Firefly
FIREFLY
If you have never heard of it is was a TV show on FOX. It was the best show that FOX has ever done (its up there with Family Guy, and Arrested Development), but what does FOX do they cancel it after only 14 episodes because it wasnt getting "high ratings". It was also during the time of the big "reality show" thing (which dont get me started on that.)
Firefly is set five hundred years in the future and is a cross between Star Trek and Star Wars. Serenity (the name of the space ship) is owned and captained by Malcom Reynolds. The ship's first mate is Zoe served with Mal in the war against the Alliance (who are the bad guys). The ship is piloted by "Wash" who is also married to Zoe (dont worry Zoe is a chick.) The mechanic is Kaylee (also a chick but a cute one at that.) The tough guy on board is named Jayne (that's right Jayne like a girls name). There is a companion on board (ya u know what that means) named Inara (who is really, really HOT). The crew picks up in the pilot episode a priest named Shepard Book and a doctor named Simon and his genius sister River. Simon and River are trying to flee from the Alliance because they were making wierd experiments on River.
Firefly was created by Joss Whedon who also created Buffy and Angel. Yes this is a science fiction show but it is the best science fiction show ever. And i know my sci-fi because i watch that channel all the time. Now this show was done in 2002 and in 2005, 20th Century Fox decided to let Joss create a movie Serenity. The movie was excellent too but it didnt do to well at the Box Office. It barely made any profit.
Here is what is interesting to me. On Amazon Firefly is the 14th highest TV show sold. Now i was hoping that the movie would make enough money to let FOX decide to bring the show back because we know they did it with Family Guy and now Futurama. Well it doesnt look like they will bring it back so i must say goodbye to Firefly. What can i say FOX always cancels its best shows, take it from Arrested Development.
So what is the moral of todays blog no ratings = no tv show.
