and Simpsons. I honestly don't agree that Simpsons hasn't been good since season 5. Everyone I know still laughs their asses off at it.

I do agree that Fox makes some horrible decisions. Like, there can be multiple seasons of The Swan, and we can have Who's My Daddy, but Firefly, heck no!
