Crap.

FOX has just moved The Dollhouse from it's Monday slot with 24, to Friday, the night that has killed every Fox genre show since The X-Files.

To make it worse, the premiere date is Friday, the 13th.

And to top it off, Terminator: TSCC is also being moved to friday.

I never understood the logic behind scheduling Sci-Fi series on Fridays. As one of those belonging to the demographics that the series is trying to target, I'm not at home on Friday nights to watch. I suspect a lot of others aren't at home as well.

It's because Fox has a new show they're madly in love with (Lie to Me) which bumped House to Monday and therefore Dollhouse to Friday.

Oh, and Fox hates Joss.

In other news, Fox has it out for Joss.

I think it is more that the entire industry thinks that sci-fi fans are teenage boys who can't attract a date and thus are home on Fridays, or else adult men who also cannot attract a date and still live with their parents. If that was the case then Fridays would be fine for genre shows, but it ain't.

Or that most people who watch scifi/genre have DVRs and so don't really give a crap what time or day a show is on. /Shrug






Also, Fox still hasn't figured out how to support Joss.
