... we had THREE television series from Joss Whedon.

The day after tomorrow we have NONE!

Amazing how things can change so damned quickly.

Honestly, tho... I get the feeling Joss is finished with TV for awhile. It is a grueling medium.

After a one or two month shoot on Serenity, Joss is back home with the family raising a kid and writing Astonishing X-Men. Sounds kinda like a vacation, doesn't it?

I think Joss will take some time "off" for a while, then jump right back in, maybe something like an evil postal office in the middle of Jerusalem in Christmas Season.

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

I feel your pain Hjermsted. At least I have Firefly on DVD, and can catch Angel & Buffy reruns on cable.

I do think that Joss is done w/ TV, at least until his contract w/ Fox expires. It is obvious from his recent experiences w/ the WB & Fox that he has been left w/ a bad taste in his mouth for TV execs & how they treat his shows. His recent comments in the Entertainment interview only confirm this suspicion. I think he will work on the FF movie, and any sequels Universal will back, his writing for the X Men comic, and spend some time w/ the family.
