    What's funny is that I didn't hear an uproar for the show went it was cancelled.

    As I said before, it and John Doe were on on Friday which is an absolute horrible time for a show in America.

    People like to go out on Friday evenings and not sit at home in front of a television. This is why Sunday evening is great. People like to relax before going back to work. Saturday is THE absolute worst day (unless it's a marquee boxing match).

    Summer sucks since a show has to compete with recreation/vacationers.

    Fox fucked Firefly from the get-go, I'm not suprised it had low ratings.

    The Onion A.V. Club cited several actions by the FOX network that contributed to the show's failure, most notably the fact that FOX aired the episodes out of chronological order, making the plot more difficult to follow.[59] For instance, the two-hour episode "Serenity" was intended to be the series' premiere episode, and therefore contained most of the character introductions and back-story. However, FOX decided that "Serenity" was unsuitable to open the series, and the episode, "The Train Job", was specifically created to act as a new pilot.[10] In addition, Firefly was promoted as an action-comedy rather than the more serious character study it was intended to be, and Variety magazine highlighted Fox's decision to occasionally preempt the show for sporting events.[57]
    The good has outed obviously in this case (I loved this story ), which is nice.

    Threshold, and Blade... R.I.P. Two shows which I think bought the bullet after one season... pitty, ok sometimes the plots where a bit ropey and they may not have been to everyones expectations but I did kinda look forward to watching them.

    Maybe it was bit torrent that killed them!?! Probably just a combo of bad acting, crap story arcs and low viewing figures tbh... But If the Execs could see the amount of times those shows were getting downloaded I'm sure there could have been some kinda reprive, but alas.. Shows like Farscape get 5 fucking seasons!!111!1!

    Some fat talentless TV exec decided to let the axe swing... I would have a at least given Threshold another season... it started well, where as Blade was just comedy gold!

    Also I will be pleasantly suprised to see if The Dresden Files will make it to Season 2, I hope.

    It is the worst when the networks cut the show early so it doesn't even get to finish the season like it was intended to from the start of the season.

    I also hate that it is all about the money, 4 million viewers is not enough they need 8 million or the show gets cut half way.
