MSN Entertainment has an interesting article about the top 10 canceled shows of all time and it listed Firefly as #6! The link is http://entertainment.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=150652 if anyone is interesting in reading it. It doesn't really say anything new, I just thought that it was good that the media is still talking about how excellent Firefly was and how stupid it was to cancel it a year after cancellation.

Cool. Now all we need is for the word to keep being spread

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah, you, FOX TV!!

While it's great that there is a list out there to recognize these shows after the fact, I find it incredibly depressing to realize just how many of my all time faves have been canned before they really got going.

Number six ain't half bad considering some of the other shows on the list...

if you've never seen "The Ben Stiller Show", "Sports Night" or "Mr. Show" you've truly missed out on some of the greatest comedy ever produced for the small screen...if you're lucky you can still catch the first two in the wee hours of the morning on comedy central.

The only show on the list that I disagree with is "News Radio" which, while it started off great, certainly fell into standard sitcom formulae by the end of the second season. Not that it wasn't network tinkering that destroyed it, but the quality of the show over the last few years was poor enough for me to agree it was time to put that baby to bed.

enough.

NR doesn't belong clearly, not even in spirit. And where the hell are Sliders and Brisco?

Someone forgot to tell these folks about "Andy Richter Controls the Universe". I'm not sure because there were so few episodes but it might have been even funnier than Simpsons or South Park. All I know is it allways had minimum of 3 laugh out loud moments and as many as eight in a half hour period.

As far as "The Tick" goes the show was good but check out the cartoon version it is way funnier.

Ah, how I miss ARCTU. Definitely an instant classic.

And I totally agree about the cartoon version of The Tick. There is just no better way to show The Tick fighting Dinosaur Dan.

The tick CARTOON was so hilarious, one of my childhood favorites.

Andy Richter Controls the universe was sooo funny! The episode about his friends tiny feet was hilarious! so was the one with Conan guest starring as Andy's psychotic boss!
