Airing and cancellation
Though the show had a loyal following during its original broadcast, it was cancelled by the Fox Broadcasting Company in December 2002 after only 11 episodes shown in the USA and Canada. Low ratings were blamed for the cancellation; it was also suggested that Whedon's additional responsibilities on Angel after co-creator David Greenwalt's departure from that show was a contributing factor. In the hopes of getting another network such as UPN to pick up the cancelled show, fans formed the 'Firefly Immediate Assistance' campaign, but were technically unsuccessful (though Universal did decide to pick Firefly up as a movie project, see below). Fillion later appeared in the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, while Torres and Baldwin took on recurring roles in Angel. Fans attributed the low ratings in part to actions of the Fox Network. Firefly was promoted as an action-comedy rather than the more serious character study it was intended to be; episodes were occasionally preempted for sporting events, and the episodes were not aired in the order that the creators had intended. Most notably, the two-hour episode Serenity was intended to be the pilot episode, as it contains most of the character introductions and back-story. However, FOX decided that Serenity was not a suitable pilot, and so the second episode, The Train Job, was rushed into production to become the pilot episode. The sequence of episodes aired varied by locality:
In the USA and Canada, starting on September 20, 2002, Fox broadcast the episodes on Fridays at 20:00 (except for the second hour of the pilot which was shown at 21:00). The order was 2-3, 6; 7-8, 4-5, 9; 10, 14, 1; with 11-13 unaired in the USA.
To me this show is another DVD success story like Family Guy, proved so popular that they had to bring it back.:01:
Airing them out of order like that is ridiculous. No wonder the fickle audiences never stuck with it.
I'd have been :bawa: if I hadn't seen the the intended pilot (Serenity) before I watched the series.
A new series would be awesome, has anyone heard if this is likely or not?
How are the DVD sales?Quote:

Also I can't believe like Andromeda.
It sounds likely since With said the DVD sales are kicking ass and if the movie does well.Quote:

War Stories would have been perfect if it weren't for the ghey synchronised shooting scene at the end.
