For the Joss Whedon Fans

[Amy Pritchard]

Doesn't it seem like community managers and moderators are disproportionately Joss Whedon fans? He has RETURNED (or will) to the small screen with a new series to air on FOX in January. It is call Dollhouse and here is an advance clip:

(BTW, my daughter is 2.5 and a computer whiz already. The other day she wanted to go outside to the park and she pointed to the doorknob and said "click here, mommy". Seriously......)

I am a long time Joss Whedon fan!

I can't wait to check out Dollhouse. I'm actually surprised he is with Fox after the way they treated Firefly!

Here is another clip from his new show. It looks really good. I really like the cast he has lined up for it.

You know. I even KNEW that the other clip was an exclusive. And still...

It is a great story! Here is an excerpt from an interview he did with the LA Times:

Eliza had made the deal at Fox and we got together to talk about her ambition, her management, her opportunities, because I've always felt that she's a huge star. Plus, she's a friend.

But I was trying to get a movie off the ground, "Goners." "Wonder Woman" had already crashed and burned. "Goners" they had already lost control of the instruments, but who knows? So things were not that auspicious, but I was working it. Not shunning television but not intending to come back. But as we discussed Eliza's predicament, I started giving her some ideas about what I thought she would need: a genre show so she could be political without being partisan; an ensemble show so she didn't have to be in every scene. And I thought about it for a bit and then literally went, oh, curse word, I just came up with the show and the title. And it was the title that I knew I was doomed. Because if you have the title, you know it's right. And that's just bad.

When we really discussed the whole thing, she said, "You're talking about my life. In my life, everybody tells me who they want me to be while I try and figure out who I am." And that spoke to me. I agreed that I'll write and maybe oversee the pilot. So I went home and said, "Honey, I'm sorry, I accidentally agreed to a Fox show at lunch."

I've seen Firefly a few times (and Serenity- since hubby likes it) but I'm a huge Buffy fan ;-)

[Amy Pritchard]

OK, this is cracking me up. Fans of Dollhouse have mounted a campaign to "save the show" BEFORE it has even aired. LOL. Whedon fans are sooooo negative!

That's because they have seen how Fox mishandled his previous show on their network!

Firefly was a really good show. Fox kept jumping around the schedule and even aired episodes out of order. I don't think they ever showed the first episode which totally messed up the whole set up of the series!

I clicked your link with a leery eye... but still do not know who Joss Whedon is.
Is there going to be a test?

[Amy Pritchard]

yeah, Rick Roll has ruined the blind link!

[Crystal Litzau]

I love Joss Whedons' work!
Buffy was awesome and Firefly was amazing! I was so glad when Serenity came out (though I hated Joss for a little while at the end of it - WTF did you do to Wash?!?!?!)

Isn't it sad that the very best shows get treated terrible, and the so-so and the overrated shows get all the attention? :(

Here is a link to the trailer for Dollhouse. So that if you really have no clue what it is about it gives a greater in depth understanding of the show. Oh and by the way Jss Whedon is a genius and I have met Eliza twice at 2 different conventions.

And here is what Joss and company did during the writers strike. Its hilarious! http://www.drhorrible.com/
I met Joss two years in a row at the California Browncoat booth in San Diego at Comic-con. He's going to be at Comic-con again this year with Eliza for "Dollhouse". I cant wait!
