Last Friday night Firefly managed 2.4/4 with its episode "War Stories". In November it managed 2.8/5 with “Shindig”, 2.9/5 with "Safe" and 2.9/5 with "Ariel". So it has dropped even lower. This might in part be done to its having been on a hiatus. But some science fiction viewers were likely watching the 5th episode of Steven Spielberg's Taken.
This is certainly bad news for the efforts to prevent Firefly from being cancelled.

Good riddance to rubbish, I say.
Firefly is anything but rubbish, quite the opposite. It is a fantastic sci-fi/western show the fans are trying to get back on the air, similar to the efforts of the save Farscape campaign. People who have never watched the show should not try to critique it, - instead head over to the official Firefly/Fox board to help the show get back on the air. It's a far better show than most of the drivel on TV right now. The Nielsens are inaccurate and have been for years, and I'm looking for a group that would attempt to discredit the Nielsens. Can anyone help? Please post here if you are aware of such a group.
I'm thinkin We'll rise again...
