FOX killed the show by not promoting it during 2weeks and a half *cries*
"Providence" started the evening for NBC with a 7.1/12. CBS took second with "48 Hours Investigates," 6.4/11. ABC was third with a repeat of "America's Funniest Home Videos," while FOX's lame-duck "Firefly" managed only a 2.4/4.

Its all about selling useless crap to morons. I hope they can figure out a way to produce this show for some other venue. But if they don't then I can go back to being all snobby and superior when I say "I don't watch TV"

Yes... business is about selling things. To people. WHo are generally not as intelligent as probably either of us are.
Unfortunately, that's the nature of the game. People don't like Firefly. /shrug. That makes it a lousy thing to keep on the air. Maybe Fox should have promoted it more. I, for one, didn't see a single promotion during any of the other Fox shows I watch (24, The Simspons, and I'll occasionally be tuned to Fox News). Then again, maybe they were wondering what their baseline was. A sort of "If we put no effort into this, what can we get out of it? How many loyal Firefly fans do we actually have?" We'll have to see how they promote Objects in Space.
The brightest side I can find is that maybe this will piss Joss off, and he'll decide "Screw network TV and Fox" and begin producing stuff for HBO, where he'll have neat things like total creative freedom.

Brilliant. If you happen to have premium channels, which I don't.

Perhaps this isn't as bad as we think, I know I'm being way too optimistic, but I think this is just merely a result of not being shown for two weeks. John Doe, which also wasn't shown for two weeks, had its worst ratings ever I believe, dropping from a 4.1 to 3.6. So maybe in that context its not so bad?

How about not being ADVERTISED for two weeks?

It would certainly help if the would advertise it more.
All we can do is keep watching and pray to whatever it is we pray to.
