Save Firefly!

Post by HemlockGrey »

Because Firefly is slipping in the ratings, FOX may cancel it. We cannot allow this to happen! Without Firefly, the only new sci-fi show on would be Enterprise!

So please! Save Firefly! Write angry letters to FOX demanding they keep the show! Even if you don't watch it, do it anyway, or else ENTERPRISE will reign supreme!

It's on Friday nights at 8pm(Pacific) on Fox. It's a lot better than the sci-fi that hasn't already been cancelled. Watch it.

There are a couple of "Dead Zones" in fox broadcasting where they have never been able to keep a show. Mainly Thursday and Friday night. Some of there better shows have been put there and then canceled when they couldn't compete. Family Guy, one of the most loved shows over the net ever, went on Thursday, died. The Tick, which was pretty good and and lots of potiential, died. Dark Angel, while a hit in it's first season died there in it's second.

If FOX wants to cansel a show, nothing will stop it. FOX is run by crack smoking idiots. There was a petition online with 100000 signatures to keep Family Guy on the air, now I'll probly never see another episode. The creator of Undeclared tried to rally the fans of the show to stop fox doing it in, didn't stop them.

John Doe won't last long there either. The only show I think that ever completed a season on a Friday or a Thursday on FOX were Family Guy and Dark Angel, and we all know what those cold hearted iditos did to them.

Instead of wasting money (and creating angry fans) on these "dead zones", maybe they should just allow the local stations to dump syndicated reruns during those times. Hell, even put the same episodes of popular shows already shown during the week (Simpsons, 70's Show, 24, etc) on those slots, since they already have the episode made and shown, they won't loose any real money, and people might appreciate the same episode twice a week incase they miss one. Hell, this is exactly what Fox does for Tuesday-Friday during the summer "off" season anyway!
Meanwhile, save the good shows for good timeslots. Move John Doe and Firefly to Monday-Wednesday. Make Firefly directly compete with Enterprise! Make John Doe compete with UPN's disgrace of a Twilight Zone remake, and move Fastlane to Sunday, in the old X-Files time slot.

Fox doesn't seem to have a good track record with sci-fi shows.

Which is sad, because it's always their own fault.

Sci-Fi shows, Drama shows, action shows, cop shows, college shows, and shows which have no point except they seem like the set up for porn(For example the show were the 3 guys were admitted to an all girls school, I don't think their was any point to the show, at all, no comedy, no story line, utter fucking shit)

Where and to whom should we write our angry letters of protest?

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

you all remember what they did to Lone Gunmen? Fastlane (Or Miami Vice 2.0) will soon be gone. FUX can't keep a good show. Look what they did to their Sat AM and Weekday Kids line-up.

Soon FOX will be purely Simpsons and locally syndicated reruns.
