		<description>Frankly i think it is lazy of Whedon to not get the picture...

If you want Terminator and the big money franchises then go public. 

A billion shares at a dollar a share to get ordinary People investing in their Movie/TV Corporation to finance the next Firefly film: SERENITY 2 - BLUE SUN, or DOOM: MAELSTROM - A Scifi horror flick where Giant Spaceships with Gargantuan Demons shackled to their Prows make Earthfall during Barrak Obama&#039;s first term, or PREDATOR VS ALIEN: PRELUDE where a Catholic Priest discovers an Alien Egg in a Mayan Temple and ships it back to 1640 Spain where it is stolen again and winds up in a Huge Wooden - eight floor Monastary stalking and killing Priests. And the Knight who comes to the Rescue is more than he seems. Or TERMINATOR: ATLANTIS When the Terminators travel so far back they wind up in the Antarctic passing themselves off as Atlanteans.</description>

		<description>Dollhouse sucks and should die a rapid death so Whedon could concentrate his efforts to something better.  Like Firefly. 

 Little wonder Dollhouse is attracting less and less fans.  It&#039;s not good and that&#039;s Whedon&#039;s fault, not Fox&#039;s.</description>

		<description>to the guy above who said: quit harping on Eliza Dushku&#039;s acting inadequacies.  Dollhouse could NEVER succeed with an actress who can&#039;t become someone new every week.  Dushku doesn&#039;t have those chops.  The show is hopeless.

Spike is the single best character i&#039;ve ever seen on TV.  James Marsters is an amazingly talented actor.  I think it&#039;s utterly mystifying that Whedon appears to so underappreciate both Spike and Marsters.  

A Spike show would cause me and zillions of other fans to sign up for whatever, cable, internet to see it, and pay what you will, interminably.   Zillions of hard core Spike fans after seven years?  that should tell you something, Whedon.</description>

		<description>IS FOX INSANE????? DOLLHOUSE is THE BEST NEW SHOW ON TV.

FIREFLY was also brilliant, and this is just outrageous. They put Firefly on at an obscure time in my area and they didn&#039;t give it a chance. Everyone we bought the DVD&#039;s for loves that show.... BONES BORES ME TO TEARS. Bumped for Bones?  You&#039;re joking.

Why should we trust these Nielsen ratings when they can be so tailored demographically to whatever the networks really want, frankly.  I don&#039;t trust 5000 households, that could possibly have a majority of which related to those in the film IDIOCRACY, to speak for me.

Nielsen Ratings:

&quot;To find out who is watching TV and what they are watching, the company gets around 5,000 households to agree to be a part of the representative sample for the national ratings estimates. Nielsen&#039;s statistics show that 99 million households have TVs in the United States, so Nielsen&#039;s sample is not very large. The key, therefore, is to be sure the sample is representative. Then TVs, homes, programs, and people are measured in a variety of ways.&quot;

http://www.howstuffworks.com/question433.htm

That&#039;s a B.S. sampling to base whether or not to kill a show.  If that were the case, companies like PIXAR would never be in business creating films about geriatric old men and mice who can cook.  At least Disney respects that they are artists and brilliant.

Forgive my venting by I must:

I thought they (Fox) were IDIOTS when they pulled Firefly, and now to hear Dollhouse is getting pre-empted or possibly snuffed is really freaking upsetting. What is WRONG with whoever is calling the shots there? I enjoy House, but I don&#039;t anxiously await it like we do Dollhouse – it&#039;s actually keeping us home on a friday night those MORONS.

Everyone should really fraaaaaking protest this or they&#039;ll do the same as they did with Firefly. Frankly, I&#039;m shocked Fox has even had quality sci-fi like this on their network considering how over the top conservative they are.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! : SOME OTHER NETWORK BUY THE SHOW ASAP SO WE&#039;RE NOT STUCK WATCHING IT ON FOX &amp; BEING AT THEIR MERCY EVERY TIME THEY DON&#039;T HAVE THE BRAINS TO REALIZE THEY HAVE A GREAT SHOW ON THEIR HANDS!!!! 

JOSS WHEDON IS BRILLIANT you freaking IDIOTS (at FOX)!!! ALL of the other shows on tv, SUCK with these few exceptions: The Closer, House (though that gives you NO excuse to bump Dollhouse for it!!!), Lie to Me, Leverage. That&#039;s IT.

HEY TNT NETWORK - GO SIGN JOSS WHEDON WHILE YOU CAN!!!! His work is more creative &amp; probably better belongs on TNT....Fox can be the network of the ULTRA LAME REALITY SHOWS. 

NOW I SEE WHY THIS EPISODE WAS ABOUT SOMETHING BAD COMING, AND HOW EVERYONE (AT THE FOX NETWORK) NEEDS TO WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss Mal. Enough of Summer G. already, where&#039;s Mal?  And dang it all, Eliza is just fabulous, as pretty much every character is on DH.  Don&#039;t let them cancel it people, spead the word, and make your voices heard.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so tired of people talking about Eliza&#039;s acting or how somebody else should have been the lead. It is her show, her deal. If it wasn&#039;t for her the actors on the show wouldn&#039;t even had a job. nobody even knew who half of them were until Dollhouse. If people hate or dislike Eliza so much they can choose to grow up and not watch her on tv so they don&#039;t feel like they have to bash her.</description>

		<description>I would even subscribe to HBO or Showtime if Joss would make a series with Spike or even one with James as not a vampire.  Would prefer if it was on SyFy so would not have to pay extra.  But even at that I do buy the DVDs when they come out.  I just want to see James back in a series with Joss and would love it to be Spike.  I am watching Dollhouse but just can&#039;t get excited about any of the characters, Eliza is just not strong enough to pull off a different character each week.  To bad Amy Acker was not the lead.</description>

		<description>FOX is not to blame for Dollhouse&#039;s low ratings-they promoted the hell out of it.  I&#039;m a big Buffy/Angel/Firefly fan, and I hate Dollhouse.  I really tried, but it is NOT a well-written, well-acted, coherent show.  Fox should cancel it-nobody except a few die-hard Whedon-can-do-no-wrong fanatics are watching it.</description>

		<description>People, Joss will not leave FOX with Dollhouse. The ONLY reason Dollhouse was ever created on that network was because it was Eliza Dushku&#039;s thing and she wanted to work with Joss again. Eliza has a CONTRACT with Fox, which would mean Dollhouse won&#039;t go anywhere without Eliza and Fox wouldn&#039;t allow Dollhouse to leave and take her with it, so no on the leaving the network thing.

He already plans on using the NET to his advantage. And with this devastation of COURSE he will. He will ride out Dollhouse and then move on. Oh, and FOX never tried. They BARELY promoted it and, granted they gave it a shot to be on television, they don&#039;t actually care about it. They could have tried HARDER but, your right, its not vampires or Glee Club. 

He will survive, and his fans will follow him, like always. Its just so sad that he most likely will never be on TV again unless a miracle happens on another station, but us fans should be glad we have the WEB for this of this nature.

GO JOSS.</description>
