I was cleaning out one of my dresser drawers today, and came across 3 t.v. guides. Well, I was interested why I kept them so I started thumbing through them. Then I look at the date and see October 26- November 1, 2002. So I flip to see if Firefly was in there, and see this:

Now I understand what you guys mean when you say it wasn't advertised right. With crew explanations like that, who is going to take the time to find out what an awesome show is behind the horrible advertisment!?

Who ever made this one should be fed to the space monkeys.

I wanna meet some AZ Firefly fans!

Marketing people don't know what to do with anything original. It's a pretty screwed up dysfunction really, because it's not that hard to figure out. Hell the fans made better ads in their spare time. What gives?

Even now, you look at the cover for the Serenity DVD and wonder if the idiots who made it even bothered to watch the movie. Llamas?? Slut-Goth River???

I heard the movie did really well with the llama demographic.

Well... I reckon they got 1/4 right... "The tough guy is named Jayne" is not bad.

The joke of Jayne's name is lost in print. It's funny because it's a homophone, printed out it just looks like some quirky new space name.
I do like 'The preacher packs a punch' and 'The captain is an outlaw' which actually show some irony, unlike 'The hooker is high class' it's like, yeah...and?

What about "The engineer is a total hottie"

and

"The doctor likes his manners"

or even

"The doctor's sister wears frilly dresses!"

but my favorite made up one is

"The pilot is so crazy he talks to dinosaurs!"

The commercials that aired on Fox are what kept me away... I kept looking at the commercials saying "what the heck is that?" And, now I am in love with it. Rented Serenity, borrowed Firefly, and I just ordered both. I wish I had gotten into this series when it was on the air, but Fox just didn't know what to do with it. They are notorious for destroying fan favourites because they don't know how to cope with something "different" or "unique."

If you don't like llamas, "your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat."
