Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly

Posted by Zonk on from the i-guess-they-can-take-the-sky-from-me dept.

Ant writes "Entertainment Weekly is reporting on the end of Firefly." From the article: "Alas, Whedon's fond memories are also tainted by Serenity's status as a franchise nonstarter; despite Universal's best marketing efforts, the film only mustered $25 million. 'In the end, it was what it was: a tough sell,' says Whedon, adding that it appears the Firefly saga has reached its conclusion. He has no regrets -- and he's moving on."

    Fanboy. C'mon, there are all kinds of equally, or more entertaining shows. It was that good of a show, yet all the computer nerds, and sci-fi geeks hopped on board because it was there wonderful "Joss Whedon". Hell, he did Angel and Buffy, I can obviously think of a couple better programs than those!! Stop acting like a fanboy. . . There are plenty of other things to do.

    Lessee.

    On Fox. House. Bones. Both on Tuesday nights.

    On the WB. Supernatural. Smallville (which has finally gotten good again after last seasons jumping over the shark and into a pile of crap).

    On NBC. Four Kings (coming soon). My Name Is Earl.

    There's lots of good TV, you just have to be willing to give it a chance.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Firefly sucked. It deserved to die as early as it did. The movie was a waste of money that should have gone to a superior franchise. Sorry fan boys.

    I doubt there are 100,000 people who would watch Firefly for *free*. Much less PAY for it. I sure as hell wouldn't.

    Oh just because the only 2 black characters in the movie die at the end you think they were tokens?

    Or were you talking about them having to kill the weird girl when she goes berserk?
