Yeah, plus it just seems wrong. It's not like the show is called Doll House. It's one word - Dollhouse. Dollhouse, dollhouse, doll-frickin-house! But by separating "doll" and "house" with "frickin", you are in fact turning it into 2 separate words...

Isn't the whole argument a little bit redundant? I mean, abbreviating Buffy the Vampire Slayer to BtVS is sensible, even when said aloud because the former is quite a long set of syllables. But Dollhouse? It's hardly taxing on the fingers when typing or the tongue when speaking. Why not just call it Dollhouse?

Why not just call it Dollhouse? good question. i usually type Dollhouse, on my last post i was just observing how people do say Dr Horrible, Dollhouse and Dark Horse as DH.

Doctor Horrible, Dollhouse, Desperate Housewives and now Dark Horse.
All these abreviations are getting darned hectic...

The consonants D and H must be sleeping together. That's how this whole thing got started!

I was never quite sure what AtS stood for. But I'm not surprised it stands for Angel the series. I must have guessed somehow.
However, I have to admit I have no idea who or what Dr. Horrible is and why everybody keeps talking about it. Old show or something??

I assume it's a TV show, probably written or produced by Joss Whedon considering everybody seems to know what it is, but i've never heard about it outside of this board.

Click to be enlightened. I personally haven't seen it either... may be on my Netflix list.

I'm watching Dr. Horrible right now......... and so far I LOVED the first song :-) :-) Edit: Ok, i'm really mad now. Why hasn't anybody told me about Dr Horrible before? Seriously? Edit 2: You know what, I love musicals, they remind me of old Disney movies when characters still burst into songs. Edit 3: Done. Definitely worth the watch.

totally agree with Edits 2 and 3, Mat. I love musicals so much. Personal favorites are Sweeney Todd (not the movie) and Rent.

The ability Joss fans to come up with awesome little acronyms impresses me to no end.

And here I had myself convinced it stood for Angel the Sexy. Oh well.
