io9.com/5154694/joss-whedon-done-with-televisionDoesn't paint a nice picture about Dollhouse really, but I think none of us would have expected Fox to be any better for him than before. I'm all for this if he can get funding for what he wants tbh.

i doubt he'll be gone forever... someone's gonna eventually approach him about a new television series... but honestly, even if Dollhouse gets 12 viewers, FOX owes another season of Dollhouse.

You know, I wouldn't really mind it if Joss never went back to TV. I'd like to see him try writing a novel. Maybe even a biography. He's talented in many a medium, so I see no reason he should stay with TV, seeing as how it's F*(%ked him over so many times.

he's really only been F*cked over for Firefly (So far) Buffy had a good solid run, so did angel. and i honestly feel like Dollhouse is gonna get a second season, but to be honest, i don't really see it going past that... i really want it to!!!!! but i dont' think it will

Joss's time on TV is over in my opinion. He is cult, and is perfect internet material.

Agreed the cancellation of Angel and the abuse of Firefly are two extreme examples. |

well i'm not saying that the cancellation of Angel wan't total bullsh*t. but i'm saying it had a five year run... that's a pretty long run for something based on a vampire with a soul...

Angel did have a good run...but for a reason, it was good. Smart, funny writing with a compelling story. The fact that it was cancelled was an insult to Joss, the cast and the rest of the people involved, the show shoud not have been canceled. If I'm not mistaken the rating were higher thn they'd been in a while, a lot of season five even had higher ratings than Buffy season 7. NFA rated higher than Chosen. The network asked Joss to make changes and improvements. He co-operated with the network and did what they asked and they still screwed him over. As for Firelfy...pfft don't get me started on that. Airing the episodes out of order and on different days/weeks WTF!! No wonder it didn't do well. How stupid are they. At least the newwork SEEMS to be trying with Dollhouse.    |

Joss pretty much takes his audience with him wherever he goes. with Dollhouse on Fox he gets 4.7 million viewers and it's considered poor. On any cable channel, however, he'd get pretty much the same 4.7 million viewers. Numfar would be doing the Dance of Joy over such numbers at Sci-Fi or TNT or even HBO.

A Faith tv movie would do brilliant. Why not get talking to the SCI FI channel? I think it would do really well. Either that or Ripper, it would need to be a charatcer that wouldn't need to have a HUGE budget.   Couldn't agree more. In fact, Sci-Fi even tried to do their own Faith ripoff once in a TV movie called Darklight,if I remember correctly....I'm sure they'd love to have the original.... Best wishes, Scott |

Just do more Buffy/Angel Spin-offs... He tried with Ripper but Fox made sure it couldn't go anywhere  Sucks so much ass. Just Ripper would potentially lead to so many things. |

Hopefully,he'd have better luck if he tried to do a spinoff on American televison (I have a feeling the legal complexities of working with the BBC might have been the problem there...).
Best wishes,
Scott

I feel so bad for Joss. All of the great shows he makes, and then they last for one season. :/ I hope he'll do something as fun as Doctor Horrible if he does leave TV for Webisodes. |
