Science Fiction often stretches itself to capture a wide range of possibility. Truly a genre that can mold itself to please any number of fans. So why would some sci-fi titles perform well while others fail? That’s a question we’re hoping to answer looking at Doctor Who and Firefly.

Doctor Who (02:15) - This show really puts the fiction in science fiction. A Time Machine shaped like a phone booth; A strange man from an unknown place; and teachers that stalk their students. Who wouldn’t want to tune in to that?

Firefly (36:59) - If anything, space should be more like a western. With a vast expanse of lawless lands and criminals, what else would come of it but outlaws and watering holes? Unfortunately, that didn’t quite work out for the creators of Firefly only lasting a single season.
