"Mosquito:
Behind the Scenes Preview"
is
a comedic parody of Joss Whedon's sadly short-lived "Firefly"
television show. Clips and interviews with the cast and crew accentuate
this humorous sneak peak at another up and coming, yet doomed
to failure, science fiction/western series.
Based on the DVD featurette "Here's How it Was," this
short was filmed and produced by a crew in and around Brandon,
Manitoba, Canada, between May 9th and June 15th, 2005.

SONG LYRICS
Take my dog, take my cat
Western without cowboy hats
Look at me I’m on TV
You can’t take this show from me
Take our doctor, make him squeal
I’m told our whore is quite a deal
We say Zed instead of Zee
You can’t take this show from me
They’re airing baseball yet again
We might not break episode ten
But you can’t take this show from me
