I've noticed that Television Network execs in the good old USA don't seem to like drama that's too cerebral - I get the impression, that if they could get away with it, all you'd have on TV would be wall to wall soaps & Jerry Springer type programs. I was royally pissed of when they cancelled Crusade (the follow on to Babylon 5, like Firefly it was cancelled midway thru the 1st season, before it'd had a chance to find its' feet. Firefly wasn't too bad a show, not lowest common denominator TV like Buffy & Angel were. Like Crusade, there was an on going storyline which hadn't had time to develop properly and some moron of a TV exec went and cancelled it. It does seem that TV execs both sides of the Pond don't seem to like Science Fiction (They don't seem to like anything that makes you think), after all the Moron who's now Director General of the BBC went and cancelled the BBC's biggest selling program of all time (Doctor Who) in the 90's.
