Hello Firefly fans, I've been lurking on your site (pretty neat set up by the way) probably since March. I'm a Gunsmoke fan for sure followed by many of the other westerns. Probably much older than most of you too, hence I don't really get into the sci-fis (tho I did watch OStarTrek and XFiles. Never watched Firefly but from the photos i've checked out it looks like a futuristic western of sorts connection. Anyhow, after the ruckus over on tvvote, I thought I'd introduce myself. I see so many shows being tossed about that "may" have had their share of inacuracies. I'd like to believe not many did. However, I even without seeing Firefly, thought you were doing a grand vote going for that 400,000 mark and ended up voting several times for the show sight unseen. I have previously posted results on several Gunsmoke lists and when Firefly is mentioned, I think 90% had no idea what it was, but, several have actually gone out and bought the video sets and have told me how much they enjoy the show. (lol, almost as much as Gunsmoke). If you haven't watched Gunsmoke before or if you watched the later color editions, you really should dig deeper into Gunsmoke and go back to the Black and white episodes, you'd be surprised how well and tight the scripts, sets and characters were. You may even see some similarities.

By the way Raycheetah, as a fire department photographer, thank you for donating firefly sets to fire stations, that is a great gesture on your part.
take care all, sorry for the long post, may everyone prosper when tv vote is back.

Hey Westernmarshal.......I'm certainly no "spokesperson" for this site, but let me tell you how much I appreciate your post. I too am older than most Browncoats here. I grew up watching all those great TV Westerns of the 60's like Gunsmoke, Bonanaza, Big Valley, Death Valley Days, Rawhide, Lancer, Wagon Train, Branded, The Rifleman, Rin Tin Tin, etc etc etc. Gunsmoke was indeed a terrific show, but I think a lot of today's youth would find it too violent and too much a product of pre-political corectness to bear nowadays. Anyhow, keep up the fun competition!

Ni howdy, and, welcome aboard, Marshal!

Glad to have you! Better heads'n I have noted the similarities between Fireflly and many of the classic Western TV series; on the TV Vote Google group, I noted that what a Laramie fan had to say about the character interactions there sounded a lot like our BDHs (Big Damn Heroes).

I'm old enough to remember a lot of the older shows, though, I was a weird kid, wasn't into Westerns (one reason I almost didn't watch Firefly, when "The Train Job" was first aired, too Western for my tastes; I watched anyway, and, got hooked). As a Browncoat, though, I am always happy when anybody is willing to give Firefly a chance, and, glad to hear their feedback.

So, drop on by whenever you feel like it, Marshal. Just don't try to take any of us into custody; we're all way too busy to be bound by law, right now.

Oh, and, when I was a kid, my dad was with a VFD, so, I still retain a special friendship and, awe, really, for the first-responders. Not a job I'm sure I could handle, m'self, so, I'm glad there're those who can.

Speaking of which: What ever happened to shows like Emergency? Dun see the likes, much, anymore.

Be well!

...Gene Autry, Hop-A-Long-Cassidy, Roy Rogers, oh yes, Gunsmoke, Rifleman, Maverick, Sugarfoot, Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, the Rebel, Bonanza, heh; lots of old westerns I grew up with! Always wanted to be a cowboy (wrong gender)...then an astronaut..so Firefly kinda combined the two for me! Miss voting...four more days at least I think. Thanks for the kind words Marshall.

A little more info about Rankopedia:

You have to register, first, but, you can vote on any individual poll once per day. Be sure to click on the Arts and Entertainment link on the left side, and, focus on Movies and TV; vote on any poll once per day.

Also, be sure that, once you hit the "I want to vote" button, you scroll down to the bottom of the candidates; a lot of our BDHs (and others) are new, and, at the bottom of the polls.
