20 Ways Your Favourite TV Shows Were Almost Completely Different
14. Firefly - There Was A Seven Season Plan
Few TV shows have been so tragically short-lived - and subsequently mourned - as Firefly. Joss Whedon's space western was cancelled by Fox before its first season had even ended, but has gone on to become a cult classic, along with receiving a follow-up movie, Serenity, to tie up some loose ends.
However, it needed much more than just one film to conclude everything, because Whedon's vision would've seen the show run as long as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Although he hasn't revealed specifics on what would've happened, he has spoken before of having a seven-year plan for the series and its characters, which the show, even based on just one season, was definitely set up for. Had it happened, fans would never need to lament one of the great modern TV tragedies, but instead would celebrate (had it kept up the same quality) an all-time great series.
