I thought - and maybe I was naive - but by NOT watching a Joss Whedon show the network might actually keep it. And it seemed to work at first, because it got a second season. But now I think the only solution is that Joss HAS to leave Fox. Find a real network, buddy! |

The problem is a lack of viewers. THe network can't fix that :( |

Yes. Friday night prime time is the ideal time to host a show that is aimed at a fringe audience. :) |

Eh. They played this game all last season, too, to the point where they seem to spend more time on the ratings and telling people it's going to get canceled than they do on the show itself and why people should watch it. An excellent move. Also, Dollhouse has done really well online and through DVR, so we'll wait to see what those numbers look like. (Plus, kudos to Fox for choosing such an awful lead-in this week...) I watched it last night and it was a pretty good episode. The A storyline (about Echo) was okay, but the secondary stuff with Amy Acker was awesome. |

Reviving an old topic with new info: Fox has decided to air the last 13 or so episodes at least. After that, who knows... |

Jenn was just mentioning last night that it seemed Dollhouse was in danger of being cancelled. At least they will air the final episodes. The show just never really gripped me. I was expecting something more. |

Stargate Universe premier beat Dollhouse in the infamous 18-49 viewership (2.3 million vs 2.1 million). It was the best Friday premiere since Battlestar Gallactica of 2005. 10% viewership difference is much larger than it sounds considering you're comparing network tv against cable tv. I'm betting Fox doesn't have anything worth filling in Dollhouse's spot. |

The show is pretty uneven, unfortunately- but the stuff that's good is really awesome. I watched the 13th episode of season one on the DVD- the one that Fox never aired- and I'll admit that left me really intrigued in what they'll do in the future. If we ever get to see it. |

There is always the rest of the Serenity comic series and Whedon promised another year of it as he has lots of ideas and material for it. |

A series can always be judged by how hot the chicks are. I will have to investigate. |

If that's a factor, Summer Glau is going to be on the show towards the end of the month. |

I heard that if you make love to her, she devours you after the act. |

I would be happy until the moment she started to devour me. Then the afterglow would fade and I'd be very, VERY upset. |

Believe me, man, when that venom hits your system, everything's awesome. I'm working on synthesizing it and selling it on the black market. |
