I think the issue is that few people are willing to put things in different genres at the same time. Now, Rotten Tomatoes limits me to ten categories (can you believe that?), but I've put things into all sorts of odd cross-categories. I can't do Western and Fantasy/Sci-Fi, because I haven't got room for a Western category (really), but, yeah, if I did, Firefly/Serenity would go in it. When I get around to Chicago, it'll probably be Musical-Mystery/Suspense. Dear Frankie is Drama-Animation/Family. (Yes, I know--animation and family should be two separate categories. I just don't have enough categories to work with.) And so forth. It's Nu-Shimmer, kids.
