Yeah, I caught a FireFly episode in early 2003, I don't know if it was the first run over here or not, what I do know is that I didn't watch anymore FireFly episodes for sometime because I found this site immediatly and found out it had been cancelled.

I stopped watching for very much the same reasons as you.

SAAB was an awesome show. Another one hung out to dry by Fox.

I don't think of myself as a lion....
Does that seem right to you?

I just looked up some fan sites for Space Above and Beyond. Appears it too had a rather large following (granted not at the peak of the internet activity). And despite letters written to the FOX people and other TV stations with regards to S:AAB, it never happened.

I for one hope that Firefly gets another shot.

I would highly recommend this show to fellow Browncoats. Pick it up and check it out if you can. I remember catching a few episodes back in it's run and thinking it was pretty good. It stands up really well considering it aired 10 years ago. The effects are even pretty good which compliment the strong writing and performances. Several good guest stars through the first disk alone (don't forget to flip them). Early favorite has to be "Ray Butts".

Ruled as like, better than the new Galactica?
BTW, did you get a DVD set of it over there yet?

Yes, and no.

I mean Gallactica is good, like the best sci-fi currently on TV good, but it's no S:AAB.

Now if S:AAB could be made with the money and technology of Galactica...

Thanks to MAXGREMLIN. S:AAB is on my list every time. Even in the featured music threads (Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash along with a few modern bands at that time were writen into the shows soundtrack). BROWNCOATS abroad should definately see this show.

Fox's thought process:

They get a show, no great ratings but they don't have anything else in the pipeline, so they leave it on for a couple of years.

Lo! and Behold! it develops a following! Pretty soon it's winning its time slot!! Next thing you know it's the highest rated show on Fridays!!!

Fox gets all excited, thinks they have to get these people to do another series for them. Some of the people go "Heck yeah" and write a kick-ass high-budget series. Fox puts it on the air, expecting immediate high ratings. The ratings don't come immediately because it's well written with character-driven arcs that need time to develop.

Fox goes "WTF? Where's the frackin' ratings?" and cancels the show, leaving millions of fans in the dark.

The saga of SAaB.
