""Dollhouse" is closing its doors at Fox. 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 whether Fox will air the remaining episodes starting Dec. 4 as planned." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

That "House reruns are twice as popular as Dollhouse" story was hard to ignore, eh? - Daniel J. Pritchett

I repeat: :( - Steven Perez

Oh well. I enjoyed the show but it had its flaws. I never got comfortable with Dushku's acting or the grauitous shots of Actives. - Daniel J. Pritchett

haha. I knew that would be cancelled. First episode, it just seemed messed up. *Back to Lost....* - Alan (Giraffes)

:( son of a bitch...just yeah. mother fucking son of a bitch. (and people...the first five episodes sucked...if you left before it got better...your loss) - aden {Chickadee}

Lost *shudders* - Rasmus Lauridsen

I generally really like Joss and I tend to follow Mutant Enemy staffers around from show to show, but I really couldn't get into Dollhouse. There were a few good episodes towards the end, but the pacing was all off for me. I expected more. - joey

let's just hope that Joss takes the lumps, and then finishes the story online. Because seriously? If I can't see the lead up to Epitaph 1, I am going to be very unhappy. - aden {Chickadee}

Maybe he'll get to move to another network. - joey

I will miss the show. I have to say Fox gave it every chance, this time around. The renewal for season 2 was unexpected given how low the ratings were. - Stephen Mack

Oh well. Can't wait to see what Joss has in store with his next Fox show...since he never leaves that company. - Jonathan Hardesty

Oh Shoot - MoTO Bott from fftogo

Jon, he had a contract with them. It may be over now. I can't remember what I read about it. Yay for useless comments. - joey

I always figured Fox is the only network that will give Joss the time of day. Surely he's not going to them because he expects great things... - Daniel J. Pritchett

:( - Rachel Lea Fox

Dollhouse's biggest problem was season one. The good episodes in S1 and all of S2 were all character driven for characters I never really gave two craps about, and still don't. :( - Jonathan Hardesty

DJP, I think Joss actually *does* get interest from other networks. Although the fans can't forgive Fox for past transgressions, it seems Joss was willing to. When he talks about the people he made the deal with, he talks with respect. The problem is that in the industry one doesn't always get to continue working with the same players you made the deal with. I came to like Dollhouse even though it had a massively slow start and was mostly missing the humor I have come to expect from Joss. But if it frees him up to do something over which he has more creative control (like a Dr. Horrible sequel), I think it's a good thing in the end. - Spidra Webster

Yeah, whatever unholy contract Whedon has with Fox needs to be broken and right now. He can't keep working for a network that kneecaps him every time he comes up with an advanced concept that entails more than a little thought. - Steven Perez

Just read that it's not "cancelled" per say. Fox stressed that it wasn't. They're just capping the second season at 13 episodes. It's still going to air all of them too. It doesn't look good for the show though. - James Ferguson

Deserves it for killing Kitty Pryde in a truly awful story, plus he's crap! - Simon Curran

James: I read that, too. That is press agent speak for "cancelled". You don't cap episodes of a show you want to keep around, especially one with an arc spanning the season. - Steven Perez

*waits to see if Joss will comment on Whedonesque* - joey

I think Dusku was the one that has the contract. I think Joss is free to go with the show. - The Amber

Steven, sometimes I hate being optimistic. :( - James Ferguson

the show just isn't very good *shrug* - Richard Lawler

...deja view (sic)... never lived up to it's promise, imho. who knows why. - .LAG liked that

Bummer - Todd Hoff

Damn you, Fox. - The original Kevin

Regardless of whomever may be to blame for the show's flaws, I will always believe that DOLLHOUSE was doomed to failure before it ever got started. And that's a real shame, considering the level at which it asked us to think. - Steven Perez

sad to see another Whedon show die an early death. at least he knows when it's ending so he can give it a proper send-off. - Nathan Chase

A proper send-off? Only so much you can do in two episodes. :-/ - Tanath

Not a shock to me, it wasn't a great show from the few episodes I dragged myself through. - Kol Tregaskes

WHY???? I love them so much. ah well... :( - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
