Actually, Laird did fund the incomplete episodes to be completed with his own money (when it was scrapped it was incomplete), but it wasn't meant to be more than 13 episodes. Also, FF was rushed to completion in order to be ready to air in time. With the character design more simple and streamlined, the episodes were animated quicker.
I agree that Laird is a big reason for the quality of the series. Another time, he funded the ending of "The King", to more closely (exactly) resemble the comic. The original airing's ending just had Don sitting there in the basement and didn't have the Raph shower scene.
