Joss Whedon has made nothing but Cult following/classic TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and the most recent Dollhouse. If thats not enough he's a devout feminist.
Firefly is one of the best and most unique shows to come along in a long time. Its unfortunate demise should be lamented. Firefly provided a Starwars-escque marriage of western noir and sci-fi. It did not assume that everything was better in the future. Instead, Joss created and shared a glimpse into a believable future we may not be so eager to greet. I really miss that show.
