I suspect the same could be said of other shows, and in particular firefly.

  Let it go, Indy. Firefly lay down for good to rest in serenity.

  Whedon had said he doesn't have time for at least 3 more years: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/joss-whedon-on-kickstarter-and-firefly?s=mobile http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/joss-whedon-on-kickstarter...

Personally I would love to see Jericho picked up again!

  I wonder what would happen to a show like Firefly[1] or Jericho[2] Caprica[3]if they were suspended after the first season, and the studio put up a kickstarter saying "We'll cancel unless we get $2m from fans of the show". At least those shows do stand a chance with fan-backing. Something like 'Rubicon' would, I think, totally fail at kickstarter even though it was good. [1] A great show. I'm not sure how well it would have lasted with the traditional US "spin out a series for as long as possible" format. But, with careful plotting, it would have been an amazing 3 season (12 episodes per season) show. EDIT: Fox hates the Firefly fanbase.

Really, this is just open contempt for people who are willingly promoting your content. [2] I really wanted to like this. I did like the first series. I really wanted an OQO (the tiny handheld computer that one of the characters has). But the second series was daft. This could have been a pretty good show and it's a shame it's gone. [3] Caprica was good, I thought. Had some interesting concepts.

    >A great show. I'm not sure how well it would have lasted with the traditional US "spin out a series for as long as possible" format. I think Joss Whedon has shown himself to be capable of maintaining quality in long running shows with Buffy and Angel. There are a few dips in both, but on the whole they pretty much just get better and better.

  I have never backed a project as a poor college student, but I would back Jericho in an instant
