Joss Whedons "Dollhouse"

Where'd it go wrong?

Fox didn't advertise it AT ALL.

I agree with you; I think Fox is completely to blame.

I think there's also another reason the show is falling, and that's because it has no lead in show that is worth a damn. At least last season when TSCC was on air most of the fan carried over to watch Dollhouse (that's at least what the ratings showed). Now the show is getting hit on two fronts- It has no lead in, and you have Stargate Universe airing at the same time. I can say that last week I forgot about Dollhouse because of SGU.

I just finished watching Season 1, including Epitah - one of my favourites series around!

quite liked this weeks episode and Michael Hogan :D it's like a BSG marathon each week :p

interesting that this was meant to be episode 2 of the Season, I read that on Twitter

Dollhouse rose to a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating and 2.25 million viewers. That?s up from last week?s .8 (which rose to .9 in the final numbers) by 25%. Now we wait to see what happens on 10/23 since next Friday, 10/16 is the first round of the ALCS (baseball conference championships) on FOX.

Season 2 premiere sucked in terms on explaining the people who had never watched the show what the hell was going on.

Thought last nights was the best of the series so far

Its like that level from Bioshock. :p

I just watchedseason 1 and really enjoyed it, although I wasn't keen on Epitah, is it relevant to the second series?

I'm debating weather to start watching or leave it and nail the lot in one go.

It's really too bad this is tanking :(. I actually like it better than the Sarah Connor Chronicles (blasphemy to say around here, I know!). Maybe Summer Glau will give it a boost ;)

Dollhouse Safe for First 13 Episodes At Least

"Dollhouse" fans breathe easier: Fox will air all 13 episodes.

On the heels of healthy DVR data for the "Dollhouse" premiere, network executives say they will run each produced hour of the show's current order despite the Friday drama's modest overall ratings.

"We're going to run all the episodes," said Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman. "We're not saying we're happy with those numbers, or accept them, but we don't have to overreact. During [November] sweeps we might have to jack up the numbers a little [with other programming], but we plan on completing the order for this show."

As for ordering additional episodes, or a third season, Fox says they will make that decision after the current run.

The news represents a relief to "Dollhouse" fans that the current season won't be cut short, yet also suggests a full-season order is unlikely. Waiting until all 13 episodes have aired before making a decision generally means allowing production on the show to shut down for the season.

Reached by phone, Joss Whedon (who has a terrible-sounding cold -- feel better!) said he's writing the 13th hour to give fans a degree of closure.

"We'll definitely have closure, but will leave some doors open," said Whedon, who's currently shooting the eighth episode. "When we got our first numbers, which were bad, the first thing [Fox president of entertainment] Kevin Reilly said was, 'You'll have all 13,' which was great. They're not going to pull the rug out from under us."

Beckman said DVR results have played a role in the show's fate, though wasn't surprised by today's results.

"It's one of the reasons that we brought it back; we knew it was DVR friendly," Beckman said. "We expected to see this and hopefully we'll see [the overnight ratings] increase from week to week ... with some shows, you have to look at the bigger picture."

Beckman also humorously characterized deciding the show's fate as a bit of no-win situation when it comes to dealing with Whedon's passionate fans.

"If you cancel it, you're an *******; if you renew it and then don't put it back on, you're an *******," he said. "I'm still paying for 'Terminator.' 'Dollhouse' has a small rabid fan base that in the world of social media seems bigger than it is. We gave them another season knowing full well we were going to burn in hell if we pulled it."

Great news! I loved the opening episode of the new season but the last two were a little weaker. Too much focus on Echo perhaps. I'm looking forward to seeing where the Whiskey story takes us.

[burnsflipper]

glad to hear it :) can't wait for more Summer :wub:

[Rappy Veteran]

yep more summer = awesomeness!

[Xero]

It's getting hot in here! :D Summer ftw

[neoxphuse]

After a lackluster premiere, the last two episodes have been terrific. A little bit of humour and more darkness has been great. More advertisement! I have seen nothing saying Dollhouse on Fridays.

[burnsflipper]

It's getting hot in here! :D Summer ftw

It's hot in here, must be Summer :p

[Rappy Veteran]

It's hot in here, must be Summer :p

[Rob2687]

Boo baseball. :(

[Rappy Veteran]

yeah :( :hmmm:

[Piggy]

Damnit. Stupid baseball.

[episode]

Damnit. Stupid baseball.

Yeah, because Dollhouse is really pulling in the viewers ...

The game last night might equal the same number of viewers as half (or more) of Dollhouse's entire season.
