Firefly is an American space western television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon, under his Mutant Enemy Productions label. Whedon served as executive producer, along with Tim Minear.
The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".[1] The show explores the lives of some people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and others who now make a living on the outskirts of society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."[2]
Firefly premiered in the United States on the Fox network on September 20, 2002. Despite high expectations for the Joss Whedon-led project, by mid-December 2002, Firefly had averaged only 4.7 million viewers per episode and was 98th in Nielsen ratings. It was canceled after eleven of the fourteen produced episodes were aired. Despite the series' relatively short life span, it received strong sales when it was released on DVD and has large fan support campaigns.The post-airing success of the show led Whedon and Universal Pictures to produce a film based on the series, Serenity. The Firefly franchise expanded from the series and film to other media including comics and a role-playing game.

I thought that the centered guy was from the TV show "Castle" and I had to look it up! In which he certainly is! He looks a lot younger there.
The guy i'd be talking about is Nathan Fillion, or the centered one. AKA Captain Malcolm Reynolds =D I didnt watch this show, but it looks interesting!

I LOVE CASTLE!!!!!
Yes that is Nathan Fillion and he looks younger because this show featured what 11 years ago. And other than Castle it is my most favorite T.V Series ever. I would recommend it to all, not just because if it awesomeness, but because the movie version has our name. ^_^

Lol I too looked at the pic and was like 'it's Castle!' (love that show <3) and then looking around at the other faces I found there was another I recognised. That guy at the back on the left also stars in Chuck as John Casey. (love that show too!)
I have to say Firefly sounds interesting.

Yeah this show was canceled becuase Buffy and Angel got more ratings than it did, and yes it was written by Joss Whedon, he also created the theme song for it.
