Okay if you have seen the premier, which according to Fox itself, only a measly 2.6 million viewers watched,then most are asking, WHAT THE FUCK?!!!

Yes i know you may hate me after this, but listen, especially you KWICKO, I . TOLD . YOU . SO . Yes it was a great idea for FOX, to pull TSCC, not only did they cancel a great show, but they got more viewers for their channel on friday premiers. Oh that 2.6 million was FANTASTIC, for DOLLHOUSE, meanwhile TSCC never got ratings that low for either prmier, or ep. Yes FOX made a good decision, we Whedon and Termi nator fans should applaud Fox for it's great strategic planning, and foresight.

Signing off, yours truly,
Jameron4eva.


If you don't know, that's sarcasim. SCREW FOX!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to watch the show on hulu but was unable to because of scheduling issues. The bits I did watch had me lost.

The Dollhouse premier was not the best episode of Dollhouse. I'll concede that. But keep in mind that the first episode back of Season 2 of Buffy was not stellar as well. It seems to be a crux a television as a whole. Second seasons of most TV shows try to put way too much into the openings of second seasons as an attempt to invite new viewers. This is not an issue for later seasons when the show has found an audience.

As far as the Terminator stuff, I've never watched it. But to be honest, regardless of the quality of the show (acting, story, etc.) the Terminator franchise seems to be a dying franchise. It's been dying since the 3rd installment.

I'm not trying to offend any TSCC fans with this. If i started to watch the show, i would probably like it and feel the similarly about it's cancellation.

But, Dollhouse is still on. It has massive potential, as demonstrated by later episodes in season 1 and the unaired Epitaph One. It just needs to hit it's season 2 stride. Again with a Buffy comparison, Season 2 did not hit it's stride until the whole Angel/Angelus problem, which ultimately fueled the second season and made it one of the best seasons of Buffy ever.

I guess what i'm trying to say is give Dollhouse a chance, let it hit it's stride.

Oh and to answer your question, flop or good?

I'd say mostly good.

Oh hell, Jamey - you'll get little to no argument from me on that one. I DVR'd it and watched it a few days later, and I wouldn't say it was either good OR a flop. It was... ihhh. What I said to my wife after it was over was, "We had to wait through all of Season One just to get HERE?"

The show just isn't likely to become one of my favorites. It's populated with characters I really just don't like, and I don't see myself growing to like them much over time. Buffy and Angel, and even moreso Firefly, were populated with good people in really bad situations, trying to do the best thing, or at least the LEAST-BAD thing. Dollhouse is basically a lot of bad people doing bad things - and not being very conflicted about it.

Doesn't make for a whole lot of tension, does it?

As for why Fox decides ANYTHING, that's well beyond me. If I knew how they did it, well, Firefly would likely be premiering its seventh or eigth season about now...

I have no idea WHY they pulled TSCC and kept Dollhouse, because I sure as hell expected it to go the other way, or even for them to kill off both shows. Maybe they've got more ownership in the studio behind Dollhouse; I have no idea.

I don't really blame them for pulling TSCC, because it was never really doing it for me. However, I *am* starting to blame them for NOT pulling Dollhouse. There, I said it. Loose your slings and arrows; I can take it.
