Sandra Oh has got the coolness. I wouldn't want to see her go away, even if she isn't eye candy. Also, someone give Margaret Cho a job.

Hmm, sounds like he's still playing up the lousy stereotypes. Maybe he should stay where he is.  |

What kind of response is that?! There are ugly people of other races. So there should be for Asians. We can't all be angry hot bitches or kung fu masters and shit.

This idea that there should be no ugly people on tv is creepy enough without bringing race into it.

Thank you. My only point really. Sorry for bringing race into it. Guess I'm in sort of a Malcolm X mode lately though, it's not even funny  |

Indeed. There should be no ugly people at all. |

OK you and I can. But not the Donger. I think? Did he kick ass in Gung Ho? I forget...

This sucks, I'll actually miss this show if it goes away now - they just added Alan Tudyk as a major/pivotal character.

Yeah, agreed. And that was the last episode of the series, apart from the one that will be on the DVD release  Seems like Whedon is back to his usual, non-FIrefly form... takes an entire series to start getting good. |

takes an entire series to start getting good. Weird, because Buffy and Firefly Angel never got good. When does Dollhouse get good? Yes, I've watched the whole season. Edit: I meant to type Angel. Which is shit. Firefly was held up by the cast, which made all the bad tolerable. Alan Tudyk is not helping Dollhouse, Unfortunately. I should've just watched Knight's Tale 13 times. Just sayin. |

It must be a taste thing. I enjoyed Firefly, but Buffy can go die in a 90210 designer fire. I'm enjoying Dollhouse, but lets not pretend its the second coming or anything.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I'm certainly not going to call it the second coming, but I did find the second half of the season was good enough that it was one of those shows I recorded and made a point of watching.
Schild, if you didn't like Whedon's stuff, fine. His shows have been far from perfect, but I found them entertaining. This show going away won't be the end of the world and I won't mourn it's passing like I did Firefly, but it is a show I would watch if it were renewed.

Well if one show has to be cannabalized so the other can live I would prefer TSCC coming back for seconds.

OP is assuming its somewhat of a design-goal of eve to make players happy.
this is however not the case.

Guess maybe Terminator was a better lead-in show than they thought? |

I'm curious what the Hulu numbers are like. It seems like both shows would do well with the tech savvy set.

I'm liking Dollhouse OK at this point, but fuck, there is no justice in the world if they keep it while dropping Terminator.

I think they nailed the reason in the fourth paragraph of that article. DVD sales will be strong on this, and stronger if there's more than one season out there.

I enjoyed most of the Dollhouse shows as well. I've just started watching season 1 of TSCC. They both seem like good shows. I don't understand why both can't survive? Its probably the same reason I can't find a new episode of Firefly anywhere.

I'm fairly sure Fox said we'll go with one low-rated sci-fi show and that the potential for dvd sales pushed Dollhouse over the top of TSCC. *sigh*

I'm fairly sure Fox can eat my ass. I'd probably be 1/5th as angry if the show that was renewed wasn't a Whedon joint. Fucking hack. |

It seems that a lot of the decisions on whether to renew or cancel came down more to costs than ratings. Dollhouse was just cheaper to make. Of the two I'd have rather have seen Terminator renewed, but I did watch this show too and thought it started to get better towards the end of the season. Not great or anything, but worth watching while I ate dinner. At least Chuck was renewed!

It’s the surprise pick-up of the season: Fox ordered a second season of “Dollhouse” on Friday, despite seriously low ratings.
Joss Whedon, the show’s creator, called the season order “nothing short of a gift.”

Joss Whedon is to sci fi what that crazy Twilight writer cunt is to horror.
