Just following up a mostly-complaining post I threw up a couple weeks back. Great news for the skimpy lot of us who faithfully stuck with Fox’s Dollhouse this year, and have been hoping that the show would miraculously score a second season.
Guess what the good news is? That’s right: Fox has just picked up Dollhouse for season number two! The exact opposite of what I was expecting, but no qualms here. The show really did slide into a nice groove toward the end of the season, it would’ve been a shame to not see where the folks behind it (namely Joss Whedon) can go from the finale’s quiet, meditative finals shots.
[from TheAVClub.com] “After months of anticipatory despair over its inevitable cancellation—the “save this show” campaigns began well before the show even aired—Joss Whedon’s ambitious cult sci-fi show Dollhouse has been renewed for a second season. Despite what could generously be called anemic ratings, FOX has ordered another 13 episodes, based on several contributing factors: High DVR and online streaming numbers, the potential for strong DVD sales from the Whedon mob, and major budgetary concessions from 20th TV and Whedon. Like a lot of critics and fans, the suits were reportedly pleased with the second half of the show’s first season, when it overcame a (heavily reported) rocky start and started to find its voice.”
Of course, the best part of this whole news brief lies underneath: We have at least 13 more hours of Eliza Dushku on basic programming in our future. I’d prefer that unlucky number in months, but beggars can’t do the choosing. All good.
dude me and eliza Dushku have the same bday. I LUV that girl.
Haha, you lucky bastard. She’s literally my all-time favorite celeb chick. Probably because she hardly ever gets big love, the underdog appeal.
