I Think I've Figured Out the Futurama Right's Issue...
you want me to adjust my schedule and spend my money because of your hypothetical speculation about characters you want to appear in a mobile app?

Fox isn't exactly smart they've canceled plenty of shows that came back in some capacity. Futurama, Buffy, and firefly come to mind.
Buffy wasn't on Fox, which is probably why it ran for seven years and Firefly (which might be my favorite show in history) only got 13 episodes.
Buffy almost only ran for 5 years. Started on the WB, then Moved to UPN for the last 2 seasons. Thank Goodness!
Regarding Buffy, I think by the end of the series, they had begun to run out of ideas... It was probably time for it to end. It had a good run, though!
Definitely would have loved to see more of Firefly. I was really disappointed they cancelled it. !
What, no one is mentioning Dollhouse?
I love Joss Whedon. I think he should be considered alongside Tarantino as a unique auteur of his generation. However, that's the reason his shows have always failed to gain an audience: he's not like other writers. Buffy did miserably in the ratings and was renewed only because people in the know knew how good it was. Firefly performed as poorly in the ratings for a more-established network that already had its prestige show (yep, the Simpsons). I'm well aware of the scheduling issues--I'm a browncoat--but it wouldn't have made any difference with Firefly. It was just too different.
Not sure what any of this has to do with Futurama Right's Issues, but I just wanna say I love Joss Whedon. If nothing else, his Much Ado About Nothing kicks Branaugh's in the something or other.
