"Dollhouse" Tv Series listed in the remakes of the future

#2 — Dollhouse

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse was only cancelled recently, but it already deserves a remake. It wasn't a bad piece of television by any stretch of the imagination — it was just…slow.

It started off as an interesting enough concept, but the ratings began to flounder when it didn't develop much. Sure, Echo was getting back her memories, but what did it matter ? It took a few episodes for the series to even get heated up, and once it did, it still didn't go anywhere. There was no real overarching plot (well, there was in the unaired episode "Epitaph One," but it went, well, unaired).

I like Joss Whedon, but the series could have used a little help. Maybe a remake from a fresh perspective would give Dollhouse a better light.

"Dollhouse" Tv Series - Season 2 - Sierra & Victor Spoilers

Webmaster — 2009-11-18T14:03:07Z

Shel in Colorado : I love Victor and Sierra ! Are we going to get to see any more of them as a couple before Dollhouse goes off the air ?

There will most definitely be more Victor and Sierra sweetness on Dollhouse before the show goes off the air for good. An insider whispers, "We learn just how deeply in love Victor and Sierra are across several more episodes—especially when they are separated..." Ack ! Don't love the news about a separation, but they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Who else is terribly torn by this news ?!

"Dollhouse" Tv Series - The Networks Take Out the Trash

Webmaster — 2009-11-15T17:56:54Z

Broadcasters dump underperforming shows and start to shape midseason lineups

With the often-telling month of November halfway gone, network executives are getting clearer pictures of which players in their lineups are ready for primetime, and which are headed to the bench for good.

The CW's The Beautiful Life got the booby prize for the first new show of the broadcast season to get the ax, but the nets have now begun to weed out the underperformers. ABC has canceled Hank and Eastwick. NBC has pulled Trauma and Southland, which was subsequently picked up by TNT.

And last week, Fox chucked Joss Whedon's Dollhouse on the scrap heap. Though the network has promised to air all 13 of the show's commissioned episodes, loyal Dollhouse fans aren't likely to go gently into that good night. “I'll still get hate mail and death threats,” says Preston Beckman, executive VP of strategic program planning at Fox.

As network executives look to midseason, several more shows are awaiting decisions on their fate, including NBC's long-running Law & Order ; CBS' Cold Case, Numbers and Three Rivers ; Fox's 'Til Death and Brothers ; ABC's Ugly Betty and The Forgotten ; and The CW's Melrose Place.

Midseason replacements awaiting the call include ABC's Romantically Challenged and Happy Town ; NBC's 100 Questions and Parenthood ; CBS' Miami Trauma, Flashpoint, Rules of Engagement and Undercover Boss ; and The CW's Life Unexpected and Fly Girls.

At Fox, Friday is up in the air after the cancellation of Dollhouse and the dismal prospects of Brothers and 'Til Death. The network is mulling the fate of Lie to Me and has Human Target and Our Little Genius in waiting.

NBC is still being buffeted by its Jay Leno decision, with advertisers concerned about the ratings hit the network has taken. ABC has some of its own issues, but can happily put three of its four Wednesday-night comedies in the success column (The Middle, Modern Family and Cougar Town). The CW has launched a hit in Vampire Diaries. And while CBS has multiple aging dramas, it has created a juggernaut on Tuesday nights with NCIS, NCIS : Los Angeles (repeats of which have already been sold to cable) and The Good Wife.

Kelly Kahl, executive VP of program planning and scheduling for CBS, points to the stability of the network's schedule in allowing a little more time for new shows to find their audience. CBS ordered five additional episodes of Accidentally on Purpose and the network has no plans to yank Three Rivers, according to Kahl.

“We were encouraged by the ratings [for Accidentally] over the last few weeks and wanted to give that show every chance,” he says. “If you have a fairly stable schedule, you can give shows that haven't really proven themselves one way or the other every chance to succeed.”

Fox has managed to climb out of its autumn doldrums with a solid fall schedule, including new hits Glee and The Cleveland Show, and a strong World Series featuring big-market teams from New York and Philadelphia.

