Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse Renewed For A Second Series

8:40AM Jess McGuire | I’ve only caught a couple of episodes of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse and to be truthful, they didn’t do much for me. But I am assured by fans of the show that not only does the series improve remarkably about halfway through the first season, but it is THE BEST THING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD and I will fall heavily in love with it. Time will tell. Anyway, Dollhouse obsessives will be stoked to learn that the show has been renewed for a second series. More »

Fox Deploys ‘Naked Eliza Dushku’ Gambit To Lure Viewers To ‘Dollhouse’

5:41AM Kyle Buchanan | Maybe Fox actually does want people to watch Dollhouse! After putting together a novel ad for the troubled Joss Whedon project, Fox has pulled out all the stops (and the clothes off star Eliza Dushku). More »

7:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Shutdown Fever! Hot on the heels of 24 stopping production to work out script issues, Joss Whedon’s upcoming Eliza Dushku vehicle Dollhouse is grinding to its own quality-mandated halt. Already, Whedon was instructed by a tinkering Fox to shoot a second pilot (the original will air as Dollhouse’s second episode), and the additional order left him too busy to bring future scripts up to snuff. Currently on its third completed episode, Dollhouse sets will go dark for two weeks while Whedon works out the kinks, though Fox claims its midseason debut won’t be affected. Firefly fans, commence your worrying. [Zap2It] More »

NPH Sweeps The Clouds Away As The Shoe Fairy On ‘Sesame Street’

11:00AM Mark Graham | · Ever since Neil Patrick Harris warned told the world back in February that he would be appearing as The Shoe Fairy on an episode of Sesame Street, we have been waiting for the mystical unicorn rider to appear on our local PBS affiliate. Fortunately for all of us, our long wait is now over. And while we are slightly sad to report that this clip does not have him uttering the line “I am the greatest fairy in all the land” (that bon mot must’ve landed on the cutting room floor), we have better news to share. Prepare yourselves for … a musical number! [Sesame Street] · While we were excited to introduce you to young Levi Alves McConaughey earlier today, a closer look at the photos shows that America’s youngest stoner is already developing some rippling abs! [Best Week Ever] · In the upcoming remake of Friday The 13th, Jason Voorhees has a mullet. This does not bode well. [Friday The 13th Blog] · Is the bloom off Joss Whedon’s rose? We’ll always love and revere him for BtVS, but after getting feedback from the suits at Fox about the pilot episode he shot for Dollhouse, he’s going back to the drawing board to rescript and reshoot the whole damn thing. [Vulture] · Thankfully, this season’s TCA press tour has come to a close. THR’s James Hibberd put together an easy-to-digest recap, which features this refreshingly honest description from the EP of the new Crash television series about how his show will differ from its Academy Award winning source material: “I didn’t want the series to feel somber. Or didactic. Or heavy handed. This is a fun show. The show is not bleak. Or depressing.” We’re sure Paul Haggis would agree. [The Live Feed]
