I absolutely LOVE Dollhouse. This is another awesome show that Eliza has starred in. I was upset when Tru Calling only lasted 1 season. I certainly hope it doesn’t happen again! I think we should all sign a petition or something stating that we want Dollhouse back next season and that it needs to be moved to Wednesday night or something like that.

I am pretty mad myself. I don’t normally watch stuff like this, but I love Dollhouse. Not happy to hear it won’t come back. Stupid Fox. Remember when Futurama got canceled and then brought back like 2 years later? The show did all these crazy insults about Fox for the first few of the new episodes. I pretty much agree with every negative thing they joked about. lol.

While I watch Dollhouse I get on the IMDB discussion board because it’s great to hear what everyone else says while I’m watching the show with them. Seriously this show is amazing and fox is so STUPID. The target audience isn’t home!
If Fox drops this show maybe SCIFI will pick it up?!?!

I can not believe this!!! They can’t keep ending Joss shows on me. I can’t take it. Can they move to like SCI-FI NETWORK or something? This show is so fantastic and I was so happy to see Eliza back on the tube. Fox blows.

Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku and co. still think hope is very much alive for the show after Joss was contacted by FOX following the Dr. Horrible panel. Check out all the information and articles that appeared after the Dollhouse panel the next day. It looks like Season 2 has a good chance!

Hmm. I guess that’s not really a surprise. But, to be honest, I’ve struggled to get into the show, and I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan. I’m pleased to hear that it has picked up, but after persisting with the first 4 episodes, I don’t really have the urge to keep watching. I’m not sure why; something just isn’t clicking. And that wasn’t the case with Firefly. So, I’m not sure we can blame it all on the scheduling. Although, it has to be said that ratings for serialized dramas are poor generally these days (see the numbers for Lost and Heroes, both of which I love), which possibly reflects the way the younger audience watches television these days, ie DVD and TIVO, while older audiences are happy to plonk themselves down in front of the tv to watch their “CSI: Wherever” live. So, I don’t really know what the answer is. Maybe Joss, Fuller, Kring etc should pitch their shows to cable networks from now on?

I’ve been saying the people at FOX are complete morons ever since they cancelled Firefly. Joss should just get his own network. He has more than enough fans to keep it alive.

In other news… Is it true that after 2 or 3 episodes airing, “Kings” has been canceled? Does anyone know the truth?

Odd thought, would people be willing to download the show directly from a Weddon website if it came with a few ads embedded in the file? If Weddon didn’t have to include Fox’s share of the ads, plus the affliates share maybe he could get by with smaller ad sales and we could still get Dollhouse.

Yeah, I’m grasping at straws

Crap! I like that show & am home every Friday night to watch! It’s the only thing I watch on Fox anymore.

Why don’t they at least keep it as a web series? Can’t tell you how disappointed I am at this news. Especially when some of the most idiotic “reality” shows keep coming back year after year. BLEH!! This just sucks!!!!!!!!

With very little effort Fox could have great ratings with this show or bring Firefly back.

Isn’t the only record of people watching done with the Nielson (sp) ratings box that they put in some homes? Don’t think they are giving those boxes to the right homes.

This sounds a bit like when tv ratings for Gossip Girl were way down according to traditional viewership calculations, while it had a huge following online and popularity that could not be accounted for by the usual system.

I’m never home on a friday and have to download the show, so there is no record of my friends and I watching it.
Dollhouse should have a second season at the very least.

Damn FUX!! Dollhouse is totally must see tv for me! They can’t cancel it just as it’s getting amazing!!

“FOX is going to continue treating those shows like unwanted step children”
LOL
I like Dollhouse but I would not be sad if it gets cancelled because I didn’t get so interested in the story. I just hope the ending is not too much of a cliffhanger, just in case it gets cancelled.

Hey Dollhouse Fans … be sure to vote on Kristin at E’s “Save One Show” Campaign. I included a link as my website.

A few years back this campaign miracously resurrected One Tree Hill.

Dollhouse is getting better with each episode. (Funny how once Fox stopped interfering with Joss it got good). Click and Save!

@lauren but isn’t it the way it should be, tv shows shouldn’t be rushed, they should be allowed to grow and pick up momentum.
look at HBO and their policyin making critically acclaimed shows. anyone who’s watched OZ , The Wire, The sopranos, True Blood could tell you that, you need to give a show a chance to grow. Why can’t Joss do something with HBO?

Firefly was the BEST! I’m still mad that it got canceled, let alone Dollhouse… I do agree that the first half of the season was kinda lame though

Wasn’t there some thing where fox wouldn’t allow whedon to do the episodes they way he wanted to do them, until around the 4th episode when they finally gave up control and let him do it his way?

@Luz — I, too, loved Moonlight. It just sucks that shows that have promise cannot be allowed the chance to grow and find their audience.

By: Luz

Luz — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:03:31 +0000

This is annoying. A good shows comes on screen and I hate that they don’t give it a chance just because its on Fridays. They did the same thing with Moonlight. I already have enough shows on my DVR between Sun-Thurs, I would like for Dollhouse to stay on for good on Fridays!!

My first post got eated so the abridged version. Knowing Fox’s track record I prepared myself for Dollhouse to be canceled from the beginning; the current financial environment minimizes the chances of a big screen move, which is too bad. Also, the shoes Sierra wore in last week’s episode were sex.

I really think that Dollhouse’s failure is Fox’s fault. I love Joss, so I stuck around passed the first few episodes. But they were not good. But I also knew that Fox had a lot of control over the first 3-4 episodes, and then gave over creative control fo Joss. He really needs to sever ties with Fox or all of his shows will fail.
