I remember the show. It wasn't too bad. 

And yeah, Fox is horrible about that. Anyone remember Nathan Fillion's other Fox show? Drive. After Firefly he had a show about some super secret race when he gets blackmailed into racing with a partner. Looked really promising, sort of comedy/action. I read it was canceled before the end of the first episode. The show aired a couple episodes and, ironically, got an Emmy nomination for special effects.

Fox also canceled Millennium, which wasn't bad,, Lone Gunmen, Futurama and the Tick. I don't know of the longevity of any of them outside of Futurama, but all were good shows.

I always think of my dad. Reruns came on around 11 p.m. when I was in middle school/high school in the early 90s. I'd wait up for my dad to get off work when he was on afternoons and we would watch it.
