It’s happening all over again.
Joss Whedon fans may remember a little show called “Firefly”. After the pilot of that show was finished, Fox Executives didn’t think it had enough punch…or didn’t understand it…or SOMETHING…and they ordered that a new pilot be produced.
It was.
“Firefly” then went on to be one of the most mishandled shows in the history of television, and quickly found itself on the chopping block.
Cut to 2008, and Joss Whedon is working on a show for Fox again. This one is called “Dollhouse” and after Fox executives saw the pilot they either didn’t think it had enough punch…didn’t understand it…(you get the idea)…
Bottom line is, Dollhouse is getting a new pilot. Dollhouse is going to be a mid-season replacement show…and base soley on the history of Fox and how they handle shows like this…it’s going to be a miracle if Dollhouse makes it past the first season.
One Response to: Dollhouse gets a new pilot - gee…that seems familiar…

I had the pleasure of hearing Joss speak at Wizard World in Chicago several years ago and he didn’t have much kind to say about network execs, and I can certainly see why!
