I am really disgusted with this article. “amid press reports that Fox isn’t happy with the drama’s creative direction”? That is irresponsible journalism.
There has been one “report” that said this. One. TV Week used “A person familiar with the thinking of some Fox executives” as a source (while still saying that all the official word was positive) and it has been repeated everywhere as if it’s gospel truth.
Guys, this story is all smoke.
And Selena, I think you’re way off base. I disagree with almost every single thing you say here, but the most indefensible is the “Whedon had one good idea” crack. Even if you lump Buffy, Angel, and Fray into one “idea” there is still Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, Sugar Shock, Toy Story, Speed, Rosanne, and dozens of other projects.

My question is, whether it is good or not, will FOX let it find it’s audience.
I have total faith in Wheodon. The only time he has ever let me down is when he left Buffy to work on Firefly. Season 6 and 7 sucked.
Hope the Dollhouse is up and running soon.

The Whedonites are a cult of sorts — never mind that the final seasons of BTVS and ATS were pretentious and creatively inadequate, or that Firefly took about seven episodes to find its footing while being incredibly expensive to produce. Fox must be “evil” if Joss Whedon doesn’t make money. The thing is, Whedon had one good idea and he ran it into the ground. These days he runs more on snark and self-adulation than genius. He has real talent but needs to separate himself from his sycophantic fanbase if he’s ever goin to tap into it again. Right now, he is trapped in a cycle of self-created martyrdom, and the Whedonites put him there.

Fox p!sses me off. Joss Whedon is one of the most talented, entertaining writer/director/producers out there–mainly because he is so out in left field. It would be great if Fox exes would just simmer down and let the man create his show. Whedon is clearly different, but he knows good story-telling and what people like. Back off, and let him work! Sheesh!

I am personally hoping for Dollhouse to tank so that Joss can focus on more things like Dr. Horrible. One more big-budget sci-fi mythology show is practically white noise in today’s television culture, but I believe Joss has the opportunity to revolutionize the industry and release the stranglehold that advertisers have on creative output.

I loved Buffy, but this show looks terrible. Hire better writers Fox. Hire based on ability not on how well you know them.

“Fringe” had big ratings bounce for episode two, so it looks like serialized dramas aren’t dead just yet, hmm? That said, this much smoke from “Dollhouse” early on (a new pilot AND a production halt b/c apparently neither the studio nor Whedon like the creative direction) is a bad, bad sign. Personally this concept doesn’t seem appealling to me. JMO.

The folks at Fox are *idiots*. The pilot episode for Fringe has been avaliable all over the Internet for at least three months (also what happened to True Blood). A huge part of their fan-base *already* saw the episode. Expect a bump with episode two. The two-hour Sunday slot vs True Blood was also very stupid. And hey, watching TV real time is going the way of the dodo – we just returned out cable box and will be waching everything we have time for via Internet; in my area, there was a stream of people taking their boxes back as well. With cable (and internet) so expensive, why pay twice?
