technically Dollhouse being on Fox is Eliza's fault Jim Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 09:01:55 PM
how a man with such dedicated and almost fanatical followers, many of whom will watch anything he makes just because he made it (and I count myself in that group, yes ), keeps getting the chop, and somehow still has to go back to Fox as apparently nobody else is willing to take him and let him do his thing long-term.


Eliza Dushku had a deal with Fox to produce a show and she was out to lunch with JW and he came up with the idea for her to do Dollhouse.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Shitty but unsurprising - 11/11/2009 11:30:18 PM 581 Views
One really has to wonder... - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 666 Views
Especially when they made promises to him and he thought he was more prepared for FOX. *NM* - 12/11/2009 12:23:26 AM 295 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 637 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 676 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 305 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 602 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 258 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 580 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 553 Views
That's simple... - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 683 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 599 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 657 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 644 Views
Coming here must distort things as well - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM 537 Views

Summer Glau didn't even get a chance to be on it before it died. Her tally rises. - 12/11/2009 12:21:52 AM 625 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 248 Views
She also was on The Unit. - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 566 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 285 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 269 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 290 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 551 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 307 Views
Re: YES! *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:54:53 AM 347 Views
Not surprising at all. - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 596 Views
I hate when they do that. - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 553 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 318 Views
Yeah, saw that. - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 562 Views
Definitely not. - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 518 Views
Oh no!!! - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 546 Views
This was pretty much expected - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 593 Views
- 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 550 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 584 Views
