FIREFLY AWARENESS. and my Jayne hat

My favourite TV series of the last decade was Firefly. And whilst some if not most people that have watched it won't agree with me, most will agree that it is an exceptional TV show.

For those of you whom aren't acquainted with Firefly. It was the follow up TV show by Buffy creator Joss Whedon, aired on September 20th 2002 it was cancelled on December 2002 after only 11 episodes. To sum up that quick cancellation under the phrase one of my friends Harrison often uses- 'you guys weren't there when the show was on TV, but now you're like wearing the hat!'

Actually that phrase was directly in reference to the show... but it's true.

And there you have it, years on people are still celebrating the awesomeness of Firefly despite the cancellation. In fact one of the cooler things I have noticed is how people will discover it today and love it as if it were still on TV, and hence where this blog and my Facebook photo album comes into play.

What started out as a 'thing' me and my fellow DS London friends did turned into a little advertising machine on Facebook. People wondered where the hat was from and then would check out the show.

So if you a fellow Firefly fan, feel free to add me up on Facebook or send me a photo on here, I'll Photoshop it on your melon!

I don't think we can get a sequel for the film by getting enough hats on people's heads, I just want to spread the joy. And at least with this blog it will make you think about catching it some day, after all thats how I got into it - link to blog that made me want to watch it, plus if you check the comments you can see one that I wrote ages ago.

And remember 'can't stop the signal'

Never saw the show, but I love Serenity, which if I'm not mistaken (and if I got this mixed up, I'll feel like and idiot) was based off this show?
 
Like I said, loved that movie, and will have to check out the series. It's a shame it got canceled, I'm sure after checking some of it out I'll be dying for more. But I guess you've had to go through that, huh?

Doll house is cancelled so maybe he'll revisit this. Really nobody from the cast has anything going on other than Nathan Fillion doing that kind of painful-to-watch Castle.

Such a great show. This, Doctor Who and MST3k are hands down my favorite shows.

Best show ever. I might have to watch it again after reading this.

Best show of the decade?  Firefly is the greatest piece of human entertainment ever created.  It probably won't get any better than Firefly.

Watch it on Hulu every once in a while. They're cycling through the episodes right now. Also, since Hulu is studio supported everything you watch it there, its tracked. 
 

Great show. 
<3 Jayne Cobb.

That's it, I've changed my ringtone back to the one it was before. 
 
Here's a hint: 
Oh, He robbed from the rich 
and he gave to the poor. 
Stood up to the man 
and he gave him what for. 
Our love for him now 
ain't hard to explain. 
The hero of Canton 
the man they call Jayne. 
  
 
 
I like Wash a lot more though, his random sillyness is just pure gold in my eyes. 
"Oh, my God. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing?! 
Oh right, that would be me, back to work"

Firefly was a fantastic show with a fantastic premise, and hopefully one day we will see more from this universe (maybe not necessarily the Serenity crew). It was one of my favorite TV shows of all-time. Hey, if the TV thing doesn't pan out, maybe a video game is just what this series needs.

Omg yes i absolutely LOVE firefly
i am so gutted that it was only a one series/one film thing!
Jayne is by far my favourite character :D
Awesome hat!
i want one D;

I like Firefly. But it's nothing special. Wouldn't have cried a tear about the cancellation, if I was aware of it back in the day. Now 'Kings' is a show, which was too good for TV and its cancellation was a crime against humanity.
 
By the way - if you like/love Firefly/Serenity, you will love everything from Leiji Matsumoto. His shit is the real Space Pirate/Cowboy shit! And I certainly love me some Interstella 5555.
 

I absolutely love Firefly, but like you said, lots of us don't agree and I don't think its the best of the decade. What it managed in a few episodes though, is nothing short of breathtaking. Successful characterisation and a plot worth a damn. I wasn't keen on Dollhouse (Whedon's recent, cancelled show) but it picked up enormously in the second season and with a end date drawing near, started firing on all pistons (it quickly moves away from stand alone episodes to a much more interesting story arc concerning the technology and where mankind is headed) - worth looking out if you're a fan.
 
For the record, I have loved a lot of tv over the last ten years and as far as I'm concerned are only now moving out of the golden age.
 
Literally scratching the surface (and only the BIG names really)...
 
The Wire
The Sopranos
Battlestar Galactica
Angel
Lost
Firefly

Firefly was the best show which ever made it to the small screen.  Bumpage for Whedon love.
 
I find it so strange that it's divided people at all really.  It has heart, comedy, excellent action, proper silence in space and a well chosen cast all of whom bring something original to the show and the science fiction genre as a whole.  I can't say that I love all of Whedon's works but when he does something well he does it extraordinarily so and really schools people who've been giants in the genres which he succeeds in.  Dr Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog is another example of Whedon showing the people who've been succeeding at internet episodal content just how much further the envelope can and needs to be pushed for new content audiences to sit up and listen.
 
 

I saw the first episode on Hulu, it was like Han Solo: The TV Series. Pretty interesting, but I never really felt to continue to the second episode. I should try it again sometime.

The guy who called Castle painful to watch is delusional, that show rocks. Love Firefly also.
 
I think the OP would appreciate this intro to one of the episodes of Castle

Which first episode? The one that was aired first or the official one?  God, the cancellation of Firefly, and the dumb circumstances and reasons as to WHY it was cancelled are one of the greater TV tragedies of the 2000's.   The time was right, the quality was there, and the audience was there - it was just incredibly stupid broadcasting policy and retardedness that nipped this gem in the bud.
