Coming here must distort things as well snoopcester Send a noteboard - 13/11/2009 01:32:06 PM
That said, it is true that Whedon has always had a much bigger name/acclaim footprint than actual viewers. The secret of keeping BUFFY and ANGEL going as long as they did was that they were relatively cheap to make.


Given the kind of people who come to this site (and wotmania before) are pretty much his target audience, it is going to give people here a lopsided view of his impact.

Shitty but unsurprising Brian - 11/11/2009 11:30:18 PM 643 Views
One really has to wonder... Legolas - 12/11/2009 12:08:00 AM 725 Views
Especially when they made promises to him and he thought he was more prepared for FOX. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:23:26 AM 322 Views
I am actually surprised that it got a second season... MightyYT - 12/11/2009 01:52:03 AM 697 Views
I think Fox did try harder this time. Werthead - 12/11/2009 02:03:48 AM 737 Views
I'd love it if he returned to Buffy and put Season 8 on the silver screen. *NM* Bookwyrm - 12/11/2009 04:46:13 AM 321 Views
Meh. I've only read the beginning of season eight, I'll admit... Legolas - 12/11/2009 11:44:50 AM 602 Views
Re: Good dialogue and weeping heroines can only get you so far. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:55:41 AM 335 Views
Seinfeld was on for YEARS, and it is quite literally a show about nothing. nossy - 12/11/2009 02:36:08 PM 665 Views
Re: Very few weeping heroines on that one. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 02:50:06 PM 286 Views

Have you seen the reunion on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM? Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:21:53 AM 644 Views
What's wrong with weeping heroines? Legolas - 12/11/2009 04:46:53 PM 612 Views
That's simple... Wibble - 12/11/2009 07:37:02 PM 741 Views
Then how do you explain the initial axing of Buffy? Legolas - 12/11/2009 10:01:22 PM 664 Views
Well tbh it's ratings sucked Wibble - 13/11/2009 12:12:38 AM 717 Views
Fox would probably have been happy with another FIREFLY, actually. Werthead - 13/11/2009 02:25:40 AM 701 Views

technically Dollhouse being on Fox is Eliza's fault Jim - 12/11/2009 09:01:55 PM 630 Views
Summer Glau didn't even get a chance to be on it before it died. Her tally rises. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 12:21:52 AM 692 Views
They're still airing the whole season, incidentally. *NM* Craig - 12/11/2009 12:59:53 AM 272 Views
She also was on The Unit. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:42:28 PM 626 Views
She was on my Unit once, too. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 03:48:24 PM 310 Views
And then you woke up. *NM* Jacob - 12/11/2009 07:40:25 PM 295 Views
Yeah, but it's a pretty crappy show. *NM* Rebekah - 12/11/2009 01:04:58 AM 321 Views
Maybe Whedon will learn to write a coherent narrative now. Ghavrel - 12/11/2009 01:44:08 AM 610 Views
To be fair, his Alpha got a more regular gig opportunity. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 02:26:03 AM 337 Views
Re: YES! *NM* Danae al'Thor - 12/11/2009 09:54:53 AM 374 Views
Not surprising at all. TaskmasterJack - 12/11/2009 02:38:16 AM 658 Views
I hate when they do that. Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:29:38 AM 611 Views
Wednesdays always used to be packed. Now it's Thursdays and Fridays. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 12/11/2009 09:19:31 PM 344 Views
Yeah, saw that. nossy - 12/11/2009 05:21:27 AM 625 Views
Definitely not. Jacob - 12/11/2009 03:44:02 PM 575 Views
Oh no!!! Sophy - 12/11/2009 06:22:16 AM 605 Views
This was pretty much expected Monkey - 12/11/2009 07:39:01 AM 656 Views
Beqi - 12/11/2009 09:05:35 PM 608 Views
I'd say it's probably well deserved. Chas - 12/11/2009 11:38:33 PM 642 Views
