Ditto that. What sucks is that due to the nature of ad-funded TV, shows like Firefly that have a relatively small but devoted following will always lose to shows with broad but shallow appeal like "World's Funniest Bear Maulings". Each viewer effectively gets a single vote regardless of whether they really like the show or if there's just nothing else on. I'm hoping Internet-based video-on-demand systems can change this.
Actually it was found out by Scapers (Farscape fans) that one third of all Nelson boxes in the U.S. are located in and around New York City, so if you want to be angry with someone about most of the crap on TV, blame those in and around NYC.
