Yeah I did. I was gratified to see that both Fry's Electronics and Best Buy were both sold out. I got lucky and found a copy at Wal-Mart. I still can't believe the bastards cancelled the show. What were they thinking?!?! Anyway, happy viewing...Let's hope for Firefly: The Motion Picture.

Funny how the "brain trust" at the Belch and Fart channel didnt understand the show. I wonder if they are scratching their heads at how well the DVD set is selling?
I think it all comes down to a lack of respect for the viewing audience. If management doesnt understand a show, the viewing public must be too stupid to. Granted while I have seen a few posts on this site that border on sheer lunacy and/or a possible serious lack of daylight exposure-We are for the most part far more intelligent than Fox gives us credit for.
I would really love to see your point of view, but I cant get my head up my butt.

Reporting in from the Great White North (Exporter of two Fabulous Firefly actors!). Our "Chapters.ca" - sort of the Canadian rival to Amazon.com - has sold out of the DVD's! Luck me, I preordered!

FAHQ, you have it, utterly, in a nutshell.
We're not the only ones pissed off at the massive disconnect between the ivory-tower crowd and the real world, and the crap programming that results.
Many Italians are so totally fed up with this complete and utter garbage they plan to stage a mass protest, and I say we follow their example.

The only reason I even have a TV now is for my PS2 and DVD player, cause I ain't watchin NONE of this crap.

I went to the local Walmart for a copy the day of release and they didn't have any. Of course, no one even knew what a Firefly was much less knew if they had any in. I had to wait until Best Buy opened. Got there at 12 and there were 2 copies on the shelf that obviously held more at one time.
So, while not sold out, there was definite traffic.
BTW, can someone tell me which episode was the original premier?

Thank you.
Looks even worse there (Italy) than here, hard to believe that it is. Truly a bad situation, but didnt the voting public in Italy know this guy effectively "owned" the media BEFORE they elected him?
I was in a phone discussion with someone a few days ago who referred to what the general public watches as "Cheeto TV". What he meant by that is give people a bag of Cheetos and they will eat until the bag is empty. Kids and adults. We all know what crap Cheetos are, yet we still finish the bag.
Crap sells, quality doesnt. Television is most certainly not aimed at those of above average intelligence, as most of us know. Explain the popularity of the current shows. Take "Friends" for example. Sometimes funny, yes-But compare it to the sitcoms of days past that were rib splittingly hilarious without sexual innuendos, or constant negativity. Even "Ralph Kramden" (If you dont know who the character is, do a search) had good days. How would you explain the (Thankfully now waning) popularity of the WWE (Formerly WWF)? Survivor? Big Brother? Real World? The Bachelor? Need I continue? Oh wait-lets' not forget Average Joe. Where the hell is my BARF bag?
It seems to be all about making somebody else look like an idiot/loser these days.
Well, the networks and sponsors make us all look like idiots and losers now, and the average viewing public is too stupid to realize it.
I dont even have cable TV, and my life isnt lacking. I read books.
Even television news has become an advertisement. I recall a local (Chicago) newscast talking about a show (Something along the lines of American Idol-I dont recall exactly) on their network like it was a news story!
I am going to stop now because if I go any furthere I may injure my back tossing my 32" TV out my apartment window......... Besides, if I do that I wont be able to watch my Firefly and Babylon 5 DVDs'.......
One last thing- We should be pissed off for far more than just Firefly. What Fox did to that wonderful show is only a minor symptom of the problem, and we all know it. Time to look at the BIG picture.
I would really like to see your point of view, but I cant get my head up my butt.

>>my life isnt lacking. I read books.<<
Halle-floggin-looya, someone else remembers how to friggin read.
Of course, these days it's practically a damned thought crime.
Or is it perhaps "thought" IS "crime" these days ? hard to tell with a system rigged to teach us not to think and present and screaming in our ear from cradle to grave... sure seems a crime to think, it's treated like one, without a doubt.

And if you don't get it?
READ A FREAKIN BOOK!

Sold out? No one in the Palo Alto area has even gotten it in yet. Stupid jerks... I have some friends that work at Tower, so I was going to get an employee discount (which, at Tower's prices, would bring it in line with everyone else's normal price) but now, screw it- I'm ordering it from Amazon.
