Firefly won an Emmy???
For outstanding visual effects for a series! What the hell? Granted it's not best drama, but the show still won an Emmy. If it were still on perhaps more viewers would check it out. Frickin' Fox management.

Ok, the DVD set arrives on December 9th.

I'm not sure the category of Visual Effects wil get many people to watch it (if it was still on). Since the show is over, an award won't do anything for it. If anyone gets any good things because of the emmy, it would be the effects company.

On a related note, from another forum:
Fox's new Friday night lineup premiered this past Friday, and this is what the Futon Critic had to say about it ratings-wise:
"As expected, FOX's new Friday lineup arrived with a thud as the bows of "Wanda at Large" (4.1/7), "Luis" (3.3/6) and "Boston Public" (4.3/7) finished a combined fourth place for the night in the metered markets. All three were off a total of 31% from last year's fall openers of "Firefly" (4.9/8 on 9/20/02) and "John Doe" (6.8/12 on 9/20/02) with "Wanda" and "Boston" both posting their last watched first-run episodes to date. Among adults 18-49, "Wanda" (1.9) and "Luis" (2.0) finished dead last among the four major networks while "Boston" snagged a third place finish (2.3) according to fast national data. A year ago "Firefly" and "John Doe" won the night in the key demographic. Yes kids, it's the start of a long year for FOX on Friday nights."
So Firefly beats that darling of Fox, Boston Public, in the same time slot. Heck John Doe did even better.
