- The question what TV show got canceled way too early is mostly answered with this one. And while a disney reboot of #firefly seems to be in the making, we wanted to look at other #tvshows that referenced our favorite space western! Here's what we found:

If you ever feel stupid remember: you didn't cancel Firefly.
Firefly should have been on for 10 seasons.
I will forever hate the prick executive who made the decision to cancel. 😤
Wish it had
42 seasons 😂
Firefly is going to come back in the future 😂
Nah, 6 seasons and a movie.
Not TV but the Halo game "ODST" is full of Firefly references:
- Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin are all members of the cast
- Random marines/ODSTs will say "gorram"
- Baldwin's character will sometimes call his weapon "Vera"
- Tudyk's character is the ODST squad's pilot
- The achievement for lighting a Drone on fire with a fire grenade is called "Firefly"
Nice, thanks for the hints!
There's also times where the marines say "Shiny" when something cool happens or when they kill covenant forces
Yes 🙌 ODST is my favorite Halo and this is a big reason why.😊
If you look at Adam Baldwins character long enough (like most character in most halo games) sometimes he will go on the "i'll kill a man" rant from the show
Castle's mom and daughter going to a spa retreat called Serenity.
Mom to Castle: [incredulously] *_"You've never heard of Serenity?"_*
There's another bit in Castle where Filllian starts speaking Chinese, and says something about picking it up from a show he loved.
I believe also that they also referenced “shiny” a few times for a drug they’re trying to get off the streets I think, been a long time since I watched Castle.
Theres a few others like a scene Castle puts on blue latex gloves and puts up 2 fingers up on each hand in a fluid motion. 2 by 2, hands of blue.
Then a scene where he tries to shoot a guy, ends up shooting the guys gun. Beckett says "hell of a shot Castle" Castle replies with "I was aiming for his head." Last reference, I remember is in a later season Castle and Beckett are investigating a murder at a Scifi con at an Exhibit for a scifi show called "Nebula 9". Castle pokes fun at her for liking it and lists off a few "good" Scifi shows, last one he references is "That one Joss Whedon show"
And many of the crew has had guestroles on castle. Torres, glau, staite and Baldwin from memory.
@@sean_mccadden And that quote itself was a reference to the British series Blake's 7.
@@HariSeldon913 It turns out the "I was aiming for his head" line had occurred in several shows / films. It's more of an homage / meme at this point.
Missed another one in castle, castle says I was aiming for his head after the first time using a gun, which was a reference to the scene in the episode train job.
Yeah, thanks for the hint! There's also a another "shiny" reference in Chuck - but I mostly try to pick one reference per TV Show. :)
@@numbnuts Castle also hold up 2 Fingers while wearing blue gloves (Two by two, hands of blue).
Isn't there another one, where Castle speaks mandarin and says he learned it from a TV show he used to love? xD
@@sweeps3360 @eva tesche I didn't knew about those! :)
Never really watched castle. Caught episodes here and there.
Didn't a few Firefly actors appear on Castle as well?
The Serenity flyby in the pilot to the 2004 Battlestar Galactica series is a good one.
I'm gonna have to pop that disc in again. I just watched BSG not to long ago. Been trying to find models for both Firefly and BSG.
@@airhammer6203Yeah, I’d go for a Firefly model!
@@airhammer6203 It flies in just before Laura gets her diagnosis in the mini series.
@@The22ndDoctor thanks, Who 22
You missed one from Big Bang Theory where Sheldon says the president of FOX is nr 1 on his arch-enemies list for cancelling Firefly.
Also when Sheldon and Leonard are filling out the roommate agreement and agree to set aside time each week to watch Firefly.
Or the episode where Nathan Fillion guest starred as himself and Leonard and Raj made him recite the "floral bonnet" line to prove it was really him.
It is a crime against the sci-fi genre that they cancelled Firefly.
It's a crime against all genre's for all of history that they cancelled Firefly!
That's it, I'm watching the series again.
Can only handle so many Firefly recommendations, and once you click on one you get more...
Enjoy! ;)

"Girl's a math genius, can't even figure out how to call Serenity."
Love your Username @Happy Slapsgiving!
You know, her top is kind of a purple-ish color. And purple bellies are the ones adding in all the thes
In the Percy Jackson movie (terrible movie, but Nathan Fillion was awesome as Hermes) Hermes is commenting on a fictional show "Best TV show ever, so of course....cancelled" (stares in the distance)
There are cows in space.
See Episode 5, "Safe"
The Dollhouse one is subtle and brilliant. But, considering it's another Whedon show, that's not at all surprising.
I love Dollhouse! It’s a shame they rushed season two I felt it would have been better if they could have taken their time and done the plot justice. I know they were worried cancelation and rightly so, but it jumped the shark with season 2.
@@jammin2575I believe Joss was told at the end of season 1 that he was only going to get one more season, so he had to quickly wrap it up. At least it didn't end on a cliffhanger.
