Why Dollhouse failed. Lengthy interview with Joss Whedon at the Chicago Tribune's TV blog. May contain light spoilers for the last few episodes of the show. "The problems that the show encountered weren’t standalone versus mythology [episodes]," Whedon said. "Basically, the show didn’t really get off the ground because the network pretty much wanted to back away from the concept five minutes after they bought it. And then ultimately, the show itself is also kind of odd and difficult to market. I actually think they did a good job, but it’s just not a slam-dunk concept."

Dollhouse Demolished

"Dollhouse" is dead. Joss Whedon falls victim to FOX once more.

A bunch of brainless, pretty, zombies walking around hollywood?

A document has recently surfaced online, published by an Adelle Dewitt, asking all of the employees of the Los Angles branch of Rossum inc. to please, for the love of god, buckle down and bring in more clients. The only problem? Rossum has denied that Dewitts department even exists. Which is why Sen. Perrin is threatening to call down the thunder. This is all of course, a part of an ARG promoting the second season of Dollhouse(direct hulu link to Belle Chose- an amazing episode from the current season), the newest show from Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible creator Joss Whedon. The show has been performing poorly in the ratings for FOX. But fans have been buoyed by some recent good news about the show's DVR numbers, and the news that, no matter what, FOX will air all the ordered episodes in the second season. Whether or not the show gets a third season, fans should at least be happy that the series has produced what some feel to be one of the high water marks in Whedon's output, the unaired 13th episode of the first season, Epitaph One (megavideo link)

Last night Joss Whedon received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism at Harvard, taking the opportunity to talk about religion and education (somewhat rough video), as well as taking questions about Dollhouse, his probably-soon-to-be-cancelled not-all-to-be-shown show. I wonder how these guys are doing.

Who do you want her to be... next year? Fans of Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku vow to save the television series Dollhouse from cancellation by Fox Television - eight months before it is scheduled to broadcast. Is this just guerilla fan-marketing, or are they serious? Or both? (previously on MetaFilter)

Crackdollhouse? Dollcrackhouse?

Geeks rejoice: a new Joss Whedon television series!

Joss Whedon announces new Fox television series, with Eliza Dushku! "Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy." "She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments." Conceived of during a trip to the bathroom in the midst of a lunch Joss had with Eliza in which he was giving her career advice. (The writers' strike would delay the project.) Geeks and Whedonites everywhere, rejoice! (And Joss' Office episode airs tomorrow night.)

The inside of my dollhouse is finished at last!

Fantastically obsessive & detailed recreation of Bag End (Bilbo's home from The Hobbit) in dollhouse scale. Pictures from the start of the project here.
