I'm very happy Dollhouse gets renewed. Honestly, there could be tears (no, honestly).

And you know why I feel so triumphant, really? Why, we get to see the 'sleepies' for another season, of course; but more importantly almost, because it seems Fox finally learnt something. Yes, the first 5 eps, certainly in hindsight, were a waste of time and space; but I think Fox realized two things in the process: A) It's their own meddling which caused these first eps to suck to begin with; and B) the show simply deserved a second chance after demonstrating it had a real potential to grow, and was already a good stretch on the road of redeeming said growth.

The only shows we have to wait on now is T:TSCC and CHUCK, word is CHUCK will be back.

Colour me amazed.

I don't think I've ever heard of Fox renewing a show that's been described as "struggling."

Now I'm really glad Haken gave us a Dollhouse section in the Community Forums! Looks like it'll be making itself at home!

And it might have gotten easier for you to catch up - looks like Amazon is taking pre-orders for the Dollhouse S1 DVDs, due out July 28th!

This is exactly why I'm GLAD they're releasing them so quickly to DVD - so that people who only saw a few eps can find out what they missed, and get ready for Season 2.

And for those who've seen my less-than-enthusiastic reactions to Dollhouse, rest assured that I *will* be watching if it indeed comes back. And I'll buy the DVDs as well. I didn't really care much for the show, but I'll support it in any way I can, in support of Joss, and because I have faith (no pun intended) that Joss and Eliza know where they're taking us with this ride. It's NOT my favorite show, but if all I'd ever seen of Buffy was Season One, I probably wouldn't have cared much for it, either. Joss tends to start kinda slow and build up through the second and third seasons, so Dollhouse could still turn out to be one hell of a ride.

I wasn't crazy about the show, but I'm glad it's renewed and look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

And ya know, if Joss's shows typically have to build on "okay" or even mediocre first seasons... just how good do you think Firefly would have gotten? I mean, we only have the one short season and a pretty spectacular movie to judge by, and it was still nothing short of breathtaking.

Castle is renewed. Fringe is renewed. Now Dollhouse apparently is renewed. Renew Chuck and Supernatural, and my TV schedule is plenty good. There are other shows I watch and enjoy, but those are among my favorites, and all have been on the chopping block recently, and have been saved.

But dammit, I really do wish Aaron Sorkin would reboot The West Wing, what with the political climate and the changes to the political landscape since the original series ended... Too much to hope for, I suppose.

If Supernatural doesn't get renewed, there will definitely be tears!

Too bad my own TV series was cancelled this year.

But unlike Joss, I'm gonna sue.

Zoe: Do you really think any of us are gonna get through this?

Jayne: I might!

So, given that the ^ is true, if, given that Firefly started "kinda slow", then what could it have become, eh?

Actually,

& so forth

Atlthough it may have long ago jumped the shark, Firefly would have, should have been the television show that made all other television meaningless. Other than that, I've not much of a vested interest.

Supernatural's renewal was announced a month-or-so ago. Season 5 will likely be the end (the writers had a 5-year-arc planned, so they're on schedule).

Still waiting for an official confirmation of Chuck (which we were supposed to hear a couple of weeks back).
