“A New Pilot? A New Hope? A Prequel? A Nyquil?”

Because he explains it better than any of us can:In his own Whedonesque.com blog post, Joss lays it all out about shooting a new Dollhouse pilot, what happens to the old pilot, and the ramifications for Comic-Con this weekend.

The Kansas City Star’s TV Barn gets Whedon on audio about the whole deal too.

Blogging the TCA Blogs #12 - More “Dollhouse”

Hopefully this quote from the master himself will help quell some of your fears:

TheTVaddict.com: So how different is it working with the new regime at FOX, in contrast to what happened with FIREFLY?Joss Whedon: It’s a completely different energy then the last time. FOX understands what it is we’re trying to do. I understand clearly what they want. And while there’s definitely a back and forth, there’s a collaboration. Not just people glaring at each-other.
I feel really good about how they plan to position it, and their feeling about it as a concept and as a show.

Blogging the TCA Blogs #2 - “Dollhouse”

After Ellen with an Eliza Dushku quote about Joss Whedon:

“Joss really gets women,” she said. “There’s a woman somewhere deep inside of him!”

TV Guide on Joss’s non-reluctance to work with Fox again:

(Fox Entertainment President Kevin) Reilly says he has seen “no skittishness” in Dollhouse creator Joss Whedon in the wake of his struggle with Fox on Firefly: “I thought, No way is that guy coming back.” But he has really enjoyed working with him. “That is a guy who has earned his reputation.”

OMG! Gawker Q&A with Joss Whedon!

The title of the Gawker post says it all.

Q. Some fans have already launched a campaign to save Dollhouse from fickle network programmers who cancel everything that doesn’t have enough fart jokes. Other fans see these organizers as casting a desperate light on Dollhouse since it hasn’t even aired yet. Do you have a stand?
A. I love the effort, but do think it tends to put us in the cheap seats.

Dollhouse, The Musical Part 2

Insiders have gotten to see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog early and the reports are flying in.

And a “Dollhouse” musical? “I rule out nothing,” Whedon joked.

For the outsiders, it premieres online in three parts next week starting July 15th. But after the third one debuts, you’ll only have 48 hours to check it out before it’s all pulled.

Dollhouse, The Musical?

From Joss Whedon to Matt Roush on tvguide.com:

“Well, Eliza (Dushku) has a lovely voice. But first I have to make a normal Dollhouse, which is hard enough.”

Objects in the Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are

We created this site to keep you apprised of series in development as well as changes to returning ones. In doing so, we like to check out what’s being said in the blogosphere about our shows.

As you’ve noticed, we will link to things. This doesn’t automatically mean that what we’re linking to is directly affiliated with Fox productions, or paid for by Fox, or owned and operated by Fox. We might be linking to it because it’s what you all are talking about. Users may jump to conclusions on boards and forums and in comment boxes that we’re behind EVERYTHING. (We get that it feels that way.) Sometimes these viral wild goose chases and secret websites are actually fan-creations and we aren’t involved at all.

But sometimes we might be.

Despite who the evil mastermind really is, hopefully you’re having fun and getting psyched for good television.

Anyhoo, on a technical sidenote: We’ve been working on the site’s comments problems. We’re waiting for American Idol revenue to kick in so that we can pay our interwebs bill to fix it. Kidding! We don’t make any money from Idol.

EW Joins the Campaign Trail

Please do not incur physical harm to network execs when considering “how far would you go to save a show?” There’s a lot of nice people here.

That Gorram Fox

We are a bit surprised that you are already starting a campaign to save a show before it’s even begun. But then again, we are idiots if we underestimate the Whedon fanbase. It’s not like you guys have any reason to think the worst of us.

So, c’mon! Join the surging Brown Coats on Facebook. Now that you can’t collapse mini-feeds, you can spread the love of Dollhouse even easier.

Sidenote: There are some show spoilers here.

The Buzzing of Millions of TV Watching Bees

“…Beads!?”

So. FOX Upfronts. By now you’ve probably heard that we’ve got a few tiny shows by some little known TV show creators. Some guy named Ahems and some dude named Whesdon? Wheredon? Whedon?

Aaah, you know who I’m talking about. J.J. “Entertainment Thunder” Abrams and Joss “Entertainment Lightning” Whedon. When the gates opened after our Upfronts on Thursday afternoon, the internet went cray-zay. Crazy to the point of breach of contract.

First, let’s not overlook the FOX line-ups for 2008 and 2009. We’re bringing you nine new shows, and several of them from the best minds in the industry (read: Seth MacFarlane’s The Cleveland Show, and Mitch Hurwitz’s Sit Down Shut Up). Take a look at our 2008/09 Upfronts page to see trailers for the new shows and see which of your favorite shows are coming back.

“Bees!”

Fringe and Dollhouse are going to be amazing. I’ve never seen so many fansites light up so quickly once the news and details of these two shows arrived. Video clips for both shows are out in the webiverse now, so go get yourself some Thunder and Lighting pie and tell us what you think.

And then add that our network captain, Peter Liguori, wants to give you Dollhouse and Fringe with FEWER commercials.

There’s so much to say, and so much more to come. I don’t want to burn you out just yet.

“…I don’t think G.O.B.’s on board…”

Fans Play Journalists

Our friends at Dollverse have been manning the phones (and emails) to investigate what the real premiere date of Dollhouse will be. Are they right or does the HR have it? Fall or mid-season?

One more week and we’ll all have confirmation, people!

Fox announces its pickups and new schedule on Thursday, May 15th at 4pm EST.

We’ll point you to the official Fox schedule and show previews once we’ve got the webpage ready.

Let the Speculation Begin

While we have heard various grumblings, the new Fox schedule is not set in stone yet. But here is what the HR is reporting about pickups:

Over at Fox, J.J. Abrams “Fringe” looks like a lock after an enthusiastic response from the network’s brass during the weekend. Fox already has given its blessing for staffing to begin on the Warner Bros. TV-produced sci-fi drama.

“Fringe,” which has the scope of Abrams’ “Lost,” is rumored for a fall launch as a key weapon in Fox’s effort to shake off its fourth-quarter ratings blues. It could be paired with “Prison Break” or “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.”

Fox’s other high-profile new entry, Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse,” which is still in production, is eyed for midseason. Meanwhile, the Bernie Mac starrer “Starting Under,” which also was delivered to the network during the weekend, looks good to join Fox’s multicamera comedies “Back to You” and ” ‘Til Death.”

Also set to be hot at Fox are comedies “Outnumbered” and “Spaced.”
