And wonder if the market has changed that much in general. Sadly shows are still cancelled for the same commercial reasons aren't they. Amazon didn't really save the soap opera Neighbours for very long (although that survived for 40 years, bit longer than Firefly!)

It may have been saved if there was all these streaming companies back when it was canceled but time moves on doesn't it as you say!
