Neighbours definitely real as I saw Charlene once. And Joe Mangle.

It killed off many quality series far too early, like Pushing Daisies, Firefly, Dead Like Me, etc.

Firefly was killed off by Fox who never understood it in the first place. They showed it out of order, gave it an unpopular timeslot and demanded a mediocre “action” pilot be shot at the 11th hour. The advertising for the show was misrepresentative – it was billed almost as a farce – and they almost shitcanned the entire thing in the first place because they didn’t approve of Wash and Zoe’s interracial marriage.

Northwind asked> How far does this go?

Reality isn’t real. Though I’m not suggesting that’s an end point.

I thought it was great but wasn’t it also impacted by writers strike at the time? I think it struggled after that which contributed to the bad ending.

Didn’t they move to Queensland?
