A good alternative

This is a great alternative to cable television. Depending on your area, you can receive a lot of HD channels over the air waves.
I canceled my cable and purchased one of these 4 months ago and have had a pretty good experience. The one major drawback is sometimes the reception comes in poorly and it makes whatever you're watching unwatchable. This isn't the norm, but it happens enough to warrant a warning.
What's great about it: Free HD after initial costs
What's not so great: Limited channels based on your area, loses signal
I would recommend this to a friend!

![Firefly: The Complete Series [4 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6096/6096681_sa.jpg)
Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

Sci-Fi's hidden gem
on April 29, 2008

I am a big fan of science fiction, however, I do believe that 90% of the Sci-Fi out there is terrible. Firefly is definitely a hidden gem that lands in the top 10%.
Had it not been for inconsistent time slots, Firefly would have become a TV success to surpass all of Joss Whedon's (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) previous projects. However, despite being canceled early in it's life, this box inspired enough loyal supporters to warrant a follow-up wide-release film, Serenity.
The plot synopsis will catch you up on what the show is about, but as a fan, I highly recommend giving it a shot. After episode 13, you'll be clambering to track down Serenity.
What's great about it: High production value, quality scripts, origianl world(s), and great acting
What's not so great: Only 13 episodes
