I'm so sick of the redundant bitterness and how any discussion about unfairly cancelled shows gets flooded with this "just look at Firefly!" attitude as if it is objectively THE MOST PAINFUL EXAMPLE GOD WONT ANYONE SAVE THIS SHOW FROM FOREVER AGO BAWHH. Yes, people have gotten quieter about it in fandom circles, but not on Facebook, etc. and definitely not IRL.

I clearly don't hang out in cult show fandom circles, 'cause I think the first time I ever even HEARD of "Firefly" was in an episode of "Community", when one of the characters referenced it. Nobody I know offline ever watched it, let alone would've even heard of it, that's for sure.

And since then, the only time I ever hear it discussed is in fandom talk online. Even with that, though, I've been fortunate enough to not really encounter much of the more pushy fans that some people here are describing. I hear people occasionally lamenting its early cancellation, sure, but it doesn't happen often enough to where it would annoy me.

It was painful though. It was obviously painful enough to be a huge example of unfairly cancelled shows. Just because you didn't care much for it doesn't make it any less painful.

My parents watched it while it was airing and bought the DVD's. One day I happened to watch it out of boredom and thought it was amazing. Then I had my soul crushed when I realized there wasn't another season. I mean, I've had shows I liked get cancelled but Firefly was such an interesting and unique concept with a lovable cast of characters... it's just a shame.

Other shows that get cancelled are usually the same type of shit, police drama or office comedy that we've have a hundred other similar shows. Others shows that get cancelled have just run their course. Firefly just stood out a lot more for people. That's why it's a good example for the pain of unfairly canceling a show.

^exhibit A, zealous fan assuming you're not a fan if you can think of better shows that got cancelled.
