Was it actually any good; it didn't get good reviews AFAICS. I only ask because I've been recording it on the V+ box but haven't watched any of it yet....

I've persisted with it, but it's never really taken off. A good premise undermined by the fact that Eliza Dushku struggles to play one character convincingly, never mind a new one each week.

FOX wanting new adventures each week like The A Team... We've watched the 1st three on DVD to get the gist, then, last one being duff, jumped straight to an episode called 'Man On The Street' from which point Whedon and co had more control and it really, necessarily, improves. Read that the case in several reviews and comments on the 'net, otherwise, even as a Whedon fan, might have given up.

He needs to find a network, maybe HBO?, that'll give him free(r) reign from day one. 'Firefly' was really hitting it's stride when that was axed.

Agreed that the first series didn't properly take off until episode 6/7 but I quite liked Dollhouse.

Summer Glau must be feeling even worse than Joss having been in at least three shows that were cancelled (Firefly, Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse).

dollhouse-very e4

bought the boxset, garbage
