Having watched Trash, I now feel that Joss should pitch a new show for the next fall season. It's a wacky comedy about a husband and wife team that travel around outer space committing various crimes and misdemeanors. At the end of every episode, they double and triple cross each other.
Oh! They could pitch it to Fox with an audience participation element. The TV viewers get to vote on who comes out on top at the end, Mal or YoSafBridge.
I can see the promos now...

OK, not having seen TRASH, is this a recommendation or a dis? And at Fox or ME?

It's a recommendation of the episode. As usual, any praise of a FF episode comes complete with the Daily Recommended Allowance of disdain toward Fox.

Our wings are not tired.
Having seen Trash ITA! And I would watch.

Oh well, I figure that's a given. There's SO much Fox deserves the abuse for (The Tick, Action, Futurama - the trail of the dead and dying goes on).

FOX really can't win though—consider the genre show that they did give time to garner an audience, and then kept on the air years and years and years after it should have been put out of our misery.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Heh - I was thinking about adding a comment about X-Fliles, and how Fox probably demanded certain things that ended up ruining the show, but then I figured - Why let Chris Carter off the hook for anything. He definitely Peter-principled himself, so why blame the suits.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Just watched Heart of Gold.
Interesting musical note: The whore who sings at the end is Angie Hart, who also sang in "Conversations With Dead People". She used to be in the Australian band "Frente!"
