[qoute] " 7. Firefly - This may be one of the most under-appreciated shows of all time. When the show aired on TV the episodes were run out of order, and the show was barely promoted. Granted, the western set in space was probably a huge marketing headache. But we can’t put all the blame on the studio. Though they may not admit it now, many of the show's biggest fans (who also decided to check out the DVD) were reluctant to give the show a chance at first because it drew Joss Whedon’s attention away from the ultra-popular Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This may be the most discovered show on DVD, because it’s the DVD sales that helped get the green light for the big screen spin-off, Serenity. While I don’t think Firefly is the most intelligent or best show I’ve ever seen, it was still very good, and a lot of fun, and should have been given more of a chance to succeed."

I definitely disagree with the "While I don’t think Firefly is the most intelligent or best show I’ve ever seen".

At least it's getting recognized for it's DVD sales.
Press is good.

ETA: LOL, Penguin and I were obviously thinking the same thought at the same time!!

they lost me at Lost... that is a list of great shows... but Lost?

First, why reccomend Lost to anybody? everybody is already watching it...

Secondly, on a list of shows that were too smart to be cancelled; why include Lost, they frequently and repeatedly talk about the same situation from every angle until even the dumbest audience member knows exactly what's going on... the plot is stretched so thin, also, that you can actually just watch every other episode and understand completely what is going on...

oh, and Tru Calling doesn't need to be on that list... they frequently "talked down" to the audience incorporating flashbacks of things seen earlier in the episode and the first 3/4 of the first season was the same plot over and over...

the show didn't deserve to be cancelled because it was finally getting good in the last section of the first season and with the second season...

She completely skipped over NewsRadio and Huff, but I'm complaining about someone who appreciates Arrested Development so she can't be all that bad.
