Save Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" from cancelation!

Joss has had a rough time with shows flirting with cancellation. Firefly should still be going on.

First we have Firefly, then Wonderfalls, now Dollhouse. All of his shows have been cancelled, and all by Fox. I didn't even bother watching this latest show, because as soon as I saw Fox was airing it I knew it would be cancelled.

Edit for: How many shows does Mr. Whedon have to air on Fox to realize that they aren't going to give his shows the time they need to get rolling? Fifty?

I really like that show.

Tim Minear, who also worked on Angel, was involved in Wonderfalls, but that was not a Joss show.

I think the reason Dollhouse went to FOX initially was because of Eliza Dushku, who had a contract in place with them for a show. IMO, she is the weakest part of Dollhouse - the rest of the cast are incredible, but she and Joss hatched the idea, so it went to FOX, good or bad.

The season finale aired on Friday, and was a bit anti-climatic. Could definitely tell it was penned by Minear and not Whedon. I would certainly like to see the show next season - lot of things set up well for a continuing story, with Echo choosing to go back and Ballard choosing to go in the way he did. Who knows what will happen with it though. Network TV is a tough breeding ground and good shows often don't last.

Looks like our (my) chances are suddenly better

a few other sites are speaking more definitely about a return this fall.

Hope it all pans out well between now and Monday.

Well it's official. Dollhouse will be around for another season.

Side note:

I hear the DVD version will have the "actual" season 1 final episode. Interesting to see how this ties into the story.

Loved that show. I never saw them when they aired but watched them online.
