I'm gonna go with sloth and pride.
Sloth, because not taking the time to really observe the show and reflect on it's probable future popularity, or the time and resources to properly promote it, was just plain lazy.
Pride, because that is probably one factor that stopped them from giving up the rights. They don't want it to become the mega-smash it deserves to be because they'd end up looking stupid.

Too late for that (looking stupid that is)

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.

you bring up a good point about Star Trek TNG but also X Files had a shakey start and they stuck with it because the critics liked it. i am still surprised it made it on FOX. not to mention other shows that they gave extended chances. arrested developement for instance is funny but has poor ratings and they gave it 3 seasons. i think the bigwigs at FOX just aren't shiny when it comes to scifi/fantasy. if you notice thier line up is centered around bad sitcoms and reality TV. the only show i watch on FOX anymore is Family Guy which they cancelled twice already. we need a network with vision to pick up firefly.

Pride and Sloth were the first to come to my mind too.

Because I am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy?
Capitalism.
I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on Aisle Three. My wormhole technology... and a free set of steak knives... for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me... welcome to my cold war.

Well, one thing's for certain. The Execs....that cancelled Firefly... are going to a special level of hell. A Hell reserved for child molestors and people who talk at the theater....

Hell, I would go down to the cable company and have them give me cable TV instead of just Internet, and pay the monthly fees outta my pocket to see new episodes of Firefly. And after I'd seen all of the new season, I'd buy it when it came out on DVD, even with the tapes I'd make. And I know I'm not the only one.

Nope, you are not alone. I think we'd ALL do that.

I was going to say that Fox's sin is INBREEDING, but I like the optimistic tone this thread has taken.

No need to be fair when it comes to Fox.

This seems to be a popular idea. Maybe we should create an all new level of

, one specifically reserved for

execs.

I have to believe that somewhere in the halls of FOX, someone is yelling, "JOHNSON! What in the hell is this five-year-old series that is outselling "Lost" on DVD, and why was it cancelled?!?! Whoever was responsible, I want his head on a PLATTER!"
