Summer Glau recently appeared on the show "Supernatural" in an episode (forgotten the title) and I doubt that show is going to get canceled for a long long time.

Supernatural has been compared to "Buffy" and "X-files" so it looks like some people from Firefly have a chance again. Sorry if any of this has been repeated before but I just registered so I havent been able to look everything over yet.

So, shouldn't there be a Fox executive wandering around aimlessly somewhere, desperately unable to make a single show work?

Um...as others have pointed out, its just the nature of the industry... if you look at the start of a new season how many "new shows" are put onto the airwaves.... after thbe midway point how many of those new shows are around, and at the end of the season how many less has remained. Thats just how it is, only a few shows make it, and even then, they may last 1-2 seasons... oh and dont forget that there is a huge amount of pilots that are shot, but not picked up
And sean maher? look at his imdb profile pre-firefly... he was in 3 cancelled shows before... I think...

But our point is, it only seems like an inordinate ammount because you (and the rest of us) are paying so much attention to them. The casts of other cancelled shows don't seem to have such a bad track record because you aren't paying any attention to them.

Look up Robert Urich's resume of cancelled shows. No one from our 'verse is in his ballpark in that regard.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Yes, but some that you count were pre- Firefly, so don't really apply. And others were ended intentionally, rather than cancelled (like Buffy). That makes the actual number a whole lot more resonable. Adding in one-off appearances on other shows makes the number even iffier (like Alan on Arrested Development - if you're going to count shows that are eventually cancelled later, then you my as well count every job they ever get, becuase they will eventually end).

I have to admit I am not an expert. I have noticed that most shows do not make it past the first season. If a show lasts four seasons I call it a success. Shows like "Married With Children" and "The Simpsons" are rare.

Our good friend who played Badger is getting a reocurring role on the successful "Medium". I suspect his last showing was also his final showing. But he was on three times. More than he was on Firefly. This was also a prime role in each episode.

I'm sorry to dissapoint but Summer wasn't in a Supernatural episode,well she was supposed to make a guest appearence in one episode but pulled out because of another another program.
