Firefly and Drawn together

~~LogicDonny~~ · 02-01-2007, 01:55 AM

I posted the latest dvd purchases which was

Firefly the complete series
Drawn together uncensored season 1

So I wanted to make a topic about these 2 shows and wanted to see what ur opinions about these 2 shows?

Also drawn together season 2 dvd is coming out oct 2007 when season 3 part 2 starts.

Firefly is an excellent show, but only when watched in the correct order. When it was originally aired on FOX, the episodes were mixed up and nobody knew what was going on. An act that created many angry sci-fi nerds...I should know, I went to a panel at a sci-fi convention dedicated to Firefly. As for Drawn Together, I don't know I've never seen it.

Oh, thanks! I was starting to get worried. I'd appreciate knowing where you got that info from.

Anyhow, I've never seen Firefly, but I know Drawn Together. It was such an awesome concept when I first heard of it. What could be funnier than a cartoon reality show? But, it turned out to be less exciting when I actually saw it. Instead of staying on task with their lampoons of the millions of Real World eps (and many game shows that somehow settled themselves into the accepted category of reality TV), they did a tribute to Dirty Dancing. WTF?

As for the DVD itself, I thought the uncensoredness was unnecessary. Bleeped vulgarity and censor boxes are more 'reality show'-like than this. But, since The Girls Next Door is on DVD uncensored, I guess it makes sense that Drawn Together would fit that DVD trend. Overall, it just seemed like South Park with way better animation. So, I like it. I'm just not crazy about it. There's still nothing funnier than watching cartoons being naughty tho!

Well Gobo, if you haven't seen Firefly then you should definitely go and either rent or purchase it and the movie based off of it called 'Serenity'. Honestly, I didn't get interested in Firefly until after my brother dragged me to the theaters to watch Serenity. And honestly, I don't regret doing it, the good writing and better character interaction certainly was a treat after being severely disappointed with Star Wars episode 3.

Firefly is awesome, simply awesome!

Anyone who hasn't seen better run out and buy the boxset and the movie Serenity...NOW!!!!

I haven't seen Firefly since I'm not a big sci-fi fan (if I was, I'm sure I'd watch at least one show), but I have watched Drawn Together. I think it's disgusting and very unfunny. The overall concept was interesting but I get the impression that they're just using the show to see how far they can push the envelope with gross humor and innuendo.

isn't the dvd in correct order?

first episode is the pilot serenity followed by train job which is the 2nd episode.

those who say drawn toegther is unfunny.. it's supposed to be like that.

Firefly = possibly the greatest TV show ever.

Serenity = possibly the greatest sci-fi/western film ever. But then it is probably the only sci-fi/western film ever...

I found on the region 2 DVD you don't get the full outtakes reel. So I found the rest on MySpace videos. It has stuff like Nathan Fillion making sure he's standing next to everyone as the camera does a slow full circle in 'The Message' then winds up in the middle at the end of the shot (it's mentioned in that episode's commentary). Genius.

Firefly is like every other TV series that's good. It was to good so it couldn't last long or might start making the **** they pass off as TV shows now look bad and no one would watch it anymore. So they'd be forced to make more quality shows.

*raphael_is_cool* · 02-01-2007, 06:02 PM

Wasn't it more like Fox wanted more Buffy but Joss didn't want to do more? To make a deal they said they'd commission this other show he had, which obviously wasn't considered profitable enough (it's not a dumbass reality television show, oh no!) and wouldn't get made anywhere else.

Since Fox were getting their Buffy they then figured they could run Firefly into the ground.

It just bad that Fox had to do it to a show that had so much potentional and still the movie Serenity failed because not many ppl saw it and star wars was still fresh in their minds.. the dvd sales were strong so I'm glad.

Drawn together jokes are supposed to be likethat. Isn't south park worst than Drawn Together in these kind of jokes?

That's exactly what I think of that show, yet I have a strange obsession with it. I just watch it to see which taboes they'll break. It's definitely completely unfunny though.
EDIT: Oh, as far as creepy sh*t is concerned (incest, rape etc.) Drawn Together is definitely worse than South Park.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 02-04-2007, 01:20 AM

agree. some of it can be pretty offensive...

So I wish fox would let Joss make more episodes of firefly.. I mean it has so much potentional.
