Firefly DVD Set Released

Richard M. Nixon writes "As previously reported the DVD set for Joss Whedon's ill fated Western/Space Opera is now available. The DVD has all 11 episodes that aired, 3 episodes that didn't air, commentary on 7 episodes, and lots of bonus features including Joss singing the Firefly theme. It would make a nice Christmas gift for any Whedon fan who has not already run out and bought it. If DVD Sales are good enough, could we see a second season?"

Re:Maybe cause Everybody Loves Raymond is good?

Nope, it's by far the worst non-reality show ever to disgrace the airwaves. Not only is it not funny, but the timing of the show is so miserable that it makes me sick... after every 'joke' there is a 20 second pause as the camera focuses on the actor and plays the laugh-track. Every one stays frozen for 20 seconds or so as this continues. It's horrible. And the jokes are never funny.

Example: A girl walks in with a pretty red dress, raymond say "You look like a prostitute" and the laugh track plays for 20 seconds as the camera stays focused on Raymond (it might shift over to the girl in the dress to show her outraged face for 10 or 15 seconds afterwards). How this show can stay on tv baffles me.

I think people watch this show and think it's sophisticated and intelligent because it has piano music as the theme song. It must be sophisticated if that's the case....
