Firefly Cancelled

[Miyu]

Joss Whedon, creator of Fox's SF Western Firefly, confirmed to fans that Fox has canceled the struggling series, but left open the possibility of shopping the show to another network. Fans, meanwhile, were organizing a postcard-writing campaign, bolstered by last week's ad in Variety, to urge the continuation of their favorite show.

My wife really likes this and will be sorry to see it go.

My sister will be upset, too.

Howcome all the shows we like get canceled? I will sorely miss Farscape and Birds of Prey. Oh, well, at least I'll always have the tapes....

And what do they keep? Dren like "American Idol 2," that's what. :angry: Just goes to show you TV appeals to the lowest common denominator, I guess. :(

It sounds like there are three unaired episodes yet--I hope they show them at some point. It'd be a shame if they didn't!

How many episodes where done in total -- I have seen a couple and thought it had the posibility of becoming a good series , however the time slot that it was in was a poor one -- in the Toronto area , so I thought ...

Scifi shows are never on long enough to build up an audience :(

Yes, that's exactly it.
