Well guess what? It's not a fukin' comedy! It's sci-fi folks. If you don't like sci-fi then why are even watching? Personally I think this is the best show that's aired since Buffy and Firefly. And the network didn't even give Firefly a fighting chance. It's a hella lot better than the other crap that's on tv now-a-days. But maybe that's the problem. Only crap survives. Though if that's the case then I fear for the life of our world. It seems like all the people who don’t like this show agree that it’s not funny enough. Well guess what? It’s not a fukin’ comedy!

The Actives are the most incompetent special agents ever created" so what your saying is you would rather see a show were there is NO conflict than one with it. for the love of god thats naive, we know that there are other branches of the doll house, and while it may seem a litle soap opera-ish, the branch that we viewers follows seems to have most of all of the trouble. <br /><br />p.s. im sorry for those of you cant or can, and just wont put out the effort, to use your brains to help follow the show Anonymous april 21 is corect in his assessment. just because most people sit on their buts to watch tv dosent mean they need to stare blankly at the tv and drool (not that everyone does)some moron up there said and i quote ” once again, Boyd had to catch the bad guy Friday night.

The storytelling and quirky characters (many of whom are embodied in dolls, of course) reminds me a lot of Firefly, with a caper-of-the-week laid overtop an over-arching, mysterious, full-of-dread, story. <br /><br />Because it's smart, and because it's complex, and because it's often subtle (and it hasn't got the right levels of sex and/or shoot-em-up) it will not appeal to the masses. But most of the other shows I've loved were the same, and they didn't last more than one or two seasons (Firefly, Dead Like Me.. and the jury's still out about Californication (okay, lots of sex there), Sanctuary). Dexter seems to defy the pattern, but then again, it's not on Fox.<br /><br />Ideally, Dollhouse will move over to SciFi, and Joss Whedon can be given the time and space (no pun) to develop the story and the characters.

No matter what you're opinions are, Buffy The Vampire Slayer was one of the most unique and intellectually comic shows of our generation. The movie wasn't great and Joss admits that, due to his crew who didn't understand. But if Buffy and Angel were as sucky and horrible show's as you all may think then why the hell was it on the air for 7 years? And why was it translated into five plus different languages and a worldwide hit? And why did three networks offer to pick up the show after the WB had to cut it due to a new series? That doesn't sound like a deadbeat show to me. You know what i've realized about Buffy, Angel and Dollhouse, you have to actually have some intelligence to understand the whitty comdey, and the stragely unique story lines. As far as dollhouse goes, it's a wonderful show. It's so creative, but from some of the feeble minded people posting dumb things on here, just because you think the entire show was created just to show that Eliza Dushku has a soft side then you're an idiot. The shows great, end of story. If fox doesn't like it that's because it's a show that has more too it than preppy girls crying because their boyfriends have had a spring fling for the past six months, and because most people don't have the mental capacity to surpass a third grader probably can't understand what they're saying because they're using big people words. <br />I swear.

It could be picked up by another network (SyFy?) but not likely with it's ratings. More likely is a series of direct-to-disk movies. Joss' series have always made a ton more on disk than they do on TV, and this one has an establish brand name and fan base. We could be witnessing the existance of a world without Fox! Yay!

Had not seen the show before and had heard about it on one of the late night talk shows. Had nothing to do so I figured I'd give a new show a try for once. <br /><br />My reaction: I was quite interested in the show and decided I had to catch up in order to figure out what the hell happened before etc. I can honestly say that I am impressed by the all the acting as it has not once annoyed me (maybe the Apartment Cop at times). And now theres a lot of speculation of not getting a season 02? Heroes is on their what (soon?) 4th season now? I just had to stop after the 2nd season its just getting awful. <br /><br />At this rate I'm really interested in watching upcoming seasons and seeing where this leads to. Great show great roles and god damn addicting dollhouse is. I mean cmon. The first new show I've began to watch in like a few years and its "likely to get cut?" Not cool.

Shows have been picked up by other networks before: I Dream of Jeanie, Family Matters, Get Smart, Taxi, Jag, Bionic Women etc… I personally never watched Bionic Women, but from what I understand it aired on ABC for two seasons (1976-1977) and was cancelled from ABC and then picked up by NBC for only 1 season from (1977-1978) See Wikipedia. I realize that it may have not been successful on NBC, but my point is at least give Dollhouse a CHANCE to succeed. Parents don’t throw their child out, because they haven’t hit their peak yet. They give them time to grow and succeed and if Dollhouse has to be adopted by a new network so be it! <br/><br/>It started off slow (IMO). Once you get into later episodes of the show it becomes filled with juicy plots and a deeper understanding of the characters. I believe there's so much more this show has to offer and we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. <br/><br/>I really hope some television network picks up Dollhouse because it's great, heck I think ABC should pick it up and teach Fox a lesson if they don't like a television show that: is entertaining, makes one question their own ethics, and sparks the imagination. We can think of it as ABC's What Would You Do in a SciFi way! <br/><br/>Also it's worth mentioning I really enjoy looking at the atmosphere and design (The Set) they created for the show. If You Give It A Chance It’s AWESOME!

You can see the writers are getting a better grasp of the plot, and the actors are getting a feel for who they are portraying. Most shows start off bad, and after the first season blow everyone out of the water. Fox has a show with so much potential. Instead of axeing it they should develop it more, and I agree change the show time to a better time slot!!! Why don't they bring in an actor with a bigger fan base. The guy from firefly is playing Castle now on ABC. That show also is slowly developing, but if it succeeds it is only because of him. Bring Echo some inspiration!!
