Sad Addiction
Friday, December 12, 2003

Well, it was another dreary television day and I thumbed listlessly through my video collection just trying to find something, anything, some teeny tiny scrap of brillance to escape into. Finally, my eye caught the word Firefly scribbled onto a much abused tape where at least 13 other titles had been scratched on, then marked off as other new shows came and went. Yet I had saved this one tape, squirrelling it away so I wouldn't accidentally overwrite it. I remembered how I had casually taped the premier of a new series, not really caring if I had programmed the vcr correctly and accidentally got the home shopping network or some such fluff instead. When I viewed the show later I could not believe how incredibly good it was. To this day I still get chills watching the first show's intro and set-up. I only managed to tape 2 other shows when it disappeared from programming forever. So from time to time, when the 'drearies' take over, I reached for my worn out tape of Firefly for a boost. I was with great shock that I found this site, just chock full of people like me who thought that this was an incredibly well wrote, well acted and just plain well great show. Now I find out that there is a dvd with gobs of shows I never knew existed. Be still my heart, now I know what to ask Santa for. It's all shiny, eh?
