I knew I missed something out!
Let me just take this opportunity to plug with all my heart and soul the amazing TV program Firefly, and it's follow-up movie Serenity. If you're not familiar with this franchise and it's struggle, it's not hard to find out with a little internet trawl. I remember first reading about Firefly in SFX when I was a big Buffy fan (the show is by Buffy and Angel creator, and one of my gods, Joss Whedon). I dismissed it initially as it was described as a sci-fi Western, which sounds terrible... In an attempt not to gush for 10 paragraphs, Firefly has a lot of the good points of Buffy/ Angel, and of many current sci-fi series, but few of the bad points :) My brother recommended Firefly to me last month and I am SO glad I watched it. It was such a nice alternative now that Doctor Who has ended (and also sucked...).
It's amazing the amount of work fans have put in the support Firefly, and it's so sad that more hasn't come of it (although getting the movie was amazing!).
As a new fan to the series, please watch it :) buy the movie :) if they commissioned another series I would be over the moon! I was sad when Angel was cancelled (for a reality Tv program no less!!!) but at least it ran for 5 seasons! Firefly ran for 1!! Joss had so much more to tell, so much more to do with that show.
Yeah, there's more to life than TV, and honestly, I barely watch Tv normally. But Firefly was a pretty amazing show. Continuing in Joss' vein of comedy, drama, powerful women, and social insight. It would suck less if I thought it was canceled for a good reason, but it was cancelled because Fox want a cheap show that would make money. Firefly was an intelligent, entertaining, insightful program and should not have been cancelled. If we're going to have such shitty TV can we at least keep the good programs in amongst all the crap ones?
Like I said, I don't watch TV, so it doesn't bother me so much other than the principle of it... but I just want to recommend it as a really good watch to everyone, and I think it's important I point out how much it sucks that it was cancelled.
