Quote:Originally posted by Delvo: We all keep on being reminded of the Dark Angel legend, but it's substantially different in at least a couple of ways. One is that profit isn't alone in motivating the networks; there's prestige too, which Dark Angel didn't have, while Firefly is critically acclaimed and its fans are just as loyal as Dark Angel's (only with better reason). Also, and perhaps much more importantly, I just found out that Dark Angel started on a different day, built up its audience in the better market, and then moved to Friday (possibly to be killed for having never gotten good enough ratings by any other day's standards). And the competition and replacement scenarios were also different back then.

Quote:Ok, why do you people have to keep picking on Dark Angel?
Quote:I mean, if you just found out that Dark Angel started on a Tuesday then you've never watched it, have you, so how would you know if FF fans have better reason to love FF than DA fans with DA?
Quote:critical acclaim doesn't really matter if the ratings never improve.
Quote:And "back then" was several months ago, so things weren't that different.
Quote:saying how much DA sucks won't exactly help FF.
