Well I play eat now actually aired on Mike -- eat those when he not the fit now. Nonetheless it's full of -- leak it. If the epicenter wine a fantasy fact an alternative and left in serious take on the firefight Ers and."

" Tennessee firefly."

I'm Carrie -- I'm less and we're here to bring you not just fantasy firefly episodes are also going to be bringing you all the latest news it isn't true. As wells and yanked it Tisch -- characters and providing you with in depth analysis about other nonexistent features of the firefly universe."

" That's right and of course if you want to hear the stuff that actually is true you need to go to www. Serenity firefly dot com and listen to the signal."

" Anyhow for today's show we did an interview with mr. David who -- from fox programming."

" Look at the show David thank you very much -- David. Just -- our audience doesn't know who you are you are the man he canceled our flight is that right that is correct have been a proud member of the fox network's programming scheduling department many years now all of whom I work depreciated by state television audiences throughout the world. And we of course I mean America a case -- David how did you start your career Lucent's. Hired by the great -- body grant and then he turned down a beetle. Yes but he did some marvelous work beyond that truly marvelous and -- and started my career in television working for CBS. Actually the first programming decision I ever -- debate is about science fiction as it happens. So are you greet -- science fiction. Reports -- can't stand it never understood what people -- unit but CBS did have a couple of science fiction -- presented to us. This guy genes something or another had a series of ideas cold it's start something. Of course I knew it was never going to slide we were already considering another science fiction show in the market just wasn't big enough to -- recommended that we would -- it. Planet of the apes series instead the export cute. Since the other guys just studio."

" But surely Star Trek -- most successful franchises of all time. Now and not that I want to say anything bad about -- the aid but you know where that now where start checking in at 35 year career. Did you think that perhaps that might have been their own decision."

" Yes but it's not really entertainment is it. Well anyway CBS decided that they didn't like my decision correctly almost certainly was so they have fortunately dismissed me from their employment and that's what I would work for fox and I understand you began your career of -- by turning down Doctor Who. That's right. Talks at the time was considering a partnership with the BBC to reemerge Doctor Who of course I -- would doomed -- failure sort of reject about what immediately. Police universal that that would needed -- movie and now doctor who's -- than most successful TV I've tried carried currently being made. With worldwide -- huge dvd sales and a fan -- numbering in the millions. So have you rejected any other series. I guess. In fact I was personally responsible for canceling future on the -- harsh realm. In fact I canceled -- little -- either reach I was really start to get a feel for the way things were going by that time. Harsh realm was electric cars project and maybe X -- well that's the whole point. I mean we're very proud of the X files especially he's not -- after we got rid of Mulder and Scully. So we didn't want anything to run so that's why we decided to kill off the competition for example. The British who called space above and beyond I remember that well there's a prime example. A couple of the guys from the X files went over to that the -- for space above and beyond started to go a lot but simultaneously. To -- insert extra strict code and we've pulled those guys expect the X files where the balloon. And then we canceled space above and beyond. Can't have that sort. Chris Carter is working on another series to really well yes. The world -- it was -- because. It was working on it with someone called gene Michael straightened. But. That would -- been through rifle companies that we cancel harsh realm to prevent that are being made. The most illustrious career move no doubt a late. Don't forget the lone gunman yes yes that was me all right enough of your career let's talk about higher law of course fireflies have never been made certainly not far -- well people let's just we -- this intellectual rubbish but would he needs to understand is that the audience -- just never go. But the -- like dvd has been consistently in the Amazon -- and for the past several much to our audience. Want to see a reality TV should he should providing questions -- not too difficult. Pop music. Programs which they can pretend contain news and most noble commercials. We believe that our audience. Harbhajan complete morons and we have to give them programming which is applicable to death target demographic. We've never understood that he came along with the show what I mean. What is it was science fiction in western. It is never got out that I actually watched of course and actually wouldn't get ratings which we demand clearly it has to go. Just like Warner Bros. did global frequency global frequency yeah. What -- wish -- Warner Bros. canceled battle for the pilotless you venture on domestic at a program redemption I like to city. And of course -- had something to do with that program so whoever was in Warner Bros. were canceled that program good aren't yet. Ben Edmonds who produced many episodes of fire flying an ambulance here wrote here that can't send that same person same reason. Canceling fire I was just sound commercial and how can that be universal picking it up and now serenity is about to become the biggest movie success story the whole time I mean. Universal or going to make a lot of money off of this is that -- fox yeah. And the don't have -- universal. What the hell do they think they're didn't -- making. I've worked for universal -- would cancel battled long time ago serenity -- never even -- mission let alone made. Don't you realize that canceling a show that was that it has made a lot of people very angry -- pot. No -- watched it so maybe the actors and they've all got new jobs now. Adam Baldwin went on to be in the inside which was canceled and you'll -- will not be wonderful which he canceled I mean. Frankly I don't see what all the fuss is about it. Anyway I can't sit around talking you all they asked ago all right well before you go we just thought he should know that we sent someone round here has to have a little shack."

" kind of slow -- reader what."

" So excellent news there the -- fireflies gone and we just -- from fox that they are very sorry for mr. who -- past decisions. But they have now seen air of their ways and every commission -- for six more seasons and that's -- from fancy firefly for this week will be back next week.
