That's what a tivo is for.
I'll watch a show, and during the 1st comercial break I'll go pee or make a snack or whatever. Then I'll fast forward through the comercials. I also get to use it to record stuff to watch later.
I never used to watch TV at all, but I'm on and off bed rest and you can only hum for so long before you run out of songs.

I've got to agree with this - it's hard to compare one season of Firefly with seven/five of Buffy/Angel. The characters in the earlier shows grew so much over the years, for better or for worse and the tone changed too as the shows got darker (Seeing Red for instance). Some us liked the changes, some of us didn't.

Whose to say how Firefly would have turned out if it had run for several years - many of the threads here are pretty negative about the latter seasons of Buffy. Maybe Firefly would have gone the same way - would someone as creative have Joss been happy to have stuck to just one show? Chances are he'd develop a new project which would take him away from Firefly - and the flaws of Buffy & Angel's last seasons are commonly attributed to Joss being preoccupied with Firefly.

Buffy & Angel will always mean more to me because I spent 8 years watching those shows. Firefly's like James Dean - died too soon but will always be remembered as something great.

Nice to see you again chrissisall,
It is my firm belief that Buffy, Angel and Firefly are equal in all aspects. In my unqualified opinion Joss is truely a god, in a writer, director, producer kind of way. oh and in terms of Howard Stern, that would have been the one time I would believe what he says.

modest buffy, Angel fan,

Well in terms of a space-ship versus a slayer? I'm going to have to say that any Firefly class ship could smoosh a slayer any day.
