Peter: Everybody I've got bad news. We've been cancelled.
Lois: Oh no Peter! How could they do that?
Peter: Well unfortuantely Lois, there's just no more room on the schedule. We just gotta accept the fact that FOX has to make room for terrific shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80's Show, Wonderfalls, Fast Lane, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Skin, Girl's Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, Freaky Links, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunman, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddy, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric The Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, And Greg The Bunny....
Lois: Is there no hope?
Peter: Well I suppose if ALL those shows go down the tubes we might have a shot.

Of course, for a COMPLETE list of all shows Fox cancelled (after Family Guy), see the beginning of the first season four episode, where Peter rattles off EVERY show Fox aired after the cancellation of Family Guy.

I know it was mentioned first by Mattcoz, but Wonderfalls!!! It was funny and inventive! There was an absurdity to it, but the actors were so grounded and committed to their roles that it never seeemed forced or fake. I was listening to the commentary when they were talking about story arcs for the second and third season, and all I wanted was to see those episodes. Pretty much how everyone on this site laments to see more Firefly. It boggles the mind to think that showing only four episodes is really going to garner an audience. Maybe it's ahead of it's time, like most good things are.

What a great show that was. And the allusions to modern day pop culture were priceless.

1. Bohler getting donuts from a kid named Duncan.
2. The professor building a derigible out of metal (A Lead Zepplin!)
3. A new weave of cotton that was stronger than steel (Blue Jeans)

Anyone remember any others? I have a good 15-20 episodes of this show on VCR tapes. I would love to convert them to DVD but I know the quality will suffer. Were these ever released on DVD?

Does anybody remember 'Space: Above and Beyond'? I think it's been ten years since that show's single-season run - it lasted only marginally longer than Firefly, being aired on Sunday nights and always, ALWAYS delayed/pre-empted by football.

Between S:AAB and Firefly, a FOX contract is a death warrant for a character-driven sci-fi show.
