May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Quote:Originally posted by FullCapacity: Most successful shows in the 22 episode a season format tend to peak around season 3 - season 4. After that I think you have a hard time keeping a cast together (opportunities open up elsewhere and raises might make it prohibitive to keep everyone) and alot of storylines close themselves off. If you watch any British television on BBC America, etc, you'll find that most of their shows run 2 maybe 3 seasons and end on a feature length special (i.e. The Office) If Firefly had survived, I would have wanted it to last 4 seasons max. If you've seen the way some Fox shows have ended ( X Files, 90210, etc) limping out the door, its kind of sad. Mind you, for the cast and creator, I got no problem with them cashing out as long as they can. A job is a job. But storywise, I think most shows can't do much after their fourth season.

Quote:Originally posted by BadgersHat: I suspect that Joss had a definite plan for Firefly, reaching across multiple seasons (much like he did with Buffy and Angel). I think he would've made major changes to the show around season 3 or 4, just like Buffy. Maybe he'd have spun off a character, or even made a prequel series (I'd LOVE to see what the war was like, and what Jayne was up to prior to our favorite show.

There is no reason at all to capitalise the secong f. Same thing with Stargate. It isn't Star Gate, it is, again, one word. Just because there are two root words at play, here, does not make it ok to break them up like that. Don't go fiddling with the laws of grammer just bacause it's science fiction, people.

Quote:Originally posted by fredrickbanting: What would happen if Fire Fly would have gotten past season 1. I have no doubt by then the fan base would have been enough to keep it on the air. Maybe it could have gone to like season 5 or 6. Hey common Star Gate is like at season 8 and that show.... well isn't very good. Thats just my opinion, I'll watch it if Star Gate is on. But Firefly had soo mcuh more... Like a story and good character we could love.

Quote:Originally posted by oldfan45: I've been amazed that Monarch of the Glen has kept a pretty much intact cast over the past several years...Richard Brierly's departure in a permanent and spectacular way notwithstanding. Compton Mackenzie's books on which the series was based are pretty much out of print in the USA, sad to say. They're fun reading.

Quote:Originally posted by Misguided By Voices: Ah. You may be a little behind over there. I have to say I don't really follow the show - but there isn't much left from the days that Colin Farrell was on it (or was that Ballykissangel? I forget now).
