Hulu pick of the week

It's a good one. One of my favorites forever and always.

Firefly

By the creator of Buffy and Angel (but don't let that deter you if you don't like either of those two shows), it's a mix of old western and space adventure. Sounds weird, right? Those two don't seem to go together. But it just works in this case. It only lasted for 14 episodes. Not even one full season before FOX canceled it, probably to make room for more American Idol (which you will NEVER see on any pick-list of mine. blech. blech. double blech.).

In a rare case of Hollywood magic, the powers that be let the cast and crew come back several years after the show was over and make a movie that was released in theaters.
