10 Things You May Not Know About Firefly

Zach Oat of Television Without Pity has a list of ten things that you might not know about the space western Firefly. A sample:
9. A Firefly Musical Episode Was Not Implausible
No, Whedon wasn't planning one or anything like that, but the musically inclined showrunner apparently likes to sing on set, and during one break in shooting he started singing the theme from Oklahoma! Immediately, Nathan Fillion, Fillion's stand-in and a half-dozen others joined in, and they sang the whole song through before returning to work. We're imagining a hallucinatory coolant leak on board the Serenity, with feelings expressed through song and, in River's case, interpretive dance.

When I hear of plans for a musical episode for shows I love, typically I start fumbling around trying to find my bludgeoning stick, but considering the lighthearted humor throughout Firefly, and given the general awesomeness of Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog, I think it actually would have been pretty good.

Have you seen the musical episode of Buffy? It's called "Once More with Feeling." It was excellent.
