Having announced their Fall lineup, FOX has finally made their cancellation of 'Firefly' official.

Also gone is FOX's 'John Doe,' which followed 'Firefly' on Friday nights when both series premiered last Fall.

Nothing surprising, but I hate to see the official word!

It's funny, when John Doe first came out I really liked it.

Once Firefly was gone, I realized I didn't like it -- I was just in such a good mood from watching Firefly, that John Does just basked in the glory!!

Fox execs wouldn't know a good show if it come up and bit 'em on the ass.

Same here.

Looks like we won't be seein' them unaired eps air this summer.

After next tuesday I won't be watching Fox anymore. Hey, I heard Fastlane was lookin' at the sharp end of the ax. Can anyone confirm that, so I can start dancin' on its grave?

DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

I don't trust Fox anymore. They cancel everything I like. Firefly was just the last straw. SciFi on tv seems to be a failing art form these days. Fox has better taste in shows then other networks but I'm tired of starting new ones with them.

Seems like I read somewhere that Fastlane was dropped as well. Hope it's true. Hate to be spiteful, but why should that get to stay on the air when Firefly was cancelled?

Yep, here it is:

I actually saw John Doe before I even heard of Firefly, and I really liked it.

John Doe just started over here, nice to know I'm watching yet another show that's already cancelled anyway.. although after having seen Firefly, pretty much every other show just seems bland and lifeless..

Wasn't the deal that Fox had all the first-run rights to Firefly, meaning no one could air the unaired episodes, until they did? Also, basing this on half-remembered anecdotes, this might free up the rights for video, DVD and almost certainly shopping it to other networks.

This might be a blessing in disguise.
