Fox Cancels Firefly
http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2002-12/16/12.00.tv
Joss Whedon, creator of Fox's SF Western Firefly, confirmed to fans that Fox has canceled the struggling series, but left open the possibility of shopping the show to another network. Fans, meanwhile, were organizing a postcard-writing campaign, bolstered by last week's ad in Variety, to urge the continuation of their favorite show.
In a post to the Buffistas bulletin board, Whedon wrote, "Don't think for a second that I have given up on this show. I think it has been mistreated shamefully, but the Fox network has indicated that they would not stand in the way (which they can) of my finding a new home for the show. That's no easy prospect. But I will do everything in my power, as always, to keep this bird in the air. Of course I'll post if there's any news." In the meantime, production of the show has shut down, Whedon added.
Fox will air the show's two-hour pilot on Dec. 20, then replace the series at 8 p.m. ET/PT Fridays with Fastlane. Three original hourlong episodes remain to air.
On the Tim Minear.net Web site, meanwhile, Whedon's colleague and Firefly executive producer Tim Minear said that he directed the last episode to be shot. "Fox says they're going to somehow air all eps," Minear posted. "But we're not giving up yet. Please continue to check Firefly: Immediate Assistance for updates on the campaign to ressurect Firefly."

Something told me that it didn't have very long. From the start, it just seemed like it ripped off Outlaw Star and then added a few things to make it appeal to a US audience.
