15. FIREFLY/SERENITY (2002/2005)
Created by Joss Whedon

In 2002, Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon attempted to reinvent the space opera with a rough-and-tumble vision of the future set in an Earth-colonized galaxy. Part Western, part sci-fi, wholly unique, Firefly starred Nathan Fillion as the captain of Serenity, one of those dumpy old ships that don't look like much but get the job done. The TV series tracked the misadventures of his morally ambiguous crew as they tried to make an occasionally honest living by hauling cargo, stealing stuff, and accidentally helping their fellow man. The show was smart, funny, and wonderfully human, and because this is Joss Whedon we're talking about, it also had a highkicking, superpowered wonder woman. Firefly was strange. Firefly shouldn't have worked. And it didn't. Firefly was canceled after 11 episodes...

POP CULTURE LEGACY...only to be revived in 2005 as the feature film Serenity (pictured), thanks to the tenacity of Whedon, the surprise success of Firefly on DVD, and a small army of Internet-based supporters.

THE BEST BIT Saddle up for the show, to see how it all started, and the movie, to see the ending. Then pray that someday, some studio exec will have the guts to make more. —Jeff Jensen

Just read that myself and thought it was pretty good. Ahead of a little popular show called Heros which I personally like.

Just saw this too, and ran over to post about it! Should have known somebody else would be quicker on the uptake. Nice to see our gang in good company...ranking higher even than the popular Heroes, Dr. Who, etc. (No brawling, please! Not my opinion...if it was our friends would have been #1...)
