Too bad The CW can’t pick it up.
Well, we all saw this coming. I’ll miss you Joss!
Exactly. Knew it was coming for weeks now, but am still a wee bit upset to finally hear the words “Dollhouse AXED!”
FOX SUCKS AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
Wish people watched this. Hard to stop CBS’ hold on Friday nights.
The networks have been pretty generous this season. Remember the last few years, most of the shows would have killed for 13 episodes.
Yes, even the excreble Hank got six episodes. You can’t compain about hair-trigger cancellations this year, and that is an improvement for all viewers.
;_;
I like the show but am not surprised it is being cancelled. Glad that we get to see the remaining episodes, hope it doesn’t end on a note where we don’t get closure.
I can’t imagine that they didn’t have a strong feeling that the 13th one would be the ending. I’m guessing we won’t be left high and dry.
Joss has said that they’ve been pretty realistic about their chances of cancelation and therefore will be providing closure.
Well, can’t say I’m surprised, but I’m glad we got the extra 13, plus Joss has a little time to wrap things up (about 2 eps I think). No campaigns this time, folks. Let’s just let it go with dignity.
People can campaign if they want.
F you Fox.
Its a horrible world when Tim Kring is allowed to keep his horrible show and Joss Whedon’s show gets cancelled
Ellipsian likes this.
If you can get people to stop watching Heroes it will go away too. I think I read it was finishing up soon anyway.
I totally agree with you there. Heroes averages – what – about 5 million an episode and it’s not stuck in the hell-hole that is Friday night.
ugh i know, even though i watch heroes, it’s like watching a trainwreck
Cause Joss Whedon shows are a trifle overrated?
TSCC was canceled so FOX could air 13 more episodes of Dollhouse just so they could cancel it a few months later anyway?
Bravo FOX. No one has their heads as far up their own asses like you guys do. What an accomplishment.
NBC?
thank u, JoJo, i was thinking the same thing & was wondering how many ppl would neglect 2 mention that
TSCC was a great show, but the cost/episode for that would probably have funded four or five episodes of Dollhouse.
Wish we could get more good tv but the extra 13 eps were found money. And there is that whole business side constantly getting in the way.
Where do people get this ridiculous idea they were sacrificing one show for the other? Terminator was more costly for Fox plus it had lower ratings. It wasn’t a choice. If they had both been successful they would have both stayed.
I agree with Elle. They did give the show a chance and stuck with it despite its saggy ratings. It’d be nice if The CW or SyFy picks it up though…
RIDICULOUS. Move it to a sucky night, like Tuesdays and give it a real chance!!!
Problem is, it would be going up against NCIS/NCIS LA, 2 of the highest rated shows around… but perhaps if they paired it with Fringe they both might get an appreciable ratings increase. The Thursday gauntlet isn’t helping Fringe’s live ratings at all…
This is the problem with FOX. FOX keeps trying to run a sci-fi on Friday night. Sorry FOX, but the days of the X-Files and a young and thriving Friday audience are over.
This sucks, but I’m consoling myself with the knowledge that now there’s nothing to distract Whedon from the Dr. Horrible sequel. Glass half-full?
Yes. I read a recent article where Joss kinda said the same thing. He said that DH2 was slow going because DH took so much time to write. He said working on DH2 would be the positive coming from a possible cancellation. Also, fans, was anyone expecting (not simply hoping for) more than 13? Also, as has been written here, the final 2 eps haven’t been shot, so we should get some pretty awesome Joss. Sad, yes, but saw this coming.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!! Worst birthday surprise ever!
Happy Birthday…even if it is bad news
Aw Sam, so sorry you got bad news today. Hope you’re birthday is still happy though.
