Delvo makes a good point that might apply to other networks on other nights. But you have to look at FOX's history on Friday nights over the past decade. All those shows that Hobbes and I listed were gone in less than a season, and most performed better than FIREFLY. FOX doesn't seem to possess that wait-and-let-the-ratings-build attitude anymore, not since THE X-FILES anyway. Perhaps FOX should abandon science-fiction on Fridays and try HAPPY GILMORE: THE SERIES.

Well, duh! The 18-35 or so crowd would be the ones that are interested in Firefly. And most of that age are out that nite as they have a life, and of course, also, many won't qualify as a "Nielsen family".
Fox really needs to put it on Tuesday or Sunday, tag teaming it with Angel or Buffy, with the established Joss Whedon audience.

Fox is totally unreliable when it comes to series loyalty. They produce an interesting show, get people committed to watching it, then yank it, leaving the faithful "high and dry".
After my experience with "that 80's show" (yes, I know it was silly, but it was also fun) I should know better than to get hooked on another Fox series, but...
As far as "Happy Gilmore", and "the Brady" movie that's supposed to air next week instead of Firefly, I've got better things to do...
