I've never seen Firefly but if Fox would cancel Arrested Development (best show ever IMO) they'll cancel other great shows.

And the reason we see reality TV everywhere now is because they are CHEAP and people watch them. They limit the financial risk that networks take when starting a new series.

Thankfully the only show I watch on Fox right now is Glee and it is renewed through like season 4 or something. And Fox won't cancel Glee anytime too soon as it is their cash cow (the songs, CD's, memorabilia, tour) plus the show is ranking in the top 20 and has won them 2 Golden Globes, hence they won't be cancelling it anytime soon.

Truly I think that is what it takes for shows to actually succeed (winning awards).

I think it's all about ratings. Arrested Development won a boatload of Emmy nods but was still cancelled.

ETA: I've never seen Glee but from what I read on my FB feed that show seems to be pretty well watched.
