10: I don't remember a town run by androids on Brisco. Do you mean the town run by women? If so, that's one hell of a Freudian slip

Firefly was the ultimate injustice to fans everywhere. They should 32:37 have fired the executives that canceled this show. To this day I still scream when I rewatch this show as well as the movie. Fox made the ultimate FUBAR when they axed something that could have made them golden in the eyes of fans everywhere. SHAME SHAME on them

I remember fox had one in the 90”s called happy hour. Had some pretty risky jokes and it lasted two or three episodes and it was gone. It was hilarious though I remember that much.

I'm glad that I still have my DVDs for Brisco County, Wonderfalls, Dollhouse and Firefly. Sadly, I lost my copy of The Lone Gunman DVD in a move

While Firefly is my 1st on the list, Fastlane is second. I watched both and waited them to continue. Especially as Fastlane ended on a serious cliffhanger. Didn't read anything about them until years later and learned about their shared faith. Fastlane was so damn high effort that in my mind it was something totally groundbreaking. Blockbuster movie levels of effects and action on a TV series. The amount of slow mo and the use of fresh music was so damn enjoyable as a teenager. Flashy cars, over the top action scenes, jokes and beef between the characters and their stories were very enjoyable. Also the acknowledgement of the issues of staying undercover and how stressful constantly lying was. Lot of it didn't make much sense but I think it had just about fitting amount of nonsense to keep it entertaining. The chemistry felt really good.

"Titus" was a great show. I loved it. Watched it with my father all the time when I was a kid. When he passed away, I binged it on YouTube in part of my grieving.

Firefly, the worst cancellation from fox, they released the chapters scrambled, what made it fail over audience, but when it came out on dvd, was a big hit, but hey, was fox, ask why they had to sell it

Started with a western and ended with a western. You forgot Shepherd Book when listing Firefly characters. Also, where is John Doe?

THANK YOU for remembering the Adventures of Brisco County Junior. I was starting to think I imagined the series. I remember those horrible times, you didn’t even want to watch a Fox show because you knew they would just cancel it.

Fox has almost always been a network that employed (and still employs) studio execs who have about as good of decision-making qualities as the higher-ups of Cleveland Browns.

I still wish I could have seen more Brisco County and Lone Gunmen. Great shows.

Titis actually tackled social issues in a way more nuanced way than most shows try to today.

I think you should have put the show Alcatraz on this list. It was Fox's highest rating show at its time then got canceled for a show that didn't have high ratings and got canceled before the first season even ending

At least Brisco County Jr. had a solid well resolved ending. No cliffhangers.

Brisco County, was definitely my favorite show as a kid while it was on TV… well that and McGyver.. You could also say Family Guy until the brought it back the one instance they fixed their mistake.

Fox shot themselves in the foot. They cancelled way too many quality shows because the audience wasn't growing fast enough. Screwed themselves out of a bunch of Emmys and a butt load of money in syndication fees. So dumb!

Of the 10 shows talked about, I have…8 of these shows on either DVD or blu-ray. Profit ruled.
