I just discovered another Fox show that I really lilke. Of course I'm finding it a year too late because they pulled the plug on it 10 episodes in. Vanished. Its a lot like Prison Break or a lot like a Robert Ludlum or Clive Cussler book. Very interesting with a massive conspiracy plot throughout. You can watch old episodes on myspace vids.

Between Firefly which is one of my favorite shows and Vanished. I'd have to say Fox has ADHD. They can't stick out a show for very long. Actually some of the other networks have pulled shows I was watching - Journeyman, Life, and Bionic Woman. I don't remember this happening much to me when I was growing up - except the early demise of Enos.

I am sitting here thinking how long Dollhouse will last. The more I hear about this show the more I am certain it is just the type of show FOX will cancel. It is Science Fiction and leans toward anti-establishment. Also Joss Whedon is the creator.
That is the perfect formula for cancelation.
Joss has got to get together with the SciFi Channel. I think they would give him more respect.

I'm with you Traveler,...and so are a lot of us, over on the OB they have the petition going already and F*x has commented on it. Did you see the posting under 'the new F*x has a sense of humor?'(on this board) The new 'suits' seem to 'get it' about FF/S fans, I should say they refer to us as 'Whedon fans', not just FF/S fans. Like I said in the post,....little late isn't it?

Here's where it gets a little fuzzy for me.

1. You have a show that, some 6 years after the fact, still has a hugely strong and devoted following - and growing daily.

B. A show who's DVD sales sets records.

3. A show who's DVD is now being re-released in the latest tech entertainment advancement - Blu-Ray.

D. This "company" by the way, runs out and hires another company to put together the SE Blu-Ray DVD and dispatches a spokesperson to the above-mentioned fan's site to inquire about what they would like to have included in said Blu-Ray DVD.
(just think they thought enough of u$ to want our input).

5. A show (from 2002 no less) that kicks butt even by today's standards.

6. A show that could have won several Emmys and brought prestige and critical acclaim to its broadcast home.

xyz....I'm tired, it's your turn guys

I happen to believe that somewhere in the creative department there lives a cunning fox. Aside from Firefly, she/he has commissioned shows like:

Freaks and Geeks
Undeclared
Arrested Development
The Lone Gunmen
Adventures of Brisco County, Jr
The Tick (live action)
and
Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Unfortunately, somewhere in the promotion/screening process, someone fux up and the execs cancel something special.

Hugh, your list is wrong in one particular.

Freaks and Geeks was on NBC.

But for F*X, you can also add:
Wonderfalls
The Inside
Futurama
Brimstone
Harsh Realm
Sliders
Greg the Bunny

Die hard FF/S supporter/lover, not a Whedon "kool-aide" drinker for the cause. No charity screenings, dressing up, learning chinese, or spending way too much time contemplating a cause that isn't unlike the independent's. Fx are morons and as long as they are in charge...... MOVE ON! I used to think trekkies were weird! No offense but some people on this forum fail to realize the world outside of FF is going to shit!

What's really sad about it is the network that shall remain unnamed made it's rep and got on it's feet as a network by holdingon and letting shows ( like the X-Files) gain a following ...then once they hit the big leagues they spit on anything that doesn't give them instant ratings gold....which is why they SUCK

When we built these dreams on Sand,
And how they all slipped through our Hands,
And this might be our only chance-
Let's take this One Day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine;
The time that we Kill keeps us alive...
The Band of the week is... Rise Against
