 560  8.7  9.5 So what if it has an oddball genre? I never would have thought that a space western could hold a lot of promise but it did. Shame on you Fox for not treating Firefly better.
Episode Count: 13 Vix's rating:
 
168 7.4 8.9 A quirky dramedy about a young woman who starts receiving messages from anamorphic items to make her do their bidding.
Episode Count: 13 Firefly Cast Member: Jewel Staite 
23 6.2 7.8 The Inside follows a team of investigators at the FBI's Violent Crime Unit. A much creepier and eminently superior tv show when compared to the more popular, Criminal Minds
Episode Count: 13 Firefly Cast Member: Adam Baldwin Vix's rating:
 
39 6.9 7.4 A pair of hostage negotiators deal with work and their budding romance. Okay so I only started watching this because of Ron Livingston. But the show really drew me in with the great mix of interesting characters and stories. So it was surprising to hear that Standoff had been cancelled.
Episode Count: 18 Firefly Cast Member: Gina Torres Vix's rating:
 
58 6.9 7.7 Apparently it's The Fast and the Furious for television. Despite the good reviews, Drive was gone pretty quickly.
Episode Count: 7 Firefly Cast Member: Nathan Fillion 
222 6.8 7.7 Though it got off to a slow start, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a pretty decent show - expanding on the Terminator mythos in interesting ways.

Description
The Fox Network has a reputation for not giving shows a chance. I've noticed that a lot of Firefly cast members who appear on Fox shows tend to have short-lived series. Some people have mentioned that the "curse" extends to other networks as well: Adam Baldwin in Daybreak (ABC), Jewel Staite in Stargate: Atlantis (NBC/SciFi) Update: May 18, 2009 Dollhouse (that had Alan Tudyk) will be back for a second season. Luckily Adam Baldwin in NBC's Chuck is still on the air and Nathan Fillion's Castle (ABC) will stick around.

Great list!
Angel being canceled had more to do with Fox screwing Joss Whedon over than the appearance of the other Firefly cast members.
I wish I could include SGA but it's an NBC show though my friend has been telling me, forget Fox, the Firefly curse seems to be spreading to other networks too - Adam Baldwin's Daylight on ABC was cancelled after 1 season.
You mentioned The Sarah Connor Chronicles but there is also Chuck which stars Adam Baldwin and that is still running.
