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 553 Views
One really has to wonder... - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 638 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 284 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 611 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 645 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 294 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 576 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 247 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 548 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 521 Views
That's simple... - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 653 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 572 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 630 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 614 Views
Coming here must distort things as well - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM 512 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 596 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 234 Views
She also was on The Unit. - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 536 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 278 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 257 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 282 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 528 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 296 Views

Not surprising at all. - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 574 Views
I hate when they do that. - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 520 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 309 Views
Yeah, saw that. - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 536 Views
Definitely not. - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 493 Views
Oh no!!! - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 513 Views
This was pretty much expected - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 558 Views
- 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 519 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 557 Views
