Maybe he doesn't like to see incompetence rewarded? To be clear, I have 
never seen the show and so have no opinion as to the quality of the work 
being  done, just suggesting where a desire to see a show canceled might 
come from.

I know for myself, it does gnaw at me a little (just a little) that 
shows like Firefly get canceled, while so much badly written, directed, 
acted etc. crap gets renewed.

Why would someone hold a canal to BtVS?
