Firefly

Firefly is my replacement for Rescue Me until the new season begins. Rescue me is about a team of firefighters in New York, Firefly is a team of smugglers, on a spaceship, with a western twist.

They are good smugglers of course. With a strong and noble captain, a top shelf doctor, funny pilot, female 2nd in command, a gun slinger, a "shepherd", a "companion", a mind altered enigmatic woman, and the ships female engineer. A very young crew minus the "shepherd". They smuggle stuff I think. More interesting they deal with life, it's high's and lows, friends and enemies, luck good and bad. Of course they make it through each show, but changed somehow.
I am a sucker for stories of heroes evolving, good people persevering, and champions overcoming.

THE bad news is the show is cancelled. Seems Fox didn't really like the results. Sci fi shows generally take some time to develpp a fan base. Although Firfly looks to have gathered up around 200,000 viewers. Them a movie called Serentity came out, based on the show. Maybe the show was a season long advertisement for the movie?
