I read a synopsis for it a while ago. It sounds interesting. I just might return to watching television for this show. Been a long time since now that I just buy DVD sets of my favorite shows.

I have been watching a lot of shows online lately, though. It's very nice to fit shows into my schedule instead of the other way around. I also recently signed up for Netflix and caught up on all back episodes of The Office - which are all available to watch on their website and without commercials. I had heard good things about The Office, but didn't decide to start watching it until Joss directed an episode. :)
We have all the seasons of The Office on DVD. Which episode was directed by Joss?
Mod
The second one is "Branch Wars" in season 4. :)

Watching online is a great way to show the network that people are watching it - that will help when they decide whether to pick it up for more episodes or not.

ya! and i put up a Dollhouse group! it's public so anyone can join.
I wasn't really sure about Dollhouse at first. I knew not to expect Firefly, but it seemed to lack some of the wit and fun that's laced throughout Firefly. However, there have been some interesting plot twists lately and I'm beginning to see a bit more of that Joss Whedon humor . . .
I haven't seen it yet, but apparently Amy Acker (sp?) is in it somewhere. I love Fred. XD
It's definitely worth watching. Catch up with this season if you can. Every show has the beginning jitters, but the past 5 episodes or so have just been amazing, a perfect mix of that Whedon sense of humor and some really trenchant observations on what makes us human. A smart show, to be sure. Here's hoping it doesn't suffer Firefly's fate.

I thought the last two episodes were great--especially with the appearance of Alan Tudyk (in a very non-Wash role). I hope FOX gives this show another chance; I was very hesitant about it in the beginning, but it has been steadily improving as the series goes on.
Dollhouse is finally airing in the UK tomorrow (on SciFi), I can't wait!!!!!!!!

That's great! When you get a chance to watch it, come back and tell us what you think.

I completely agree, Amanda. In the beginning, it was a show I enjoyed watching, but I wouldn't rearrange my schedule for it. I liked it more and more with every episode. I started wondering about the mysteries and caring about the characters.
Finally got the season 1 DVD (I didn't watch it on TV, missed the first few episodes and so waited to watch it from the beginning). I agree that it definately gets better as it goes on, and Epitaph One was pure genius. A great episode that could have been the perfect epilgue if the series wasn't picked up for another season, but also a great teaser now that it has. It gave me man reactions!

Dollhouse season 2 starts on September 25! Click here to watch a very nice video of Joss talking about the second season. (Although those who like to stay completely spoiler-free might not want to watch it. He gives a few details of the first episode.)
Yeah, the season 1 DVD has Epitaph 1, which is the thirteenth episode of the season (but is really a stand alone episode) and the original unaired pilot. At least the region 2 does anyway, I'm assuming region 1 is the same.

I loved Dollhouse and still miss it. I'm about to start a rewatch as I have S1 on DVD and all of S2 on iTunes - will get it on DVD as soon as it comes out - it's available for preorder now from amazon.
***Semi-Spoiler Alert, sorry***I loved Dollhouse until the very end when they made the abrupt transition int the post-apocalyptic future. I thought that turn was too dismal for the show, which – though it hadn't exactly been pink and fluffy up until then – was generally light and humorous in its approach to the big moral qualms. (I actually liked the Dollhouse and was sad to see its downfall.) It seemed like they had to rush into the big finale because they were only going to get 2 seasons. Dollhouse was another very good show of Whedon's that didn't get the run time or appreciation it deserved.
Joss needs to go all Oprah and have his own network so he can tell whatever stories he wants for as long as he wants to tell them.

I really liked this show. I just saw Felicia Day (she was in the epitaph episodes) at the Emerald City Comic Con. Which was really awesome. Also, 'Wash' was really great when he made a few appearances as 'Alpha'. If you liked firefly, you should give this a chance. Why Fox? Why?
It's already started to get some good reviews:
