Firefly cancelled!

[Chun-tzu]

This bites. Cross-genre shows are often a tough sell, and it's a shame that the show wasn't given the time it needed to build a solid audience. Hopefully, this isn't over yet.

I believe there are just enough to syndicate. Meaning at least 3 seasons.

This is season 5 for Futurama.

Bad news, folks: the cancellation's official.

We can only hope another network will pick it up. I'm hoping against the SF channel, since I don't get it. UPN would be ideal.

Suck.

Let's hope UPN will show some stones and pick the show up.

Fox in the network of Ally McBeal and 90210, remember. They have always sucked. The Simpsons was an accident.

Simply put, If anyone on these boards sees any more info on what fans can do to help resurrect the show, please post it in this forum. I for one do NOT want to see this show go. After the dramatic turnaround of show quality in the most recent 5 episodes, this show DESERVES a shot, and I am willing to do anything beneficial to see it.

Shame that it has been cancelled but I expected it, Fox put it on the worse night of the week (date night, HS Sports night, Friday night).

Who did they expect to watch it?

Henry, keep your eyes on http://fireflysupport.com/ -- these fans look like they mean business!

This is season 5 for Futurama.

As was already mentioned this is actually just part two of last season and the others may not have been full seasons either.

It's joined Freakazoid in the cool cartoons that got canned prematurely bin.

Yeah, definitely premature.

You're right, but seasons are typically defined by when the episode are actually aired, unless there's a clear order or numbering to the episodes. There's an episode guide to Futurama here: http://epguides.com/Futurama/

Season 1 was 9 episodes
Season 2 was 20 (!)
Season 3 was 15
Season 4 was 12
and it looks like Season 5 will be 16 episodes

That will make a total of 72 episodes.

This is why I don't watch TV anymore - all the shows that I really care about like Freaks & Geeks, Futurama, and now Firefly are invariably treated like crap by the networks and cancelled, while the ones that should be cancelled like Voyager, run for seven years.

Hopefully UPN will take their collective heads out of Rick Berman's ass and see Firefly for the quality show that it is and pick it up.

GRRR.

Okay, I'm off to mail out some support letters to UPN as suggested here. MAN, I just did this for Farscape a few months ago. This is starting to really wear on me and it must for others.

All I want for Christmas is Firefly and Farscape on UPN......
