Firefly

I don't have a lot to say except that every time I think of Fox canceling this show, I get angry. It's the perfect blend of everything for me. Western, Sci Fi, bad ass anti-hero-heroes. Great chemistry for a fairly large ensemble cast. An interesting history that could be explored. I hate you Fox. Even if the genres I mentioned above don't usually fall into your viewing choices, I think spending an hour with the show will change your mind.

I don't really like Joss Whedon's other stuff. Buffy the Vampire slayer never clicked for me. But this one did, and with the measly one season and a movie, it makes you wonder what could have been. Because it was that good right off the bat, it'd only get better.

Fox's batshit crazy approach to programming seems to kind of bring in the extremes of the spectrum. You get lots of crap that you don't care for, but they seem to take the most chances on more out of the way stuff, if only they'd stick with it. Arrested Development falls under this as well, damn you Fox. damn you.

Edit: I suppose we could add Futurama, but it at least got a few years.
