My DVR will be humming along on Fridays: Terminator, Dollhouse, and if NBC keeps it around: Lipstick Jungle.

I’m not sure I have faith in FOX. They’re a bunch of morons. They tease me with good shows, then drop them without notice. Here’s hoping.

well i choose to be optimistic since you thinking sounds hmm… sound. But still upset with them not just about the Friday scheduling but also about putting BONES on Thursdays what is up with that.

I would just be happy, if they did decide to cancel, if they would let the show writers know before they film the last episode so they could try to write some type of closure. Also, what else will Dollhouse have to compete against? And whoever said that economic slowdown bit is right. We all get together and make snacky foods and watch tv now, instead of going out. Viva la Joss Whedon shows!

Thank you! I wrote a similar post on my blog (just search for Dollhouse, it’ll come up). I completely agree, and the fact that FOX jumped in to say that this gives them more room for ratings than Monday night really made me feel better. I also think that Fridays are growing a big. Ghost Whisperer is hitting some bigger numbers and since The Ex List was cancelled, it’s clear people are looking for a 9:00 show on Friday nights. Could Dollhouse be the one?

I really hope you are right about this. Friday night is a good time slot for me, since there isn’t as much competition, but I know ratings wise it can often be a death slot. Of course we DVR everything and watch it later, with only top priority shows being watched the same night they air. I know that means we are part of the ratings problem, but I am tired of the way the system works. Why can’t we be the customers instead of the advertisers? I would gladly buy subscriptions to shows I really want to see, instead of having 200 shows airing that I could care less about. If you want to sell me a product or service, have the best product or service. Don’t stick annoying commercials in my face. In fact, I am less apt to buy things from companies I see too many commercials for, and we don’t even watch commercials normally. If the people who really watched the shows determined whether on not they stayed on the air, there would be a lot less junk. Maybe they could even offer a stock type setup, so those who are willing to pay more to keep shows on the air could. Ok rambling now.
