If you are completly in love with dollhouse then you will what i am asking i want as many people as possible to email [e-mail] and write move DOLLHOUSE TO ANOTHER NIGHT what i am hopeing is fox will realise that putting dollhouse on a friday is killing it and they should move it to a monday or sonthing so please e-mail fox NOWWWWW

Ofcourse I will email them, infact I emailed them about this before.
As much as I hope for a change I dont see it happening.

Everything FOX shows on a Friday night is guarenteed low viewership, Friday is the death slot.
Putting Dollhouse on Friday nights FOX knows that they will get low ratings, but they still make their money back on DVD sales as was proved with season one.
FOX would prefer putting a brilliant show with great potential in the death slot and getting their money from DVD sales than putting a terrible show on the death slot and not getting their moneys worth at all. This is the main reason that FOX renewed Dollhouse.

But I will email them for sure.

I really don't see how moving it to another night would help any at this point. I'm fine with Friday night. Of course viewership is down, FOX has mentioned it multiple times, but with that comes lower expectations.

Dollhouse lost 50% of its key demo during the Season 1 run. Had it been on any other night, like Monday where it was originally planned, I think it would've gotten cancelled. I believe being on Friday helped the show get renewed for a second season. Moving it would kill it.

Right now, Friday isn't the thing hurting Dollhouse. It's FOX.

I see what you mean but the thing that really bugs me is the amount of people that havn't seen Dollhouse due to its Friday night scheduel.

The reason Dollhouse is doing so bad isn't because people don't like it, it's because people have yet to see it as they are always busy on Friday nights.

I see your point and now agree that moving it during its second season will have new viewers clueless to what is going on.

On the other hand I do think that FOX should show one episode on a Sunday where alot of people are watching TV, just so they can actually see the show. Then maybe they will see that its good and tune in on Friday nights.

And I agree that FOX is killing the show. I know that the show was given a lower budget but they could at least advertise a little.
Internet adverts would also go a long way for Dollhouse but I don't think FOX do internet advertising much.

This is what I think. Dollhouse, say, on the CW, would get more viewership on a better night simply because with the revenue it would bring to CW--compared to other shows on the network--CW would help the show with advertisements, something FOX refuses to do.

Or else has no need to. FOX carries House, Lie To Me, Bones, Fringe, Glee, Hell's Kitchen, and that all-important American Idol - all shows that draw huge crowds every week. It's quite self-defeating, but I think they'd prefer to flood the network with advertisements for those shows than for the Friday night "duds".
