This page is so sad to read, looking back on what happened.
But [Firefly] sounds and looks fantastic, and more importantly, I trust Whedon to do a good job. As far as the timeslot, there's no serious competition for the series, which will air early on Friday night. The biggest problem will most likely be Fox, considering they don't have much patience these days with new shows. They canceled Dark Angel after all, and that had pretty decent ratings. Fox is looking for a hit to replace The X-Files, and if Firefly doesn't perform quickly, it will flicker out quicker than you can say, "Will Buffy have an eighth season?"
