At first, we were hopeful about our relationship with Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. We’d look deeply into Eliza Dushku's eyes and think . . .
This could be good. We could be happy together. But now, we’re truly worried. Beginning in February, Fox will be plugging Dollhouse into it’s Friday night line up at 9pm, following the already flagging Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (we dig T:TSCC, but lets face it, the Connor gang’s viewership is not high). We are feeling a little upset about this new development. We are not alone; The Hollywood Reporter says:
The "Dollhouse" shift to Friday is certain to provoke a despondent cry from Whedon fans, especially after having watched "Firefly" wither away on the same night. Fox could have given the series a premiere behind "Idol" before shifting it to Fridays -- something the network has done a few times to boost sampling of new shows. And if that weren't unlucky enough, "Dollhouse" premieres on Friday the 13th?
Is there still hope despite the dreaded Friday time slot? Will we still tune in? Eliza, What do you think?
Dollhouse. February. Fridays. It’s a date.
