'Firefly'

Firefly ran from 2002-2003, but its cancellation wasn't the result of ratings. Instead, the Joss Whedon-created sci-fi show faced conflict behind the scenes and, rather bizarrely, an out-of-order airing schedule for episodes. With a cast that features Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, and Alan Tudyk, Firefly gained a loyal fanbase known as "Browncoats". While it was never revived as a series, the cast did return for a follow-up movie called Serenity in 2005.
