And director/writer Joss Whedon has the distinction of creating multiple cult hits, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and his massively popular sci-fi adventure, Firefly.
While some TV shows are only popular while they’re airing, there are some small screen adventures that are cult hits, only continuing to grow in populartity in the years following the original run.
While the latter only ran for one season, Firefly has continued to remain in the lexicon of nerd culture and TV history, eventually inspiring Whedon to create the 2005 film Serenity to continue the show’s narrative.
And the droves of fans should be super happy today, as three of Firefly’s leads recently reunited, and there’s a picture to commemorate the occasion.
