		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://kjtoo.com/2008/10/30/in-the-news-fox-pre-cancels-whedons-dollhouse/comment-page-1/#comment-185315&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Stephanie&lt;/a&gt; — First, thank you for the comment. Second, I&#039;m glad you didn&#039;t suffer any manner of coronary irregularity as a direct result of reading my blog; that would certainly be a first, but not one of which I&#039;d be especially proud.

I haven&#039;t watched a single episode of &lt;em&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/em&gt;, so I don&#039;t know whether it&#039;s a good show or not; I hear differing opinions from various and sordid corners of these here Interwebs, but I&#039;ve always been a post-cancellation Whedon fan, not bothering with his shows until months or even years after they&#039;ve run their course. On the bright side, I never have to worry about whether they&#039;ll be cancelled once I start watching them; I know exactly when they&#039;re going to end. On the not-so-bright side, if &lt;em&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/em&gt; runs for ten years, it&#039;ll probably be eleven years before I start watching it.

There were some rumors floating around as recently as yesterday that the FOX had pulled the plug (and I was ready to add the inevitable DVD release to my Netflix queue), but it turns out they&#039;ve just decided not to air an episode featuring Felicia Day and Alan Tudyk. Where do these cancellation rumors get started? Honestly, people are so quick to jump to conclusions.

Speaking of conclusions, I should probably wrap this up so I can make sure my DVR catches the second half of the first (and probably only) season of &lt;em&gt;Kings&lt;/em&gt; on NBC. Seems the suits have moved the show to Saturday, which is apparently tantamount to having the Grim Reaper himself following you around all day. Thanks again for the comment!</description>

		<description>I about had a heart attack when I read this.  I was getting pretty worked up about it and then I read the comments.  I guess that I, just like the &quot;save dollhouse&quot; people, expect good show to get cancelled, so it wasn&#039;t much of a stretch to think this show would.  Hot on the heels of the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, this news was going to push me into writing various networks with complaints!</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-133086&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Grailwolf&lt;/a&gt; — Well, if FOX didn&#039;t have that long and storied history of canceling genre shows (when did &quot;genre&quot; become the default term for stuff with a sci-fi/spec-fic element?) this bit of faux news wouldn&#039;t be at all amusing.

Of course, there are probably those who would argue that this bit of faux news &lt;em&gt;isn&#039;t&lt;/em&gt; at all amusing, but thus far the response from good-humored Whedon fans (and I consider myself to be one of them) has been very positive.</description>

		<description>Yeah, the fact that a &quot;Save Dollhouse&quot; campaign already exists *is* pretty darn funny. But after the heartbreak of Firefly (and Drive, New Amsterdam, Arrested Development, Reunion, The Inside, Point Pleasant, Tru Calling, Wonderfalls, Futurama, John Doe, Dark Angel, Greg The Bunny, Freakylinks, Murder In Small Town X, Harsh Realm, Space Above and Beyond, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Brimstone, Millennium, and Werewolf) it&#039;s also sort of understandable. Fox has, literally, been canceling genre shows before their time since its very first season on the air. Small wonder, then, if fans start to take cancellation as a foregone conclusion. :)</description>

I make it a point to avoid being bitten by anyone, as I don&#039;t expect I taste very good.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-132777&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@QuoterGal&lt;/a&gt; — Hi there! Thanks for the comment. I&#039;m glad to hear you&#039;re not rabid, and I should point out that I do count &lt;em&gt;myself&lt;/em&gt; a Whedon fan. I appreciate what he did with &lt;em&gt;Firefly&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Serenity&lt;/em&gt; (and more recently the fantastically funny &lt;em&gt;Dr. Horrible&#039;s Sing Along Blog&lt;/em&gt;). So, despite my poking fun at Joss, I&#039;m looking forward to &lt;em&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/em&gt; and wish the series nothing but success.

As for the &quot;Save &lt;em&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/em&gt;&quot; campaign, the mere fact that such a thing exists (regardless of size) before the first episode has even aired is just funny in and of itself.</description>