“The real dog race is for second place,” says Brad Adgate, senior VP for research at Horizon Media. So far this season, Fox is leading with a 3.5 rating in the 18-49 demo, while ABC and CBS are each at a 2.8 and NBC has a 2.7 (7:45-11 p.m. through Nov. 8, 2009).

The ratings spread may narrow as Fox gets further from its World Series bump, but Beckman predicts a fourth-quarter win heading into the network's perennially dominant midseason.

“There have been other years where we've had good baseball [ratings] and we've been right there with the other guys, and then after baseball we drop back to third or fourth place,” he says. “I don't think that's going to happen this time.”

"Dollhouse" Tv Series - Plans for the last episodes

Webmaster — 2009-11-13T14:28:45Z

It's the day denizens of the Whedonverse have been expecting and dreading since at least last spring (or possibly even since the show was originally announced).

As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, FOX has formally decided not to extend "Dollhouse" beyond its 13-episode initial order, effectively canceling the second-year show.

FOX insiders tell HitFix that "Dollhouse," currently at work on its 11th episode, will its 13 episodes, which will give Joss Whedon and company the chance to retrofit a series finale, if they weren't already planning such a move.

Already low-rated in its first season, "Dollhouse" received a not-unsurprising renewal in May, in no small part due to the dedication of Whedon's fanbase and the sense that audiences were watching the show in non-traditional settings, including streaming on the Internet and downloaded off of Hulu. The renewal came after a half-dozen cancellation rumors, several stemming from the episode "Epitaph One," which was shot for 20th Century Fox, but never aired on the network.

Ratings for "Dollhouse" were no better, though, when the show returned to its difficult Friday time slot for a second season ("gifted" with a lead-in of "Brothers" and "'Til Death"), the show began its season with a string of series-low audiences, falling to an audience of under 2.1 million viewers and a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Given those numbers, it was no surprise when FOX yanked the show for November sweeps.

Although FOX pulled "Dollhouse" from November, the network previously announced plans to air double-doses of "Dollhouse" in December (perhaps due to its alliterative merits). As of now, that plan remains intact, with the finale tentatively scheduled for Jan. 22.

That current plan for the remaining "Dollhouse" episodes :

Dec. 4 - 8:00PM-10:00PM (Episodes 5 & 6)
Dec. 11 - 8:00PM-10:00PM (Episodes 7 & 8)
Dec. 18 - 8:00PM-10:00PM (Episodes 9 & 10)

Jan. 8 - 9:00PM-10:00PM (Episode 11)
Jan. 15 - 9:00PM-10:00PM (Episode 12)
Jan. 22 - 9:00PM-10:00PM (Episode 13 / Series Finale)

"Dollhouse" Tv Series has been cancelled - There will be no Season 3

Fox cancels 'Dollhouse'

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, and Whedon is expected to give the show a proper ending.

"Yes. Canceled. Sad but true," tweeted Maurissa Tancharoen, a writer on "Dollhouse" who is married to Whedon's brother Jed Whedon, also a writer on the show.

After some dismal performance this fall, despite the ratings bumps "Dollhouse" got from DVR viewing, Fox benched the show for the November sweep after four episodes.

For now, Fox is expected to air the remaining episodes starting Dec. 4 as planned.

"Dollhouse" stars Eliza Dushku as a DNA-altered woman who gets implanted false memories for various missions and tasks.

Fox already has picked up breakout freshman dramedy "Glee" for a full season. Freshman comedy "Brothers" is still awaiting its fate, but its chances don't look good.

Fox already has picked up breakout freshman dramedy "Glee" for a full season. Freshman comedy "Brothers" is still awaiting its fate but its chances don't look good, while sophomore drama "Lie to Me" is waiting for an episodic order after receiving an order for three additional scripts last month.

From Whedonesque.com :

Hmm. Apparently my news is not news.

I don't have a lot to say. I'm extremely proud of the people I've worked with : my star, my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you'll agree in the coming months. I'm grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.

I'm off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking. Possibly that relaxation thing I've read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you'll know what my next project is. But for now there's a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear.

Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again. -j.
