So impressed! and so annoyed!

Even if they got Joss to make another season, they'd end up jerking it around to death like they did the first one. I wish Joss ran his own damn network......seriously.
 
I would pay a premium for Joss TV. I'd much rather have that than, say HBO. But yeah, if Joss had a network and he did Buffy, Angel, and Firefly reruns as well as new shows (like Dollhouse and some of the Buffyverse spin-offs that he always wanted to do), I would only need that channel and ABC to be happy!

Maybe Joss should do without the networks. He's popular enough that he could get outside investing. Maybe he should start a channel online and stream video - with commercials, of course. Then, he'd have the freedom to do as he chose. I'm sure a ton of people would be willing to use that medium.

You should go tell him that!! Him and Tim Minear have alot of shows under there belts. Just throw them all on one channel ^_^ But it would get repetitive after a while because they may have alot... but not toooo much. Maybe like you said when Online t.v. picks up more this could happen ^_^ :coolman: : king :
 
One word: FOX.

They don't know what good TV is. They've canceled Tru Calling, Drive, AND Firefly. All AMAZING shows that are somehow related to Joss. Coincidence? Plus, Dollhouse (the new Joss show) is coming on Fox. Hope it doesn't get canceled. Also, Bones (David Boreanz) is on Fox, but it's been doing good, although it has been pushed around by American Idol numerous times.

Basically, it's ratings were too low. They didn't give it a chance.
 
This move by FOX was what finally turned me away from that network. They're too boneheaded to realize a good series when they have one. I never watched the shows while they were on TV because I didn't even know they were on. Then when I went to a military school one of my new friends there started talking about it because Serenity was getting ready to come out in theaters. We saw the movie together and I loved it. I wanted more. I then watched the series and got immediately hooked. I bought the DVD set last year. This show was awesome! Joss Whedon was at his best with this series. Malcolm was a great conflicted character. Jayne was the typical dumb hilarious action brute every great action should have. Walsh was the sarcastic pilot that was almost reminiscent of Han Solo. Kaylee was just... Gosh... Cute... And I loved the mystery of River and the psychosis complications she was having. It just frustrates me still to no end that once again Joss got screwed by another network. I've said it once and I'll say it again, I hope the WB/CW and FOX suffer from poor ratings and have to disband.
 
This is a really good show, but I'm not convinced that it would have taken off no matter what FOX had done to promote it. Better shows than this get canceled all the time, it's just a fact that the majority of viewers don't like uniqueness very much. Perhaps if the show had come out a couple of years later, and aired behind an entire season of American Idol, it would have caught on. Otherwise, I think the only way this would have been considered a modest success is if it had aired on The WB.

The CW didn't do a damn thing to Joss Whedon.

The WB didn't do too much harm either. They weren't willing to pay 20th Century Fox's prices for a license fee after season five. Big deal! UPN picked it up. No harm done. The only mistake they made was pulling the plug on Angel but they did give Joss some forewarning, now didn't they? And they did acknowledge the fact it was a mistake later on, which most networks would not do.

And FOX isn't even run by the same people any more, so unless they go screw around Dollhouse people should just lay off. 🙂
 
While I do think Fox did some MAJOR screw ups with the mixing up the episodes and then moving the nights, I have to admit, even if they hadn't and had promoted it...even during everything I watch, I doubt I would have watched it.
MAYBE...depending if they showed ENOUGH commericials and the right kind of commercials. But, I'm not so much Sci-Fi oriented and Sci-Fi/Western wouldn't have done much to attract me. I would have been FAR more likely to watch Buffy, and never did that either.

I only watched it AFTER I had seen Angel and then seen all of Buffy....and only because of Joss.

Personally, I think it should have been shipped DIRECTLY to the Sci-Fi Channel...not passing Fox or collecting $200.
