Dollhouse (TV show) Canned by Fox.

Postby It's My Delorean » 11 Nov 2009, 17:24

This topic could also be called, "Another one bites the dust"

So, I don't know how many of you've been following Dollhouse this year, what with it's Friday night Deathslop and pre-emption on Fox, but, now, four episodes in to season 2, Fox has cancelled the show.

They will still be showing the rest of the season in December though.

Here is the full artical;

I saw it when Felicia Day mentioned it on Twitter. Why does Joss keep going back to Fox?

I'm not entirely surprised. It had an interesting premise, but was let down by some pretty weak acting. I was surprised it got a second series.

I think Whedon could do well making the jump full time to comics; his run on Astonishing Xmen was AMAZING.

Well, at least they know enough in advance to maybe wrap it up in some way, instead of it just, you know, stopping.

It does remind me of something Tycho posted in a Penny Arcade blog back when Dollhouse was just starting. To paraphrase, if you don't like what Fox does to your shows, stop working with Fox. Maybe it's not as simple as that, but if I were Joss Whedon, I would be shopping any future shows to other networks.

Not surprised at all. I NEVER watched it on TV when it aired. I go out on Friday nights. xD

Yeah I only watch it online

However, the last episode that aired was great. I'll be sad to see it go because it had an interesting story and I think it relied on Eliza Dushku too much.

I had a feeling Dollhouse wouldn't last another season. I like the show, but the format and progression is kind of random. Sometimes it's procedural and then sometimes it entirely serial.

Finally. Should have been canned before the first season ended. It's a terrible show.

I really like it, and I'm sad that it's being canceled. At least it'll get a proper ending.

Joss should follow NFill and go to ABC.

Not surprised in the least. TV shows that stay on the air for more then two seasons have your interest by the tenth episode and you're hooked. I couldn't get to episode ten because it was that terrible. I bet the only reason it got a second season is because it's whedon and the whole firefly thing.

Poor Joss. Maybe one day he'll be able to repeat the success of Buffy. But I kinda doubt it.

Damn. And just after I'd finally bought/watched through Season 1. Hopefully he'll have enough time to finish the thing properly.

I liked the show. Though I haven't seen the 13th episode, or any of season two yet. So maybe something happened that justified this.

However, I do remember a petition from a while back...
http://www.petitiononline.com/DOLLHAUS/petition.html

A petition to save it from cancellation before the show even started.

Ah, predictability.

i stopped watching after about 8 or 9 episodes in season 1, since I'm not as much into Eliza Dushku as Whedon and there was something missing in the show to get me hooked.

Aw, that's a shame.. It aired here in Australia on FOX8 on Tuesday nights. I personally liked the show, namely because I know someone from it (Dichen Lachman). Joss really does make some kickass mystery shows (Buffy, for example) with great references in them, it's a shame FOX are a bunch of twats.

Eh, Season 2 hadn't started airing here yet. Just Season 1 and the Epilogue.

Not surprised. I hadn't seen any of it this season, but I'd heard dismal reviews and reports of poor ratings. So, it was only a matter of time. Fox would rather kill a show than let it run its course.

Oh well, I enjoyed the first season, at least.

Yeah, but in this case it wasn't a good show they took off of the air.

What are you, on a first name basis with people you've never met, Genghis? And chances are he knows her from school. Bet ya money.

Also, yeah, I was never interested in Dollhouse. Cause, um... No. Firefly was cool, Buffy was... alright. Other things were okay. Mostly Firefly, though. Everything else is kinda meh.

You owe Genghis money.

Nope, didn't know her through school, but she's born and raised in Australia and usually we all tend to know everyone easily. All that stuff.

What? Bullshit. You're saying that all Australians tend to know eachother?

Kylie Minogue was born and raised in Australia, you're saying you know her too?
