Firefly cancelled!

[Ranger REG]

Executive producer Rick Berman has already confessed that they are going to try spicing up the show with more sex and violence in order to attract viewers.

* shakes head in disappointment *

Rick, dude, you're only going to get viewers like me to return if you write good stories. Don't sugar coat it. A crappy story with sex and violence is still a crappy story. I got better plotline watching featured porn films!

And this preceding message comes from what your colleague Braga once called us longtime Trek fans "Continuity Pornographers."

a friend and i were just talking and he made a really annoying observation, which i saw but somehow didn't pick up on: anyone else notice how much Fox has been advertising Fastlane at its "new time"?

that really pisses me off. not only do they singlehandedly kill one of the best shows on tv, but they promote the hell out of the cancelled show that they're replacing it with. what a waste of a network.

Well, they did cancel the show. Now they have to fill that empty slot. Plus it is to remind those avid Fastlane viewers on the new airtime.

I would have wanted it that way if the situation is reversed (Fastlane cancelled and Firefly fill in the vacant timeslot).

i wasn't clear enuff. Fastlane IS cancelled! Fox cancelled Firefly partly because they never promoted it (i think i've only ever seen one Firefly commercial) then replaced it with another show (Fastlane) that's been cancelled too, and now they're promoting the hell out of Fastlane. too bad there's a profanity filter and Eric's grandma about, or i'd say what i really thought of Fox. oh well

Please cite your source about Fastlane being cancelled, in case I missed it.

hmmm ... perhaps i was a lil hasty with that. i thought i'd read it somewhere, but after a quick search turned up nothing, i'm guessing i'm confusing a "with Fastlane now in the 'death time slot', it WILL be cancelled" comment made during a conversation with a friend of mine. sorry if i caused any heart stoppage

i still think that Fox should be beaten over the head [edit] repeatedly [/edit] with a Mack truck.

Anybody else suffering from Firefly withdrawal?

*sigh*

Anyone know when we might hear about its future?

Check out www.fireflysupport.com for all your depressing Firefly news. For example, yesterday they posted that UPN has reportedly declined to pick up Firefly. As near as I can tell, that's the show's death knell.

And on another forum, I'm reading that UPN is losing something like $1 million per episode of Buffy, and that Angel isn't doing very well in the ratings either.

I really hope that Joss's star isn't falling; he's the only reason I have cable TV.

Well, the reason why they move Fastlane to Friday night is because Wednesday night is the choice spot for American Idol and yes it is back.

It is the night when I must resort to a 13-inch B&W TV because my girlfriend and my nieces hog bigger color TV and I dare not go near that TV lest I wish to have my eyes gouged out by their press-on nails.
