Dollhouse cancelled, cause Dollhouse sucks.
Dollhouse is closing its doors at Fox. Which I totally understand, because Dollhouse sucked! I only watched one episode (same with “V” – I couldn’t even make it through the pilot episode!)
The network has canceled Joss Whedon’s cult fave, which in May beat the odds with a second-season pickup despite low ratings.
The sci-fi series, which is filming episode 11, is expected to finish its 13-episode order.
After some dismal performance in the fall, despite the ratings bumps Dollhouse got from DVR viewing, Fox benched the show for the November sweep after four episodes.
It is not clear if Fox will air the remaining episodes starting Dec. 4 as planned.
Dollhouse stars Eliza Dushku as a DNA-altered woman who gets implanted false memories for various missions and tasks.
Fox already has picked up breakout freshman dramedy “Glee” for a full season, while sophomore drama “Lie to Me” is waiting for an episodic order after receiving an order for three additional scripts last month. Freshman comedy “Brothers” is also still awaiting its fate, but its chances don’t look good.

Now Jocelyn, don’t be a hater about Joss! Maybe you just don’t like those kinda shows… It wasn’t his best show but it was entertaining, and I would know cause I watched all of the episodes!

It may be that I don’t like that kind of show… but in my expert opinion, it sucked.

I saw all of the episodes. It was OK, but never really held my attention. I noticed that most of the people that were upset about it getting axed were Whedon fans to begin with — of which I’ve never really been one (allow me to be one of the few to say that Firefly was terribly over-rated).

I really liked Dollhouse. Some episodes were actually pretty good. The problem was the crappy time slot. The target audience for Dollhouse is not sitting at home on a Friday night waiting to watch tv…unless you’re married with kids…like me…

The funniest moment of Glee is when Emma was cleaning a grape with a tissue and ate it. And she did the same thing with the next grape. Looked so cute, and crazy too! jaja.. yours?
