One of the best shows that I've ever seen on television. Fox only bothered to show 4 episodes even though they had 13 episodes done before the first episode was even broadcast! I have the DVDs. The series is great. The producers/writers even designed a natural ending for the 13th episode so the audience wouldn't feel hanging if Fox cancelled the show. Little did they dream how much Fox would screw them over. And before I start going on and on about "Futurama," some X:WP related Fox screwing -- "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." staring Bruce Campbell. I wouldn't have minded quite so much but Fox announced they were picking it up for a second season, and then they changed their minds! The worst case of being "Fox screwed" has to be the superhero series "Mantis." Rob & Sam produced the pilot with their Renascence Pictures. Fox decided to do the series but took it away from them and gave it to a hack producer! And it became crap that lasted one season. Fox hemmed and hawed about the reason they did it, but after the Fox revised version was shown it was damn obvious. Not enough white people! Fox could accept a black genius scientist as a lead. But then Renascence Pictures had to surround him with so many black characters! And to top it all off, the hero's two assistants were from Africa! At Fox, some of the executives little heads must have exploded like self-combusting pinatas.(Ugh, I'm mixing metaphors and leaving out apostrophes.)The African assistants weren't just written out of the cleaned up Fox version. They never even existed. (sigh) __________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'm with you Daniel--we only caught the end of one ep and then the next whole one and then it was gone. It was like you say the most creative and entertaining show I'd run across I think ever. We got caught up in it immediately. I'm thrilled to hear it's on DVD with all 13 eps. It's a wonder that HBO didn't pick it up. Of course, then I wouldn't have run across it.
