isnt friday normally the swan song for tv shows?
doesnt show good faith from fox?

Your right. Generally it's considered the throw-away day for TV shows, but consider this:
Fox has never really believed in these type of shows (X-Files started on Fridays as well) until they catch on. Then you see them scramble to get it on a more popular night.
OK, how do you explain Fringe?, you might ask. Good question. Fringe is produced by JJ Abrams who had great success with Alias and then Lost, and on a major network. While Joss had a great cult following with Buffy and then Firefly. Buffy was successful on an 'independent' channel. Oh, who am I kidding, your guess is as good as mine why Fox elected to put Dollhouse on Fridays. Perhaps they want to corner the market for Fridays (much like ABC did back in the day with TGIF lineup). Who knows is a major understatement.
One thing is for sure, Fox is not going to move it to another night where they have proven winners in place. Unless, of course, the impossible happens again and DH's numbers go through the roof. It's money they understand, ratings means cashy money, no matter how brilliant the show.

unfortunately I don´t think the success of Dollhouse will have too much effect on Whedon getting another shot at the verse.. However the resurgence of sci-fi in general the last couple of years combined with DH might. I´m always hopefull that some studio will give him at least a small budget to do another movie. Just look at District 9, you can do some awesome stuff on a low budget

true true,,
but with with district 9 they had a 5 star name peter jackson behind it, the amount of times i have heard people say you seen peter jacksons new film? when in fact it wasnt directed by him at all
he was only a producer.
i love joss work but out side the know how he isnt wildly known, so i would guess studios dont want to take that risk,
its all money thats all they care for, if steaming pile of shit on screen makes them money thats what we will have,

dont get me wrong i really did like that show, but too me that was the only out come i saw when this showed air,
what i find odd is that firefly played and fitted so well the one story per episode that fox seem to love
and yet they still got rid of it thats when i lost hope.
i wonder if some one wanted to buy the rights of firefly off fox wonder how much they sell a old tv show for?
i bet they even thank themselves for making it a "cult hit" by killing it off before it peaked?

Once again i direct your attention to past FOX frak up's. Dark Angel, Firefly, TSCC, plus keeping shows like the Simpsons on for so long.

suppose their track recorded is bad but if joss willing too work for them got to give them some kinda chance?
they did bring back futrama and faimly guy :p.
but still understand they seem to love to kill shows with BDH in them it seems.
any way back on topic before this comes another fox hate thread :).
doll house season 2 is it true i hear joss having to work with lower budget 1 of the reasons he got season 2.
also what were the ratings like for season 1 over there in USA?
