You know me too well Alan! This is fun! Reminds me of the "Beep Beep Yr ass" T-shirt I saw as a kid at an auto show.

pull up pull up!!! *beep beep beep* IM NOT GONNA MAKE IT AHHHHH

^ ^ btw thats bt in the bathroom... not commentary from the probe.

Wow! Look at that! It went "beep, beep, boop, beep", and then the screen went all flashy-like! Cool!

You had me at "beep beep".

The series is set in the year 2517, after humans have arrived at 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".

The show explores the lives of people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and now make a living on the outskirts of the society, as well as 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.

Mal - Latin, for bad.

I found this while searching for the reason firefly was canceled.

Dear Joss,

After that power brunch we had yesterday I just thought I'd send you a memo and let you know that I've talked with the other executives here at FOX and we've decided to give your little space western idea another chance. However, and I'm sure you'll understand why, we ask for a few simple adjustments to your marvelous show idea before we can continue.

1. We need to have things blow up more often. Something should blow up at least once in between every commercial break. Two or three things blowing up in between each commercial break would be even better.
2. The women on the show should kiss the men on the show more often, and each other just a little less (as in, not at all).
3. The name "Firefly" doesn't seem to properly convey the idea of a space western. We recommend you rename the show "Space Western" so that the viewers don't confuse your show with a PBS documentary about fluorescent beetles.
4. The focus groups who reported to my assistant after viewing one of your episodes said they didn't really understand who the bad guys were. We recommend you have all the good guys on the show wear white hats and all the bad guys wear black hats, so the viewers are better able to keep track at a glance just who they're supposed to be rooting for.
5. We recommend you add a new character to the show. A cute little girl. Focus groups respond best to dark haired girls who are about nine or ten years old. We know this is a science fiction program so we recommend you make her a robot who speaks in a monotone manner and takes anything other characters say very literally, to comical effect.
6. The women on the show are wearing too many clothes.
7. You put the show in outer space but I don't recall there ever being any actual aliens showing up. So we recommend you get some of your makeup guys from the Buffy tv show and have them doctor up some extras to make them look like Little Green Men or something. Also make sure they're wearing black hats.
8. Drop that Ron Glass guy. He's a bore.
9. Focus groups reported that the rooms inside the spaceship looked too much like a poorly furnished studio apartment. We recommend you repaint all the sets to make them look more like those cool sets on that old Star Trek show. Make sure there's a lot of bright flashing lights and "beep beep" noises in the background.
10. The women on the show need to be prettier. Go wherever you got that cute Gellar chick and hire some more who look like that.
11. Get in touch with the Jim Henson Company and add some aliens that are actually muppets. Kids like muppets. You can't go wrong with muppets. Or maybe get that guy who does ALF. He's been doing some phone commercials recently, but I'm sure he's available. Make ALF a guest star every few episodes and maybe we can get the 1-800-COLLECT guys to put a commercial on your show.
12. Make the 'future' of the Earth a little brighter. People wanna believe we're gonna do better. Right now the show's outlook is just a little depressing.

Of course you'll understand that we will not be offering any more money for these changes. In fact in order to broadcast your fine television show on our network, we ask for a simple retainer of $250,000.00 per episode, to defray the costs regarding a lack of interest among advertisers.

We look forward to working with you again.

Sincerely,
S. Skankowski

Dear Skanky,

Get Bent.

R2D2: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Wolf Blitzer: What R2? A message from Princess Leia??
R2D2: BEEEPBEEPBEEP BEEP

Oh Snap!

I guess they were going to different fires. And I've never thought of this before, but I guess their own siren gives them the impression that everyone hears them coming, except for vehicles using the exact same siren sound. Maybe they should coordinate their chosen sirens in order to avoid audio synchronicity. Like beep beep beep and woanh woanh woahn brrrrrrr

The music was so loud, I couldn't hear the "beep...beep...beep" when she was backing up.

...beep beep.. beep.. dit.. dit... dot.. dit.. dit dit...

NEWFLASH! This just in... this is the internet. Quit thinking or bitching or even contemplating the nature of other people's comments. You are not the comment police, there is no comment police. There can never be a way for one person to determine what is acceptable language unless we have a dictatorship.

Screw this ad hom crap. You're (collective you) mom has warts. People that like Segways smell funny.

The Rambler went "BEEP! BEEP!"

Now he should speak; then go to the restaurant at the end of the universe.
They did one impossible thing that day, why not another?

BTW: It is 'beep,' not 'beep beep.' They just recorded it once and played it twice. (According to The Simpsons.)

The desert scenery in the first two Road Runner cartoons, Fast and Furry-ous (1949) and Beep Beep (mid 1952), was designed by Robert Gribbroek and was quite realistic. In subsequent cartoons the scenery was designed by Maurice Noble and was far more abstract. Several different styles were used.

Its Beep Beep officially.

I always thought it was "meep meep" not "beep beep".
