Funny how she doesn't mention the fact that Fox moved around the show to different days and timeslots. Makes it really hard for viewers to keep up when it's not on at the same time on the same day every week...And playing the show out of order absolutely had something to do with it as well.

They did the same thing with Futurama. Someone at Fox apparently has a grudge against well-written and funny sci-fi.

Yea, I agree. Fox really screwed Whedon, no matter what they say. They're one of the worst networks when it comes to things like this. The only thing I'm grateful to them for is the fact that they kept The X-Files as long as they did, even if the last season wasn't very good. But they have a bad habit of cancelling good shows (Terminator, Firefly) and keeping other shows past their prime (House, 24). I think they really need to rethink they the way they do things.

They did it to Terminator: TSCC and Brisco County Jr. as well, so I agree, Fox has something against really entertaining, funny, sci-fi shows. It's really a bummer. I'm actually surprised to see that Fringe has lasted so long to be honest.

In case no one noticed Firefly started reairing last night on the Science Channel and it will be airing on Sunday nights to come!

As for restarting the show there is no way the Fillion will leave Castle its a bon afide hit and a great show!

That article is such crap. Don't mention the fact that the show had horrible promotion, a horrible timeslot (Friday night?!) and had the episodes shown in practically random order. Or the fact that it got cancelled after only 5 episodes had been shown. Gee, kind of hard to build a fanbase after all that...

I don't know if the "Help Nathan Buy Firefly" movement will amount to anything. Most likely it won't. But I hope it makes Fox take notice that a lot of people still care about a show they axed. Fans brought back Futurama and Family Guy. Stranger things have happened.

Firefly hasn't been brought back yet. It never will now at this point. We'll likely see a second Serenity though.
