Okay, seriously, look at these previews. FOX has the absolute worst possible advertising ever! No one wanted to watch it because of these trailers! Wrong music (Rock and Roll and Metal in 2517? I think not!) wrong scenes (I swear that it shows the Reavre Ship breaking Atmo on Whitefall in the "Jaynestown" trailer) the announcer isn't even trying to sound serious, they call Inara "A Cosmic Hooker" (She's a COMPANION) and in the ones where they talk about the characters, they don't even MENTION Zoe, Simon, Book, and Kaylee! How could Fox do this!?

Yeah most of them are not very good but I didn t think the one when u click on "Train Job" was too bad though.

I still remember the "girl in a box" one, which made no sense because they didn't show the pilot until after the show was canceled.

'Course that one doesn't show anything from the train job.
It's all stuff from the pilot that they didn't bother to air till LAST.
No wonder people couldn't figure out what was going on...

I'm wondering what the trailers on Sci-Fi Channel look like. Betcha tenn buck they're better than that crap.

They don't work well with the show, bringing in the wrong sort of people to watch it, but they seem like normal ads for a tv series, not horrible, not that bad, just don't go with the show.
EDIT: In one of the Serenity (Pilot) ones, did it call Jayne "Jenny"?

Most of them seemed pretty wrong. The Jaynestown one seems okay, but ONLY if you'd seen the show before. Otherwise it wouldn't work I don't think.
I can't view the train job one here(too lazy to install codecs)

I remember seeing the "girl in a box" ads. And I remember seeing ads that ended with the shot of Serenity flying over horses. I specifically remember that one because that was the moment during the ad when they said it was a Joss Whedon show. Which of course, is the ONLY reason my husband and I watched the first episode. (We were hooked from then on of course...)
