I wouldn't call it a fad, it's been off the air for 9 years now, and I've often seen it cited as the best Sci-Fi television series ever. Give it a try if you ever get a chance. |
My hubby and I came late to the party. We didn't watch it on tv becuase we thought it didn't make any sense. Then, we learned that Fox screwed up! They showed the first few episodes out of order - How and why, no one knows. Plus, they started the show shortly before the World Series, so it was off the air for a while. people either lost intrest or forgot about it.
It wasn't until Serenity was coming out in the theaters that we decided to rent the series from Netflix. I think we got half way through the first disc and went out and bought the set. We then saw Serenity in the theater. I was upset by some of the decisions made in the movie, but I think I understand why Whedon did what he did.
