Farewell to the 'Dollhouse' As Fox Ends Show
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Eliza Dushku in "Dollhouse."Update | 5:09 p.m. That shudder you felt
through your computer keyboard was the Internet responding all at once to
the news that "Dollhouse" has been canceled.
The Hollywood Reporter said that Fox was shutting down the series,
created by Joss Whedon (of "Buffy," "Angel" and "Firefly" fame) and starring
Eliza Dushku as an enigmatic special agent whose memories and identity can
be completely altered from mission to mission.
The series suffered low ratings following its debut in February, but
Fox unexpectedly picked up the series for its 2009-2010 season, and the show
seemed to be building an online fan base.
Fox had pulled the show for its November sweeps period, but the
network said it would broadcast the remaining episodes it had ordered.
In a message posted on the Web site whedonesque.com, Mr. Whedon
wrote that he was proud of the show and the people who worked on it, adding:
"I'm grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on
again."
So, I guess the DVDs will be out in a couple of months.
