Dollhouse

Okay - how can we spin this announcement for the fans out there?

Let’s start with the bad news. There won’t be much to be thankful for this November. In order to stop the bleeding on Friday, FOX has opted to take the show off the air during the sweeps month. Repeats of House and Bones will take over for the Joss Whedon program - and comedies ‘Til Death and - starting November 6.

Friday Ratings: Weak Return for Dollhouse

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, Medium, Ratings

Attention Dollhouse producers - get Summer Glau on quick! Had I not known that Dollhouse premiered last Friday, I would have assumed by the program’s numbers that it was still in repeats. Unfortunately, the Joss Whedon-created series made its return with the lowest demos for any original that evening. (It’s lead-in - Brothers—didn’t fare much better.) To make matters worse, the FOX drama also pulled in smaller numbers than several repeats.

Eliza Dushku8pm

  • Ghost Whisperer (8.6 million, 2.2/8 in 18-49) was down 700,000 from last fall.
  • (1.3/5) kicked off its 20th season with 6.3 million.
  • A FlashForward* repeat (1.5/5) had 4.6 million blacking out.
  • (1.0/4) kept 2.8 million amused.
  • (1.0/4) debuted to 2.5 million.

First Look: Dollhouse Season Two Promos

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX

Dollhouse season two promos

Fox has released promotional photos for Joss Whedon’s latest brain-numbing action-drama show, Dollhouse, and let’s just say that he’s truly working with that small budget.

Aside from Echo’s psychedelic-colored, blatantly-literal dollhouse room, the individual cast members (photos after the jump) get kicked to the dumpy, $5 wannabe-Fisher-Price house. Season two of Dollhouse airs Friday, September 25.

On a side note, I’m still not yet prepared for Amy Acker’s impending absence. Will I really have to watch ABC’s Happy Town to get my Amy fix?
