Dollhouse to go on month-long hiatus

Dollhouse is leaving our screens. Yes, only for a month, but it’s probably just a taste of a much longer absence. Like, forever.

Fox have announced that following tomorrow nights episode, the apparently Sierra-centric 2×04, no more new episodes of Dollhouse will air during November sweeps, with repeats of House expected to take its place.

Instead, Dollhouse [...]

Joss Whedon to guest-direct Glee

I have to admit, I’m ambivalent about this one (given my somewhat troubled relationship with Glee) but word has spread that Joss Whedon will be guest-directing an episode. I’ll let Mr. Whedon explain…

Hey kids and parents of kids and super-old, like ancestor-old-but-not-dead-yet-type people, just poking my oversized head in to say [...]

Dollhouse guaranteed 13 episode run – but beyond that…?

Dollhouse viewers can rest slightly easier today with the assurance that all of the 13 episodes currently ordered for Season 2 will indeed be aired. For the last few weeks rumours have been floating around that, due to the rather less than impressive ratings the first few episodes of the second season received, Fox may [...]

Monday poll; Should more Whedonverse actors appear in Dollhouse?

Dollhouse is crammed full of Joss’ former actors; Eliza Dushku, Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Felicia Day, Mark Sheppard and Alan Tudyk all appeared in either Buffy, Angel or Firefly.

With three strong TV casts behind him should Joss Whedon once again draft in some old friends to appear in Dollhouse or does the Whedon stable of [...]

Dollhouse 2×01 – “Vows” Review

Fresh from their “hilariously unexpected non-cancellation”, as Joss Whedon describes it, Dollhouse returned with a bang on Friday and pretty much fulfilled all the changes I wanted to see in the show. More use of the ensemble cast? Certainly, and damn fine use it was too, with some scenes between Saunders and Topher that were [...]

Joss Whedon talks Dollhouse Season 2 and a Dr. Horrible sequel

Good news for us rabid Whedonites.

Joss Whedon speak to SciFi Wire earlier this week fresh from winning the Emmy for Dr. Horrible and confirmed that the writers are already working on a sequel to the internet-based comedy-musical, though Whedon was seemingly slightly evasive as to whether the sequel would be online or in cinemas.

The best [...]

Ray Wise joins Dollhouse

News that is 17 different kinds of cool this morning, folks. Ray Wise has been cast in the possibly recurring role of Howard, “an intelligent higher-up in the Dollhouse who has huge presence and humor” for Dollhouse’s second season.

Most recently Wise played the Devil in the CW’s Reaper, a show which I have to admit to [...]

New Dollhouse Season 2 promo

A promo for the second season of Dollhouse aired yesterday and some helpful person recorded it for YouTube. The quality isn’t great, but it’s a nice little taste of what’s to come.

Seems like Ballard could be blackmailing Adelle, from the sounds of things. Interesting.

Dollhouse is back on September 25th – remember, if you love [...]

Monday Poll; who’s the funniest character in a drama?

EDIT: And the winner is… Dr. Gregory House, with 33% of the vote!

The comic relief character is one of those old staples of TV drama; a figure the camera can cut to for a quick quip or a comedy pratfall to brighten up a dark moment. Sometimes these characters can represent the audience and say [...]
