A Tragic Loss to the Television Landscape FULL SKULL BABY!

Let me preface this by saying that I rarely watch television anymore. The worst book ever published is a thousand times better than the best tv show left on the air... With the possible exception of Joan of Arcadia. Even that's not enough of a draw to keep me home on a Friday night though. And reality tv... Pheh...

But Firefly...

There was a time when Friday nights were reserved for tv time. Picture me, on the floor in front of the tv, begging my kids to play somewhere else... Plleeeeeeaase! It's only on once a week! And then the theme song begins... It's got a bit of a twang... fiddles... And then the words, the spirit. You instantly know what the show's going to be about. It's the American Dream. No... Not the new one about living like Trump in a palace seemingly miles above Manhattan... The real American Dream The one that brought our ancestors. It's about living free, room to stretch out and breathe, self reliance, and self determination. Would a simple television show dare to reach so far?

Firefly dared that and more, bringing the dream to the very stars. Along for the ride are some of the most complex and original characters ever seen in cookie-cutter-land. Then Fox, in true ratings-dazed fashion, lassoed the dream and pulled it down.

If you've ever dreamed of open-spaces, open-minds, and a life lived not without danger but without fear, you must own this collection. You must.

Best I've ever seen FULL SKULL BABY!
I'd never heard of this show until I noticed the customer reviews while browsing through Amazon.com ... The response was so overwhelming that I HAD to check it out. It is without a doubt the best series I've ever seen. I was completely absorbed by the stories and characters, and watched the entire series in one sitting - I just couldn't stop. I hope another station picks up on this great show and carries it forward!! (and I can hardly wait to see the movie!!!)

Unfortunatly Firefly proved one thing - FULL SKULL BABY!
that FOX doesn't know when it's got sci-fi gold. Like another short lived sci-fi series that had tons of potential, Space: Above and Beyond, Firefly was cut down before it's time. I'd just about given up on televised sci-fi. Trek had gone down the tubes, Babylon 5 had ended, and the rest of the Sci-fi TV landscape was filled with absolute dreck. Then along comes this wonderful series that had style, humor, intellegence, and made me believe in it's setting. Of course, it was completely mishandled by it's network, but thank goodness for DVD. Now with word of a movie, the Serenity will fly again - no thanks to FOX.
