I hear you. There's a guy whose blog I read, who talked about the Firefly movie coming out. I liked the series, when it was on, as did many of the people I knew. When asked why there isn't more stuff like it on tv, his response summed it up pretty well:

"I give unto my friends the boxed set, and they say, "Verily, this kicks ass, why is there not more of it?"

And I tell unto them "Because American television can barely find it's own ass with the help of Ass-detecting Assometers run by Assy Asserton, Asstronomer and Winner of the Ass-Centric Assembly's Golden Ass-Finding Trophy Three Years Running."

Yep. That's why.
