I agree. If anything, they were saying it was the opposite of trash, given that the earlier statements were that the robot did the opposite of what it was told.

Space Above and Beyond, which Fox not only cancelled, Chris Carter killed off almost everyone in the last episode so no one like the Scifi Channel could pick it up.

Acctually, this is the second time Firefly was mentioned in a show; if you count the first episode of the return of Family Guy. Peter tells his family that they have been cancelled. Lois then asks if there is ever a chance that they will return. And Peter says only if such shows as..blah blah blah Firefly...blah blah blah (he mentions like 15 or more shows) get cancelled then they might have a chance.
I so love references to my favorite shows within eachother. Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling that you are watching shows that are speaking to you. I know that is lame.

Here, here!

I LOVED easily 70% of the shows on that list and you're right the-network-that-shall-not-be-named has shot themselve in the foot so many times it's not even funny!

Arrested development, (while not cancelled yet) has been on the chopping block almost since day one. IMHO it's a miracle that they got a full season, much less two...

Wonderfalls I think got 4 episodes before they canned it, and it was ALSO shown out of order, innovative, well written, and different...

Greg the bunny was HILARIOUS! I think it was a little bit to "out there" though for the public... :(

The point I'm trying to make is that, the FOX talent screeners can spot a decent show.

but the execs are more willing to make "when squrills(sp) attack IV" (YES, it was a real show)...

JAAAAAAAAAAAYNE! The man they call JAAAAAAAAAAAYNE!

Boy, that must of pissed off Glen Morgan and James Wong big time!

To be fair, there was only one character killed off for sure...

That was a great show!

You know, I'm an idiot. I don't know why I was thinking Carter. It's been so long since it went off. One character was in a damaged ship, looking like it was going to disintegrate in a planet's atmosphere, the colonel had a limb blown off. I thought it really did kill it for anyone picking it up.

I also had made that mistake about Chris Carter before (that's why I couldn't resist ribbing ya). I think it's because the show was touted as "From the makers of X-Files" or something to that effect and that of course makes ya think CHRIS CARTER...

I think at the time I read it somewhere. Nonetheless it was a shame it wasn't continued.

I wouldn't give FOX too much credit for giving Arrested Development more or less time. It's ratings aren't great, but the DVD sales are good, and hit a VERY sought-after demographic of young professionals. I think they decided to keep it around largely to see if that group would start watching the live show.

wounderfalls, that was such a great show. :) Even the theme song was cool. What is it with TV stations, they kill of all the good shows and let crap take its place. I know it wan't the station that shall not be mentioned, but I remember when Roswell was switched from station to station, and finally canceled, also in the middle of a season. What crap did WB put on instead? The OC.

If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.
