Of course, Babylon 5 was also less expensive and produced by a corporate sibling, which would make FX a more natural target for Firefly.
Maybe TNT? They helped Babylon 5 when it was in trouble.And then the bridges were summarily burned when TNT nuked Crusade over creative differences with jms. I don't think they've been all that friendly to new series since, either... seem to recall some griping about their handling of Witchblade.
seem to recall some griping about their handling of Witchblade.Yeah, they abruptly canceled it while it was doing quite well. Apparently their only interest in the series was as a proof of concept to show that they could successfuly develop a new series. Once they had proven their point they apparently had no interest in continuing the show even though it was successful, so the canceled it. Sounds like a pretty stupid thing to do IMHO, but that's network exec thinking for you.