I believe there are Reavers in the background in one of the boxes/cages of Cabin in the Woods. Which would make sense as Josh Whedon was involved in writing/producing of the film.
There will never be enough of these! I think Phineas & Ferb had one. It was playing in the background and caught my attention but sadly, there's never another browncoat around to validate.
Thanks for the hint! :)
you forget where Sheldon mentions Firefly being on forever in TBBT episode of Lenard moving in with Sheldon
And where he says the president of FOX is nr 1 on his arch-enemies list for cancelling Firefly.
fuck that show. Summer needs a better agent.
I think I'll go rewatch the entire thing again. For the... I forgot how many times.
Nathan Fillion playing Richard Castle playing Captain Malcolm Reynolds .... it doesn't get any better than that.
I completely forgot Summer Glau guest stared on Chuck
The Castle one is so good "Didn't you wear that like 5 years ago, isn't it time to move on?"...
The one on Chuck was a Firefly reunion!
Love all these. Except big bang theory. Man that one sticks out as just being pandering schlock instead of loving tribute.
It's not my favorite either, to be honest.
100%
The better one in BBT was when Nathan Fillian made a cameo as himself.
@@taun856 I missed that. :(
Didn’t Sheldon once say there are two there were three people he never trust or something, Leonard, Darth Vader and Rupert Murdoch because he owns FOX, the network that canceled Firefly?
Firefly and Jericho, both shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I love Firefly.
I wish Disney hadn't gotten its mitts on it.
If Disney starts to continue Firefly, we'd be looking at another Star-Wars-situation there.
Indeed. Firefly as we know it would be dead.
No way they would allow a Malcome Reynolds type character in the lead. Let alone Jayne.
@@DocMicrowave correctly.
@@DocMicrowave I mean, it already is dead. A more accurate comparison would be that instead of bringing it back to life, they would turn it into a horrible Frankenstein monster-kind of undead mess which would have been better left dead.
@@jessiehogue. It is indeed dead. And deserves to be remembered for what it was. A uniquely interesting and very entertaining show, that cannot be duplicated in this day and age.
You know it occurred to be that it would not take much cannon juggling to put "Cowboy Bebop" and "Firefly" in the same universe. How cool would it be for the Firefly to be chased down by the crew of the Bebop, and a gunfight ensue between Malcom, Cobb, Spike, and Jet. In the end Jet and Spike let the Firefly escape when they realize how corrupt the people who put the bounty on them were.
Sounds awesome! ;)
Except that in Firefly Earth was, well, “Earth that was”, and the verse is some other solar system entirely while in Bebop Earth is just fine and dandy.
You produce the graphic novel, I'll buy it twice.
First episode of Firefly Mal uses an anti air/space emplaced gun and when he activates the HUD to aim it starts up with a Weyland-Yutani logo visible. That puts Firefly in the same universe as the Aliens Movies. Those movies have crossovers with the predator franchise AND they mention that the Tyrel corporation was a competitor for W-Y. The movie Soldier was supposed to start with the battle of Tanhauser gate that was mention in Blade Runner and while that was cut for budget reasons it is mentioned on screen in his military service record and one of the flying cars being seen in a junkyard. So if you want an extended universe Soldier, The Blade Runner moves, The Alien movies, the Predator movies, and the series of Firefly and the following movie Serenity are all set in the same shared universe just at different points in the timeline with the Predator franchise going back several hundred years so I think it would be the earliest and I think Serentiy being the farthest forward since it is around 500 years in the future.
If you want to go into comics and other stuff that may or may not be canon there are even more things that could be linked in like the fact that Batman fought a Predator once but the stuff I listed was all on screen in shows and movies
@@hackerx7329 From what I read up in the making of books they re-used a lot of sci-fi props to offset the cost of production, for example the uniforms of the Alliance guards are Starship Trooper costumes and repurposed guns. So it could just be just a means of saving money instead of connecting universes. But cool if it’s on purpose.
There’s a great one in the Killing. Joel Kinneman has a tattoo across his chest that says “Serenity”. Jewel Staite plays his girlfriend. She says “serenity? Sounds like a strippers name.”
Season 2 Episode 2 of Warehouse 13, the actors who play Kaylee and Simon guest star and have a “will they won’t they” relationship where they eventually get together in the end
Thanks for the hint :)
3:18 Do I really need to be the guy who says "It's just Serenity"?
I've corrected multiple people on this. I'm sorry, it just drives me crazy. Even the channel SciTrek, a Sci-fi channel, continues to do it. If they specify it in the actual show, as Inara did, respect it.
Serenity appears in Ready Player One at the start of the final battle
You missed the one on Castle where he talks in Chinese then comments he leaned it from an old show he loved
So many shows that didn't get axed ..that will never get a mention anywhere and nobody cares about. I hope all those responsible go to a:
' special .... '
You are very welcome to mention them right, here right now! :)
I bet they talk at the theatre
You missed one from Castle... although subtle he swears in chinese and makes an off hand reference.
