Serenity ITV4 9pm

The original series was cancelled after only half a season.

Whedon convinced the studio to let him make a movie - Serenity. The idea being that if it was popular, they might let him finish off season 1.

 

Despite the huge cult following - lets face it, it was one of the best Sci-Fi shows for a long time. It wasnt meant to be.

there are rumours that there is a script for a second movie. But Serneity was in 2005, so I think the possibility of there ever been a sequal is gone.

 

Its another case of short sightedness of studios.

Does anyone here remember Space: Above and Beyond? That was awesome!

They studio hoped the UK market would take it to heart. But when BBC2 where showing it at 1120pm on a Friday, it didnt get the ratings. Although coupled with that, it never seemed to be on 2 weeks in a row, or at the same times!

Firefly was amazing, typical FOX studios cancelling a show before its had any chance to settle in a build viewers.

 

One of the main reasons for the show not doing as well cause FOX messed up the original order of the shows, so there were a couple of shows in the wrong order so story lines didn't exactly follow on.

 

Sadly looks like Wheldons new show Dollhouse is close to having a similar fait.

Yeah thats right, the US have just had the 4th episode in season two, but as far as I'm aware the studio has only ordered 13ish episodes so far instead of the usual 20+ for a season.

 

Season one had 12 or so as well episodes plus one that didn't air as it was a sign (basicaly a flashforward for an entire episode to show his bosses that given time the show would be a long running series) of where Wheldon was taking the show. I still think it was by far the best episode they've made so far. If you've not seen it i suggest you try downloading that episode, think its call epitaph (sp?) one.
