tiggy, oh, there's far worse out there. The ones with the line "Out there? It's out THERE!" are best. They actually advertised it quite a lot with those promos; during Baseball. Because all the sci-fi viewers I know watch baseball.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Here's my favourite FOX advert for Firefly: [link]
It's like a very bad fan video where EVERY CLIP EVER has been thrown in (with most of the clips from the unaired pilot), and captions. I won't spoil them. It's proof you can spend a year on a show and then have a net destroy it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's hard to judge these things now, to be honest. I wasn't actually going to check out Firefly until I found out Jewel Staite was in it. And I didn't love it for a while. But now that I do love it, it's like all the things that I think put viewers off at first (the twangy soundtrack, the random Chinese, the unexplained references to aspects of the world) I now find very endearing. So just seeing clips of the show is good enough for me. I mean, there are spaceships and action and random sex! What's not to love?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
that one's not as bad as the first one you linked, Kevin.
I remember Jewel from the short-lived show, Higher Ground.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I loved everything about Firefly from the get-go. I've wanted to live in a space-western universe since I was 7. Comes from watching old sci-fi movies and old westerns back-to-back with my grandfather.

If I only had a brain...
You know what puts the "cross" in "cross-country"?

Hey. New board.
FOX Firefly promo: [link]
This, more than anything, reminds me of those fake trailers that make 'The Shining" into a romantic comedy or whatever. I can't believe they actually used the words "cosmic hooker" in a commercial. Or paired Firefly with Smashmouth.

I still think the one which says "SET TO WARP SPEED" is the best.