God dammit now I have to watch Firefly again!
Shouldn't that be 'Gorram It!!!"?
Serinity had a cameo in Ready Player One.
you missed a couple more castle references. hands of blue scene and where fillion spouts a bunch of chinese and becketts like "summer abroad? nah tv show i really loved"
Nice, good catch!
Also shoots a gun out of someone's hands and says he was aiming for the head
I'm still looking for a chance to use the "I can kill you with my brain" line IRL.
Let me know how that went afterwards :P
I once declined a meeting by saying I'd see them at the corner between No and Where. They didn't get it ;)
If I had a dollar for every time Nathan Fillion played a space cowboy with Gina Torres I’d have two dollars which isn’t much but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
Ahhh chuck ❤️
I missed or forgot the Librarians one. The Castle bit was too obvious not to miss. I noticed the Dollhouse reference immediately. Chuck... I've seen the whole series, and I never put two and two together. lol
Everything else I haven't seen.
There is also a subtle reference in the tv show The Killing, the male lead has a "Serenity" chest tattoo and his girlfriend is played by Jewel Staite, who played Kaylee in Firefly
underrated show
there was an episode of stargate sg1 where they parody a bunch of other Sci fi shows and they mention how one of them loved an obscure show that got canceled after 1 season but it did well on DVD after.
Superb Vid And Yet There Are More. One Of The Best SciFy Shows Ever.
I have to rewatch chuck
Kind of obscure, but when Castle shows up at some big party, the mayor says "I didn't know you were going to be at this shindig."
Also in Castle:
*Nathan speaks Chinese*
"Semester abroad?"
"TV Show I used to love."
Castle one was great
there was another in chuck. when chuck irst sees Casey's car (as Casey is polishing it) he says "it's shiny" and casey replies I know and describes what it is
Thanks for the hint! :)
That just made my day.😊
There are actually multiple references to firefly in castle.
2:43 trying desperately hard not to smile
You should see the Firefly parody called "Mosquito".
Was gonna say you forgot percy jackson, but you specified tvshows.
Apparently Disney owns the rights now ... Oh God no please no
Jesus that made me depressed.
There's a special place in hell reserved for the Fox Executive who canceled the show.
what is the Eliza Dushku show?
You can find all the shows (in order of appearance) in the descirption :)
Dollhouse. It's actually worth a watch if you can get through the first 6 episodes or so.
@@takewithfood Thanks for the tip! :)
Dollhouse is a great show. It turned a lot of people off because it seemed like it was over-sexualizing the characters.
That's the point.
It's a stab at Hollywood beauty standards and over-sexualization in advertising and media.
Need it now
This should mostly be Castle
There could be like a half an hour video on their references alone.
Now I do too
Battlestar Galactica had one
there were like 13 blatent firefly references on castle alone lol
i got the shiny part in this username :)
Bones at 1:20 was incorrect. This was another show
True, my mistake. I corrected it in the description :)
Thank you!!!
I will never forgive FOX for cancelling Firefly
Browncoats unite!
Little did we know, Nathan Fillion really needed to move on from his Firefly role.
On Blindspot, Patterson mentions her boyfriend's Firefly DVDs.
Thanks for the hint!
Fox! what "geniuses"!..
Does a parody count? In The Orville, there was a scene where Ed and Gordon were in a shuttle approaching a scavenger ship and Gordon was afraid they were going to cut off their skin and wear it like a suit. ruclips.net/user/shortsoYk7vHWN0Yk
Anybody else have to skip the Big Bang Theory one?
You missed more from Castle.
Thanks for the hint. I try to limit myself to one example per Show per video :) But I'll check out the other ones
@@numbnuts Most are from Castle I think.
👊🏻 shiny 😉
1:30 and he became a serial killer
which ep is that from TBBT?
It's from "The Terminator Decoupling" you can find every episode listed in the desciption with an imbd link.
Was it really that good of a show? What's it about?
space cowboys and space zombies
The Big Bang Theory really stands out here as being complete ass.
Most overrated show ever. Trash show.
And yet you clicked on this video 😂
@@theeyeinside3856 Nope. Popped up on the home page, clicked to post a comment, kick back and laugh at guys like you. Didn't watch one second of it. Hahahaha!!!
@@stanley-fghijk441 I love guys who post crap like this, then sit back, steeple their fingers, and laugh manically at their dastardly brilliance. Right before sipping wine as pretentiously as possible.
It does make me feel a bit better that my life isn't anywhere near as sad so.. thanks.
@@SunGawdRa Loooove the dorky, whedony snark. Right on brand for a firefly-obsessed loser like yourself. Just... perfection.
Gotta say, really enjoy proving there are still losers like you out there so deeply invested in this mediocre, cringy TV show that they take any slight to it personally. It's awesome to know no matter how far I fall, I'll never be as embarrassing as a simp like you who defines himself through a TV show no one watched🤣. Thanks!
@@SunGawdRa People like Stanley are dead inside, imagine living like that.
