Dear Joss:

Stop doing shows with FOX. You know they're just in it for a quickie. Like our former president so eloquently put it, "Fool me once, shame on- shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

Sincerely,
Me

Would someone please please ask Fox to ask Joss about an idea he has for a show that is a Space Western with humor, drama and above all a guaranteed $$$ following. It's a working title at the moment but he wants to call it "Firefly" or Maybe "Firefly: After Miranda" Gorram it! Fox wake UP and get Joss back on a show with some character and real grit - Firefly. Hell, if Fox wants aliens to compete with Star Trek give em Reavers in tights!!!

Dollhouse was has been picked up in the UK and Aussieland. Maybe not matter to the Fox Network, but the Fox Studio who produces the show has to be very happy.

Might just end up with some sort of cost-sharing arrangement in favor of another season.

Dollhouse got picked up in Aus!?!?

Where! When! What channel!? When's it starting?

I'll help boost the ratings for it here, even if Fox does cancel it.

Haven't heard date yet.

Channel 10 picked it up and then Fox 8 supposedly got it. So it is supposed to air on Fox 8 and then maybe Channel 10 later. Hope these are the correct numbers. You can check out their website, they have a dollhouse section.

This is probably more true than not, Fox did this arrangement with Warner Bros for Watchmen (their probably sorry they ever brought this to court now, based on the tepid box office receipts to date).

I don't understand why Fox and Universal wouldn't strike a similar deal regarding FF/Serenity.

COME ON GUYS! Growing fanbase, dedicated following, recognizable stars, sexy reavers. Come on, this shit writes itself.

There that should do it.

Hope...................why do you torture me so!

First the show just isn't that good, I want to like it but the more I watch it the more I dislike it. It had a poor premise, the crap scripts and a very average lead actress.

Unfortunately I agree with you 100%. I've watched every episode and tried to get onto it, but it just isn't working for me.

I've heard a lot of this, but I have to honestly say, I don't agree. I actually REALLY like dollhouse. It's definitely gotten better as it's gone along but I actually liked it and the premise from the beginning...It might not be the popular opinion - I dunno, I'm getting so many mixed signals on it lol - but it's my opinion

Like, I get it. There's a lot of Buffy nostalgia for this guy, but here's the thing: Dollhouse just isn't that good! That's it! The premise is interesting, the ever--expanding universe is interesting, the developing serial nature of the show is interesting, but the week--to--week episodes just aren't good!

The casting is off(especially with other dolls)and the dialogue seems forced(i.e. the trademark Wheadon humor inserted whenever, wherever, no matter how serious the tone of the discussion between characters).

Look, just compare Dollhouse on a show to show basis with LOST. With that show, everything is perfect, and there's a sense that it BELONGS in a regular weekday slot, it FEELS like a 'real' show.

Dollhouse--and to a lesser extent, Firefly--just didn't FEEL like that. There wasn't a sense that it belonged anywhere other than a Friday night. There's a juvenile aspect to Dollhouse that always prevents it from hitting the mark. Now, one can blame this on any number of things, but the truth is that Joss Wheadon is a hit or miss guy. In Firefly, the episode 'Objects in Space' was perfect. But the rest of them weren't. They fluctuated between seriousness and jocularity enough to make the show to inconsistent to stay on the air, and the same is true for Dollhouse.

This is one of those joke posts where you say the opposite of the truth, right?

The premise is interesting? The premise is awful for TV. The audience doesn't feel invested because the characters constantly change.

The other dolls are cast poorly? I like Victor and November over Echo. I'm not a huge Sierra fan but whatever.

Whedon humor inserted everywhere? What show have you been watching? There's hardly any Whedon humor in Dollhouse. He's even so much as said this isn't a comedy and there won't be too much humor in there. Which is exactly what shows up one the screen. There might be one or two joke lines per episode, but nothing even close to Buffy, Angel or Firefly.

Everything is perfect on Lost? Like the lack of any coherent plot? Like characters who can't stay consistent from one week to the next? Like dangling threads of story that are hanging EVERYWHERE? That show is the biggest mess on TV. All it has going for it is human curiosity. If they ever answered the questions on the show it would be dead and buried. Which is lucky for the writers that they still don't have answers.

Anyway I will be present and accounted for watching Dollhouse tonight. I thoroughly expect to fail Joss. I really don't see the numbers spiking tonight. If anything the lack of an episode last week will probably hurt the numbers this week.
