    ...and assigning it the death-slot (Friday 8pm), and cutting the advertising for it. I don't think they ever really wanted Joss to have a hit on FOX. Someone made the deal, and someone else got put in charge of fulfilling FOX's obligations, is my theory.

    They were pissed that it cost so much to make, while "reality" was dirt-cheap and selling like hotcakes, so they torpedoed it. I hope the who cancelled the TV series all get invitations to the L.A. premiere. And then I hope that ABC picks up Firefly, and those same execs have to watch Firefly's second season kick the out of Fox's lineup.
