Here's what I don't get.

Andromeda gets renewed for a 5th season. Arguably not a great show. Yet Enterprise, while it has it's failings, is still a decent show that has to worry about a 4th season AND Firefly (yes, Arik, I bought the DVD set) gets bounced after basically 3/4 of a season.

I just don't get it.

Who the hell watches Andromeda that it would get picked up for season 5. I can't even figure out when it is even on, let alone watch it.

You cannot tell me the ratings are better than ENT's.

I think it's cheaper than "Enterprise". Plus, it's syndicated, which works differently than network shows.

I am conflicted about Firefly. I do like it alot, I am just pissed that it is no longer on the air.

Does that make sense?

i also feel pretty stupid that I missed out on the show when it originally aired. Hello, where the hell was I. I also feel that way about SG-1, but not so much so as I didn't have SHOWTIME and I thought when it went over to Sci-Fi it was just reruns, I didn;t realize they were making new eps.

I swear sometimes I think I must get drugged up and someone locks me in a closet.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the DVD release posted better numbers than anyone was expecting, which really made Universal happy. So, they're that much closer to penning a deal with Mutant Enemy for a movie deal.

As to why you didn't watch, FOX threw it on an idiotic timeslot. The only reason I was able to watch it was because of my TiVo.
