Default Re: Firefly - What is it?

Yeah. Fox wanted another 'Buffy the vampire slayer' so they pretty much gave Joss Whedon a blank check and told him to make them another hit. Firefly was the result. But unfortunately the Fox execs wanted another campy 'buffy' type show, which Firefly certainly wasn't, so the displeased Fox execs did their best to sabotage Firefly so it's ratings would tank (the episodes were aired out of order, and not all were even aired) So they'd have an excuse to kill the show. Which worked.

Serenity was only produced to try and capitalise on the shows cult popularity after it refused to die.

Them killing Wash still pisses me off though.

This show likely could have become a long running Star Trek type franchise if the Fox execs hadn't had their heads up their asses. :p And this is still one of my favourite shows to this day.
