Dollhouse: Season One Reviews:
Joss Whedon's Genius 
2009-10-28 - This show is absolutely fantastic! Completely different yet equally as exciting, twisted, and thought provoking as Buffy.
Dollhouse catchup 
2009-10-27 - I bought this DVD to catch up on the series as I started watching it in the UK then moved to the US where the 2nd seson was about to begin.
I enjoy most Joss Whedon stuff so it was no big surprise that I enjoyed Dollhouse but lots of others have commented on how easy it is to watch. If you're a Joss Whedon fan or just looking for something a bit different that pushes the occasional moral button then you will no doubt enjoy.
Acting is good all round and I'm very curious where the series will go in Season 2.
Dollhouse
2009-10-26 - Excellent deal on the coolest show on television. I ordered this on Sunday and it was delivered with their free shipping the very next day. Amazon, you rock!!!
Dollhouse Season One
2009-10-26 - I love this show and wanted to be able to watch it anytime I wanted to. The unaired episode that is on this DVD is just what I expected from this show and I was not disappointed.
An open letter to Fox and the public -- in support of Dollhouse
2009-10-24 - To whom it may concern:
I have no idea whether one tiny e-mail will make a difference, but I write to urge you to support Joss Whedon and _Dollhouse_.
Historically, Whedon's series have sometimes seemed to take a year or two to 'find their feet', but if you look at both his track record and the income made on DVD sales both while the shows are running and/or in syndication and after the shows end, you know that Whedon has a thoughtful, intelligent, passionate fan base and excellent word-of-mouth.
You will always do better than break even on his work, and sometimes the profits must be munificent. Whedon comes from the same proud tradition of Mark Twain -- a deeply humanist man who uses humor and pathos to convey messages that are worth consideration for hundreds of years.
Do not think that Whedon's work appeals only to the young -- I'm a middle-aged literary historicist by training, I make my living in the IT industry, and I am constantly delighted and amazed at the thought and intelligence behind the scripts, the care given by the entire cast and crew of each show to performing truly master work.
Yes, there were moments early in many of the shows that make us wince, but these are more than outweighed by the poignancy and power of others.
If one lone viewer's voice matters not, please consider that for every letter you receive, there may well be ninety nine more you did not, because the would-be writers may have feared they would not be heard.
It is hard to see intelligent, thought-provoking, and, yes, value-laden (in both production and ethical senses of the phrase) series be discarded because they don't yield immediate results.
But look at the phenomenon of Whedon's shows and know that ten years from now, Fox will be more proud of this type of envelope-pushing, loving, crafted work than 90% of what is on broadcast television today.
You are more than welcome to contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
Yours most sincerely,
