They like him because he generates cash in the longrun--with DVD sales and the like--but they don't understand the market and aren't a patient people. Maybe that's just bitterness on my part--maybe he has backers that can get it green lit, but don't have the juice keep it going. It seems like the people who end up liking Whedon are people who have given up on most, if not all, TV. They have to hear about it by word of mouth. Wish he got a better home somewhere else. Maybe now after the Avengers has blown up gigantic Hulk sized he will.
His only flaw is that as long as he's interested in the show, it's excellent. If he moves on and leaves it in the care of others it suffers. I think he was interested in Firefly the entire time. Gads it was excellent!
