Joss Whedon Watch

By Big Tent Democrat

John Cole (yes, we agree on occasion) and Steve Benen are. like me, Joss Whedon-philes (read my "famous" diary attacking Freddie Prinze, Jr.) On Dollhouse, I am, like Benen, a complete pessimist (Fox will destroy it):

Fox made Whedon scrap the pilot (just as the network did with "Firefly," probably my favorite show of all time). Then, after several episodes had already been shot, Whedon stopped production because the scripts were deemed inadequate. And just to ruin any hopes we had about the show's future, Fox announced earlier this month that "Dollhouse" would air on Friday nights at 9 -- the same slot it gave "Firefly," and a notorious black hole on the schedule where the network dumps shows it doesn't intend to keep.

I'm an embarrassingly big fan of Whedon's work, so months before the first episode even airs, I'm already preparing myself to be disappointed -- not with the show, but with its likely demise.

Ditto. I am anticipatorily pi**ed about it. Let's make this an Open Thread.
