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 722 Views
One really has to wonder... - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 806 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 366 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 772 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 809 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 371 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 743 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 324 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 715 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 693 Views
That's simple... - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 823 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 730 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 784 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 782 Views
Coming here must distort things as well - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM 674 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 771 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 310 Views
She also was on The Unit. - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 702 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 354 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 337 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 364 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 685 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 379 Views
Re: YES! *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:54:53 AM 415 Views
Not surprising at all. - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 730 Views
I hate when they do that. - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 686 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 391 Views
Yeah, saw that. - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 700 Views
Definitely not. - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 659 Views
Oh no!!! - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 678 Views
This was pretty much expected - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 734 Views
- 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 673 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 723 Views
