I have to think that Fox was kicking its own ass when the DVD sales of Firefly went through the roof and they realized they had missed something huge with this show.

I feel like I have seen this Family Guy ep but my brain can't quite recall it.

Now Fox is apparently rethinking their decision to cancel "Breaking In". Idk why, though every single article I read on the subject was basically pointing at the ratings (which were good) and going "Wtf Fox?" over the cancelation. So now they are contemplating putting it in their comedy night line-up instead. We will see.

I'm not holding my breath because as you said.../points to Firefly/
