Dollhouse NOT ready for midseason/schedule change?

[hitnrun017]

Well Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was picked up for a full-season (thank god). Dollhouse is suppose to take it's timeslot midseason, but now maybe not. More badness for Dollhouse and once again we go insane....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TV by the Numbers:

"Hibberd offers up some possible reasons (for the TSCC pickup), including reported creative struggles with Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aint It Cool:

"Worse yet, is Fox considering moving Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse” to its "Firefly"-mauling Friday Death Slot so “Terminator” can retain its Monday berth??"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TV Squad:

"Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse isn't ready for midseason. Fox's plan of a Dollhouse/24 Monday night has been put on hold because the former isn't ready to go."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No confirmation yet, just rumors and speculation. I'm pretty sure we've gotten more BAD news about Dollhouse than good. This makes me mad.

We don't need good news. We have Joss. That's enough. ;D

[Tyler Austin "tiewashere"]

it'll all be okay. I have faith

[buffyverseforever]

I agree-the people who come up with these rumors like seeing bad things happen and hope they'll happen to other people-that's why they only come up with rumors of bad things happening.
I,too,have fith that things will all work out.
And,if you think about it,Dollhouse most definitely has Faith


Best wishes,

Scott

Here's another little update:

www.endofshow.com/2008/10/20/fox-saves-terminator-at-the-last-moment/

Asked to confirm if this means Dollhouse will lose the slot it was due to take from Terminator in January, a Fox spokeswoman told us, "We haven't announced our midseason schedule yet... but Dollhouse is currently in production and for a premiere in '09."

Notice the lack of confirmation for midseason?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I know this Dollhouse worrying is getting tiresome, and this rant that I'm unfortunately about to go on has nothing to do with the presumed quality of the show, but about the chance of it not airing midseason...

FOX has 10 timeslots, Monday through Friday, 8PM and 9PM, ten hours of programming. American Idol, for no reason other than money, take up three of these hours, leaving seven. Let's have a look at the shows that have a full season order:

-24
-Fringe
-Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
-Prison Break
-House
-Bones

Add those to American Idol and that's 9 of the 10 hours. But we can't forget all the terribly idiotic reality/game shows that could take up an hour. Dollhouse could easily still air midseason if FOX decides to give it the hour, but two of these shows will be getting the Friday Night "Death Slot".

This is probably just me freaking out over nothing.

Fox would be insane not to follow through with its original plan to have 24 and Dollhouse on the same night.

Here here!

FOX, please don't screw us over again! I know that we've been assured that everything is fine...but still, I worry. Monday nights would be a perfect time for this show, or maybe even TUESDAYS!

Like old times...

Ok, well I'm watching NFL on FOX right because I'm bored (and wanting to see the new Dollhouse trailer). Anyways, I saw a preview for FOX's new show, Lie to Me, "Coming This January". Now, that's 10 of the 10 hours, and still no Dollhouse confirmation. My head hurts. I hope that if the new Dollhouse trailer is shown that it will ALSO say "Coming This Jaunary".
