Here's how it is: Television's shallow well of creativity got used up. So they scurried around and imagined a bunch of gimmicks to create new shows. Some (lousy reality shows) were rich and flush with media blitzes, ratings, and advertisers. Others (new dramas), not so much. The reality show producers formed an alliance to wage war to bring television under their rule. A few idiots tried to fight them. Among them: Firefly. With its snarky crew of stock characters, Firefly fought its way across the inhospitable Southern California wastelands, trying to eke out a humble 6.5 share. They failed. If you've got a show, they'll act in it. They don't much care what it is. You hear me, CSI: Miami?
