Never did.

Hey,

I just found this website, where you vote on if a TV show ever lost is edge. Firefly has only 70 votes, 51 of which are for Never Jumped (good thing). If we can all go there and vote for firefly into the Never Jumped section (must have an "overwhelming" majority of votes - and only has a few shows in it) we could promote firefly to people who have never seen it beofe. It also seems do-able because of the low number of total votes for the show, compared to something like Buffy which has a couple thousand. Lets see if we can push it into the Never jumped category.

(hopefully this is a new idea, hadn't seen it posted before)

Great idea!

I can't believe how stupid some of the people who posted about how horrible Firefly was. Most of these people never even saw an episode which is quite amusing.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I have voted!
And may I say that it is ridiculous...the term 'jump the shark' should be used ONLY for extremely bizarre leaps of fantasy by the writers that completely alter the show...those people who didn't like the premise of Firefly are not using the term correctly (IMO).

And besides, it isn't Firefly's fault that the network showed the episodes out of order!
grrrr argh

I seem to recall someone posting about this a long time ago, but it doesn't hurt to bring this up again!

Btw, I've already registered my vote -- Never Jumped (how could you jump in 2/3 of a serason, anyway?!?!)

Please help Haken keep this site running by occasionally clicking on some of the sponsored ad links on the side of the page!

Voted.... Must be a delay in it showing up?

Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small concealable weapons always go to the far left of the place setting.
