What Would the Television and Film Industry be if not for Fans

by Javier Timmerman

It is awards season and fans have an effect on the TV and picture industry, and that implies music, film, television and theatre stars are walking down red carpets to celebrate the entertainment industry all around the globe.

A real film buff wants to be prepared to sit on the settee in front of their Hi-D TV and have access to quality films all the time. It’s far better to be in a position to flip thru premium picture channels and pick out a new hit on HBO than it is to drive to the store and search for something, hoping it’s in stock.

The golden globes feature awards for TV and film productions - drawing fans of both mediums to observe the show. But it is not only screen stars under the spotlamps.

Firefly centers around an ensemble cast of the 9 folks who work and live on Serenity, a firefly-class rocket ship. When pitching the show to Fox, Whedon described them as “nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things”.

In spite of being helmed by Joss Whedon and produced by Fox, Firefly was met up with a less than stellar reaction. The show tended to average only 4.7 million spectators per episode and never managed to rank above 98 in the Nielsen Ratings. Having only been on air for a quarter, Firefly was cancelled in December of 2002. Only eleven of the 14 produced episodes ever saw air.

shortly after it’s cancellation, a loyal Firefly fanbase calling themselves “Browncoats” emerged. The Browncoats, named after the show’s group of wrestlers for autonomy, put forth their best efforts to keep their show from oblivion. They banded together to start a postcard campaign and raise money to place an ad in Variety mag.

The intertwining of their lives made the intrigue as each episode stopped with a new relationship between the two groups beginning. Doubt many youngsters thought that this was as funny as i did.

My favorite actress received one of her many awards for her portrayal of Lieutenant Tennison, this one for an Emmy ( also receiving one for Elizabeth. She has recounted that she’s not Jane Tennison, yet she becomes her and develops as each program is aired.
