NBC didn't change the show; it simply showed patience.

Holy crap, Neal. I was just thinking about this at work today. Specifically, I was thinking about how networks don't allow shows to catch on and mature like they did with Cheers. Get out of my head, man.

Network TV and brains sounds often like a contradiction, I will never ever forgive CBS for cancelling NX...

The whole series business looks so fast-paced and generic. "Uh this one didn't work in the first 3 weeks, we'll quickly put out the next show" One of the reasons most seasons today contain only 13 episodes.

A show like Star Trek would never had a chance if we had this short-term thinking of today back in the 60s. (off the beaten path, too strange, too complicated)

Btw, these series sound like some cool new funny shows, I'm going to check them out as I'm waiting impatiently on the return of "Curb". After my conquest of America, LD and Seinfeld will be forced to put out at least one show every day, muhuahua

IN looking for that pic, I stumbled upon the fact that Fillion declared interest (maybe jokingly) in purchasing the rights to FF. But when the fanbase got wind of that, apparently there's a movement to assemble the funds to make that happen.
