The following is an episode list for the television series Firefly. The series first aired in 2002 on FOX, although the episodes were aired out of the intended order. Three of the fourteen episodes went unaired in the original broadcasts by FOX. A sequel movie was also made, called Serenity.
The entire series and the movie are available on all DVD regions.
Unproduced episodes
Since the series' cancellation, various cast and crew members have revealed details they had planned for the show's future: •Alan Tudyk had the idea for an episode about a planet that is always day on one side, and night on the other. On the night side, Jayne accidentally spills a type of pheromone on himself and the crew, which attracts a species of dogs. The crew are then chased back to the ship by these dogs. Once there, River uses her mind powers to domesticate the dogs. •Adam Baldwin wanted to make an episode in which Jayne goes up against Mal as captain of his own ship. •Tim Minear revealed the secret of Inara's syringe, as seen in the pilot episode. Companions have those syringes for protection. There would have been an episode where she is gang-raped by Reavers. Because she injected herself with the syringe, all of the Reavers on the ship die. •According to Nathan Fillion, there was an episode in which the crew land on a dying planet. The inhabitants try to steal Serenity, after they explain to the crew about their need to get off planet. The problem is that unless they were to run into another ship along the way, with the extra passengers, Serenity wouldn't have enough fuel and oxygen to make it to the closest destination. While everyone else is asleep, Mal takes the ship himself and discovers that help never would have arrived.

Although the show had a loyal following during its original broadcast, it was canceled by FOX in December 2002 after only 11 episodes aired in the United States and Canada due to low ratings. Worried about the low ratings, fans formed the Firefly Immediate Assistance campaign whose goal was to support the production of the show by sending in postcards to FOX. After it was canceled, the campaign worked on getting another network such as UPN to pick up the canceled show. The campaign was unsuccessful in securing the show's continuation. Fans attributed the low ratings in part to actions of the FOX Network — most notably the fact that FOX had aired the episodes out of chronological order, making the plot much more difficult to follow. For instance, the two-hour episode "Serenity" was intended to be the series' premiere episode, and therefore contained most of the character introductions and back-story. However, FOX decided that "Serenity" was unsuitable to open the series, and so the second episode, "The Train Job", was created to become the new pilot. In addition, Firefly was promoted as an action-comedy rather than the more serious character study it was intended to be. Episodes were occasionally preempted for sporting events. The sequence in which the episodes originally aired varied by locality. In the United States and Canada, starting on September 20, 2002, FOX (and Global in Canada) broadcast the episodes on Fridays at 8:00 p.m. (except for the second hour of the pilot which was shown at 9:00 p.m.). The order was the following: •"The Train Job" •"Bushwhacked" •"Our Mrs. Reynolds" •"Jaynestown" •"Out of Gas" •"Shindig" •"Safe" •"Ariel" •"War Stories" •"Objects in Space" •"Serenity"
