closer to 5 and 1/2 hours in total for this show... but Firefly's end wasn't because of the show at all...

It was because it's network fucked it over repeatedly. Its advertisements referenced a pilot the network wouldn't run due to time(until after they decided to cancel the show), this might not have been bad but the adverts hook involved a character introduced in the hastily made yet still good hour long pilot rather quickly. The timeslot they gave firefly competed with at least 1 of the most watched, established shows on another non-cable network(I want to say it was competing against the top 3 at that time, but Idr atm.) In other words... the time doesn't matter
