I have to differ. Don't get me wrong, B5 is great, but "Firefly" was the best Sci-fi series ever. Reasons:
1) good space physics: i.e. no sound in space.
2) No aliens that look just like humans with funny noses.
3) Strong conservative/pro-capitalism themes. Anti-big government.
4) excellent acting.
5) Truly scary bad guys (Niska, Government agents, Reavers).
If you haven't seen it, get the DVD's of the first (and only) season, then see the movie in September...if you are on this forum, and like Sci-fi AND don't love Firefly I will be shocked.

It was a shame that Firefly got stuck in Fox's "Friday Night Death Slot" during the baseball playoffs. Even X-Files barely survived that time slot. Between that, skipping the real pilot and broadcasting the shows out of order it was no surprise that Firefly didn't survive.
Can't wait for the movie - and I hope someone like Sci-Fi channel will have some sense and pick up the series.

Ooops! Forgot Firefly. Good show. pity. Do have DVD.
Actually it is only half the first season, show was killed in mid season. Like Crusade, it was killed just as the story got interesting.

Firefly was potential greatness, but was cut-down by network nitwittery before it could achieve its potential (just like B5:Crusade). I have both B5 and Firefly on DVD; I highly recommend them.

Firefly intrigued me too at first even though one of the main characters was a prostitute. Shortly before the show was discontinued, they also started to play up a pro-homosexuality angle, which wasn't good.

I got the Firefly DVD for Xmas. My daughter felt pity for me when I said I wanted it, but it was so expensive.
I can't wait to watch it.
Well, I guess I can, since I haven't done so yet, but...
