Iirc it was canned becase it had poor ratings, it had poor rating becase it was poorly promoted and had inconsistent schedule that some eps aired at terrible times, and this was becase the executive at fox at the time did not like /"get" the show, and also had a creative clash with whedon over the direction of the show.
I remember there was other ridiculous things like you'd watch 5 eps and suddenly you can't find the next episode and later reading that the pilot was aired late in the series because the network thought airing it out of order was a good idea. And after the ratings tanked it got canned.
Back then in a class of 50+ film and media students, I was the only one that watched it.
They've been on Nathan for years to re-group and bring back the cast. If he can star in that blasted "Rookie" crap, why not "Firefly"?
Hmm, I'll also toss in "Freaks and Geeks".
For nostalgia's sake, this was a must-see for us 80s kids. ?
"Fawlty Towers" gets a nod too, because it was outlandish comedy and Cleese was perfect.
"Dead Like Me" - an HBO gem that deserved a lot more love; now "owned" by "The Good Place"
"Westworld" - another HBO gem, and I think it ultimately failed because it was getting too difficult for STUPID people to understand.
and "Deadwood". This was a Western unlike any others, and Ian McShane as the evil Al Swearengen was at the top of his game long before "John Wick".
