Meh, I don't watch TV anyway. So I say TOTALLY!
Seven years might be a little long; how about "However long it can reasonably be while staying good and not jumping any sharks"? I know, I know... But every show does it eventually if it's on too long. Maybe it would make it seven years. That would be shiny.

The only shows I take time to watch are Rescue Me and The OC and I'd give 'em up in a heartbeat.

Well, in the same heartbeat Chrisisall, absolutely!

I'm risking a lot here too folks.. my daughter loves Lost the way I love Firefly...oooo would she be mad. But she'd come around after a few eps... I'm sure of it.

I love Firefly. I really, really do. It's one of the best things that's happened to me. Honest.

The problem here is, you would be asking me to give up House. Aside from Firefly, that is my heroin. Hugh Laurie ranks second in outright coolness after our captain. I could give up Lost, Bones, Las Vegas, and The 4400 (even though the new season looks really shiny). But House? That strong a person I am not.

So I suppose I could give up almost everything. Just not House.

I'd have to go with "yes". Especially if the blackout applied only to fiction series (which includes reality shows, IMHO). We'd still have our sports, news, science and historical documentaries, and This Old House (no, not that House).

For those with addictions to other shows: if Firefly were the only thing on the air, a lot of good actors would be looking for recurring roles along with our BDHs. I could imagine Hugh Laurie showing up as Simon's old mentor at the medacad, possibly now on the outs with the Alliance.

Oh, the story lines...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree on any particular point.

I love Simon, I really do, but I don't think he would have survived a day working for House. Not that the captain is much better in that regard, but I truly think it would drive Simon insane. On the other hand, I can see House on the outs with the Alliance. He never has been one for following orders.

I don't know if I'd be willing to give up the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica but everything else can go!

Where are the true Browncoats, FollowMal?

14 to 7 for. One third here say no...

Like anything, even BSG, Lost or House could equal our BDH's...?


SEVEN SEASONS OF FF WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD!
