"There've been some changes inside Fox I don't know if you're aware of," Dushku said. "I think Friday nights were a difficult night. Now we have Prison Break coming in, and we've been keeping our audience. It's not just a Nielsen world anymore. They factor in DVR. They factor in iTunes and Hulu, and we seem to have a pretty rich, pretty strong fan base. People are really getting into the show and [creating good] word of mouth, and the shows are getting more and more complicated and twisted. I feel like people are talking about it even more, and hopefully that gets back to the folks at Fox."

Personally I still have a strong gut feeling that we will be getting a season 2 *fingers crossed*
 
"rich fanbase?!" :shock:
Yeah, now that I think of it, I do like to light my cuban cigars with a $1000 bill. :lol:


Let's hope ED is right!
 
In my mind it's already been cancelled. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong, but I've been prepared for bad news since the show premiered pretty much.
 
It's always been asumed that Fox were going to cancel it before it even started so I don't think anyone would be shocked if they did, but I think it's looking hopeful that we'll get a second season.
It doesn't seem to be doing half as bad as some of the shows that have been given a second season.

((Although, I know a lot of people watching it are torrenting it which will probably show rather badly against the viewing figures.))
 
I think it's gonna be canceled. I was chatting about it with the guys in my DnD group on Friday night. It seems like the show will have the ability to give itself enough closure that it wont need to be renewed, and I can't say that's a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, I love Dollhouse, and plan on buying the DVD's as soon as they come out, but I honestly don't see the show going too far. I think it was intended to be a shorter show, not a 7 season show like Buffy (although I think Buffy wasn't meant to be that long either), and if the show ends up going too long they will have to write more than is intended, and that always leads to a lower bar for writing. That being said, one more season would probably be ok, allowing the show to fully tell the story without being rushed too badly. But more than 2 or 3 season and I think it will just become fan service crap, and not have much to offer as far as excellent narrative. Then again, I could be wrong, and if anyone can prove me wrong, its Joss.
 
I have high hopes, but I have a good deal of fear. I really WANT it to continue, but I felt that way with Buffy and Angel as well. Now we have comics but I don't think that will work for Dollhouse
