Run, don't walk...
to your nearest DVD store or website and buy Firefly . This wonderful SF series by Buffy creator Josh Whedon was a shortlived series on Fox, whose suits had their heads so far up their asses they would need a window in their belly buttons to see out (hmmmmm, what is it about network execs? Chief requirements seem to be the ability to insert their heads in places left unseen and screw up great shows) and couldn't understand it so they refused to run the 2 hour pilot which introduced the charactors, instead making Josh and Co come up with an "action-packed" first episode that, while good, left a lot of folk going 'HUH!!!!" since we had no idea where these people were coming from. Luckily the show did develop a loyal following and stuck with the show, even tho those idiots at Fox did their damnedest to keep us from watching it (prempting it for other shows, moving it all over the place, etc). Fox cancelled Firefly and tried to keep the final unshown 3 episodes,
