Variety has reported that Eliza Dushku will thankfully be back on television next year in “Dollhouse”. “Dollhouse” is about a group of people, mainly consisting of hot girls it seems, that get themselves programmed to be other people for secret agenty and other purposes usually involving Eliza in leather or lingerie. This may be a selective memory of mine as I am neuronically challenged this morning (martini’s and scrabble last night in an epic battle of three letter words).

Season 2 of Dollhouse Under Negotiations?
Don’t lose faith just yet, Dollhouse fans. According to the show’s star Eliza Dushku, negotiations between Joss Whedon and the Fox network are currently ongoing as we speak on the fate of the show’s second season.
Twitters the Dollhouse star:
DOLLHOUSE talk’s are goin’ on~ it’d be an extravaganza bonanza to return 4 rnd 2!
Dollhouse Season 1 DVD Cover Art and Specs
FOX is still keeping mum on whether it’s going to renew Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse for a second season or not, and at this point, well, it’s not looking so good, Whedon fans. But whether Dollhouse comes back or not, the first full season of the show will be arriving on DVD and Blu-ray on July 28 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and we have the cover and full specs for the disk set below.
Eliza Dushku in TV Guide
You know, I don’t know if FOX is going to do to Dollhouse what it did to Joss Whedon’s previous show (though from what I’ve read, the chances are 50-50), but one thing’s for sure: the death of Dollhouse isn’t going to do much to stem the tide of Eliza Dushku’s career. Let’s face it, having a weekly show on network TV, even one as lowly rated as Dollhouse, has allowed Dushku to show off all kinds of sex appeal, not to mention a ton of magazine appearances where she’s wearing, shall we say, just enough to show off her tattoos. This one’s from TV Guide, and yes, it makes you want to see Dollhouse if you haven’t been watching.
Joss Whedon Says There is Hope for Dollhouse
Joss Whedon wants you to know that there is a chance FOX won’t reach into his chest, pull out his heart, throw it to the ground, and stomp on it the way they did his ill-fated Firefly TV show. We’re talking about Dollhouse, of course, Whedon’s Eliza Dushku-starring action-adventure show which has Dushku playing an “active” who has her memory wiped and imprinted with a new personality every week in order to service rich men. Yeah, it’s basically every geek’s fantasy come true on a weekly basis, so what’s not to like about it? Apparently lots, because ratings for the show have been hard to come by.
Joss Whedon Says Second Season Of DollHouse Is Unlikely
Speaking to a group of reporters, Joss Whedon speculates on Dollhouse’s future and my hopes of seeing Eliza Dushku on a weekly basis.
Sarah Connor Chronicles Goes Out with a Whimper, Dollhouse Flat
It goes without saying that ratings for FOX’s sci-fi Friday night line-up haven’t exactly been gangbusters. Okay, so they’ve been downright atrocious. I had hoped that last week’s episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles would change that fortune somewhat, but that seems not to be the case. The Terminator TV show wrapped up its second season with a whimper, pulling in an about-average (for the show) 3.6 million viewers according to THR. Dollhouse, as well, pulled in 3.6 million viewers for the night.
Supergirl and Helo in Riverworld, Ryan Carnes is The Phantom for Sci Fi Channel
The Sci Fi Channel’s two newest offerings, Riverworld and The Phantom (based on the comic book and, as far as we can tell, completely different from the movie starring Billy Zane), have found their leads. For Riverworld, based on Philip Jose Farmer’s series of fantasy novels, former Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett and Smallville’s Laura Vandervoort will play the show’s leads, a war correspondent and his wife who both die and are resurrected on Riverworld, a mysterious world populated by everyone who has ever lived (and died) on Earth.
Dollhouse and Sarah Connor Chronicles Ratings Improve
Maybe people are finally starting to realize that FOX has a good thing going over on Fridays, and are starting to tune in? One can only hope. But anyways, here is one good news from the sci-fi TV arena, which sees a slight improvement for both Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in the two show’s fourth week on FOX’s doomed Friday night timeslot.
DVR Numbers for Dollhouse and TSCC Better than Expected
Could DVR actually save both Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? No idea, but according to THR’s Live Feed blog, the DVR numbers (something called “time shifted” viewing, whatever the hell that means) are actually better than expected, giving both shows better ratings than some of its competitors in the Friday night timeslot.
TSCC and Dollhouse Premiere Ratings
In a word, they suck. In another word, FOX has succeeded in what they tried to do — bury Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse and the second half of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Congratulations, FOX, you apparently had no faith in either show and slotted them both in your Friday Night Death Slot, and the outcome was predictable. Just how bad are the numbers? Atrocious.
Must Watch: FOX’s Sci-Fi Friday Debut with Dollhouse and TSCC
Here’s the deal: If you’re a fan of sci-fi, and you would like to see more sci-fi on TV, then you need to tune in tonight for FOX’s debut of their Sci-Fi Friday slate of Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. If you have even a passing interest in the genre, you MUST tune in. The two shows are already going up against it — nothing has survived on FOX’s Friday night timeslot since The X-Files. I mean, nothing. There is a reason they call it the “graveyard shift” over at FOX.
New Dollhouse Grindhouse Trailer and Promos
Do I wish that Fox had put Dollhouse on a better timeslot instead of Friday, aka the Graveyard Shift? Sure, I wish they had done that. How about Mondays after House or before 24? Or how about Tuesdays after American Idol? Basically, any day of the week is preferable to Fridays, when almost no one stays home to watch TV. Or at least, genre TV on the Fox network.
Dollhouse Pilot Episode Ghost Promo Images
Holy crap, Amy Acker’s face is all cut up! Well, in Dollhouse, anyway. Not in real life, of course. She’s gorgeous in real life. Still kinda hot with her face all cut up anyway, but maybe that’s just me. Anyways, Dollhouse premieres next month on February 13, 2009, paired up with Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as part of their sci-fi Friday line-up. Here are promo images from the pilot episode, titled, “Ghost”. Looks like Eliza Dushku’s Echo character will be impersonating some kind of businesswoman. A very hot businesswoman, that is.
More Eliza Dushku Dollhouse Promos
The facts are, the chances of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse surviving past its first year are slim to none. I just don’t see it happening. Fox seems to have chosen its sci-fi show for 2009, and it’s not Dollhouse. Maybe it was because Fringe came first and scored decent enough numbers for Fox to give it a plumb spot in 2009 behind its juggernaut show American Idol, while slotting Dollhouse in the “death” time slot of Friday nights along with the (probably) equally doomed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
