Same reason 40% of US want trump in office. People are dumb. Nielsen ratings were an archaic average based system. Lowest common denominator
BendersEvilTwin
Because sharknado is fucking awesome
911wasDigiornosnotDelivery
Ok we have them produce with their actors.
MydeslyxiasFunnyToMe
Because people liked the sharknado movies better than Firefly. It's simple economics.
MrTartle
There are at least 7 of those terrible shark movies
optimusinhisprime
Unpopular opinion- because firefly wasn't that good.. don't kill me
MightyIink
This post aged well...
MiniMarimbist98
Why is everybody hating on Sharknado? It's a beautiful story about the reconstruction of a broken family while they fight off sharknadoes
AThreeFootTallChocolateMooseWithFudgeEyes
Firefly only needed one season. And bringing it back now probably won't be worth it
HeathenAmerico
Because they cost the same as probably one episode of Firefly and are so bad everyone watches it.
SpoilersFromATimeTraveler
Fox waits until we have actual space travel, then releases more Firefly "ironically." It's a sad future.
fistermatic5000
No no no. It's because some has to pay Tara rieds bills and do you wanna pay them? Not me.

The Jews who fund the movies love sharks and tornados obviously
NZSheeps
Fuck. Almost downvoted until I read the name.

Money. Sharknados 1, 2, and 3 cost less than $10 million to make, and presumably made money. Just Serenity cost $39 million ->
NotMichaelAtAll
-> and made only $40 million gross. I bet you, Sharknado 1 (budget of $2 million) made more than $1 million in profit, with less risk.
jengem59
Fox is terrible at promoting shows that arent its main bread and butter. Futurama wasnt a main show but good enough to make profit yet nope

I’m gonna give an upvote for you finding and commenting on my five month old post.
etherbunny41
Because firefly took effort.
zombiekiller0
You know they are made to be bad watch the director vlogs they are really high quality
ADFluffy
the world is a cruel, unfair place my friend
palaeastur
Because the universe likes to hurt Joss Whedon.
ForDaSchwinn
Maybe firefly wasn't that great.

Hush your mouth!

NO. NEVER SHOW THIS AGAIN.

No. I AM THE ONE WHO DRIVES THE HELLBUS

Somebody who was learning to use the toilet when Firefly was cancelled has a drivers' license now. LET IT GO!
NZSheeps
If they've been on the toilet that long then they should.
HughLaurie
Wounds are reopened by the cancellation of Castle.
SpecimenSpiff
Nah.
Amythyst
And guess what song was playing when i came to this comment.
chockstuck
Turn away and slam the door!
thevortexmaster
I just tried watching firefly for the first time. Got 4 episodes in and it's not really my cup of tea

NoMoreRhymesNowIMeanIt
Raptorwolf98
That's bold... +1 for honesty
thevortexmaster
Haha thanks. I think it's the old west aspect of it maybe. I enjoy Joss's other stuff
SpecimenSpiff
That was a little weird for me too at first, but the writing and the characters sold me many times over. You do you though. :)

Look, the real reason is because Fox botched marketing for Firefly. They aired it out of order and at different times each week. It (1
Adthay
in defense of Fox the pilot of Firefly is better appreciated it you're already a fan, I can respect why they would try another order
BetterKnownAsJasonDarket
Just like Sony botched marketing for Planetside 2. :(
AlexintheTrees
Firefly is way overrated. The tenth time through it, I've realized its a bit boring.
palmo
It's also a Verse with a Chinese American Alliance where everyone speaks Chinese but no Asian characters speak.
PorneliusHubertII
Cult followings. a movie so bad it is ribsplittingly funny is my guess. Firefly did not get its following until YEARS after it released.
feeltheice
Which was caused because of the show times always different and episodes aired out of order
PartyMagician
That's the big issue here. Very few of the complainers watched it when it first aired. Internet love doesn't retroactively improve ratings
PorneliusHubertII
i love firefly but i didnt watch it until 2014
palmo
couldn't gain a real following until it was released on DVD and the execs didn't want to take a risk on a high budget show because they(2

were idiots and ground into a fine powder used to treat rashes. But if it makes you feel better, the comic continuation explores storylines
SpicyStewedDonuts
They weren't idiots, they just had a bad idea. There's a lot of shows they canceled. If you didn't get 24 level ratings, you got canned.
blackstone459
Sweet futurama reference
iAintNoSynthDammit
lol i loved that intro when futurama came back, where they make fun of fox
thegingerheadman
Comic continuation?!?
palmo
Yeah I think 4 comics from Dark Horse, they're kind of just outlines of stories, artwork is alright but the writing is shit.
thegingerheadman
I got so excited there :/
RavennaMagnus
That actually sounds like a nice bday gift for my fiancée. She loves firefly and wouldn't care if the stories were average. Thanks!
thegarlicawakens
Ah yes...executive foot powder.
palmo
And is kind of disappointing.
thevortexmaster
It worked for family guyy
palmo
No it didn't quality dropped a huge amount with the return because all the writers went to American Dad. And they didn't kill 2 people
uniman2
four sharknado movies......
ISellUsernames
Dont forget space sharks,snowsharks, and landsharks!!!

It's the forth awakens. They have a lot of little Star Wars puns and lines. It's so bad it's funny
Cheawing
SirFeatherbottom
And, judging by the end of it, a 5th one extremely likely
PrincessDaystar
I come from further in the future: we have 6 now
BlackDeathZombieSwede
PixilPixi
Stop
Bombideer
And 14 The Land Before Time ones. Yup.
ibringthezahs
4 is where it's at
uniman2
yet to see it but excited to watch at some point
cwheel123
THERE'S A FOURTH ONE!!! WHY!?!
mahapatih
Why not?
letmehityouwithsomeknowledge
The 4th awakens. . .
rookie23
you can say, it spun out of control.
FractalChainsaw
That should be the tag line.
SirFeatherbottom
You know what it's called? Sharknado: The 4th Awakens -___-
IAlwaysEatGlue
Heard of a cult classic? The film has a qasi-cult following that convinced studio execs
JudgeMentaI
Because Hasselhoff needed beer money
thegarlicawakens
Syfy: They do because they don't care. As long as people are talking about them...
headphonejunkie
The fourth one is still pretty good. I get high a lot though
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Haha
uniman2
have you seen beaster day? if you get high alot watch it
SilverSpades
So bad it's good.
moistllama
because they're awesomely terrible
ultrasoundscape
An awesomely terrible movie needs to be sincerely made in an effort to create good cinema. Or at least not try so hard to be ridiculous.
LimeMime565
Ahhhh wicker man...you beautiful disaster...
uniman2
because they make tons of money somehow
razgris
When production costs were $72 it's not hard to turn a profit
TooFastToBeFurious
You l, I like... JK
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Just kidding? So you don't like him?
