I'm still wondering why Firefly wasn't shown on cable or first-run syndication from the get-go!
Star Trek: TNG, Stargate SG-1 & Farscape would've been cancelled right away if they'd aired on Fox!

For those who insist that people are only watching reality TV, I would point out that of the top 20 shows (week of 4/11), only 5 are reality shows (and Idol and Dancing are counbted twice each, so it's only 3 shows).
12 of the top 20 are hour-long dramas.
People still like stories. It's just that this one didn't catch on.

I was about to ask "what was that, two episodes?!", but then saw what happened explained.
I do not have cable TV because despite a few educational channels and cartoon networks there really isn't anything out there I would want to watch (except things which have been canceled now.)
This really blows for exposure for Nathan, Tim, et al. Hopefully everyone got paid for the work they did and nobody gets royally pooched.
Surprised?
Not really.

Well, as far as syndication goes, probably becuase the first-run syndication market dried up years ago. All there is now is re-runs of scifi channel shows.

Please forgive me if this is not allowed here.
I don't care if it's allowed or not... They've got Strange Luck on that site! OhMyGhod!!
Thought I'd never see that again!
Thank you sooooo much for the link!
You're an angel!

Already? Wow, with all the hype fux had made for Drive I thought they'd give it at least a season, half tops. And blaming Drive for low ratings on 24 is a rather sorry excuse. I hear 24 has gotten less stellar recently, and well Heroes was on opposite. To say Drive was the reason for low 24 ratings and not having to go against a powerhouse like Heroes makes me think fux doesn't want to admit they're network is slowly bleeding to death. *sigh* Why do Tim and Nathan keep working for them? Contracts. I understand they have standing contracts to work for fux if a show is available and they're asked. Sucks I know.
I feel so sorry for Nate and Tim. Seems none of our BDH's can catch a break. Now I admit to being one of the few who didn't watch it, but damn cancelling so soon, it's just.... it's insanity.
Yes I agree Tim and Joss and company need to get away from the networks, they'll never be able to tell the intellegent stories they want, the only place I can see them working freely is cable. Dead Like Me, Weeds, even The Soprano's all aired on cable and got a heavy following. Maybe for some stories there wouldn't be the kind of budget they're used to, but at least they'd have their chance to write their witty dialogue and not have the threat of cancellation looming over their heads all the time.
This really does suck, and if it weren't for Heroes, and the upcoming season of Eureka, the only tv I'd be watching is cooking shows. Sorry to all the fans for this lousy news.
