Fox has canceled Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

The sci-fi series, which stars Eliza Dushku, is currently filming its 11th episode and will complete its 13-episode order.

Though Dollhouse saw a ratings bump from DVR viewing after a grim performance in the fall, Fox pulled the cult favorite from its November-sweeps schedule after four episodes.

A source close to the production told TVGuide.com that Fox will air the remaining episodes starting Dec. 4 and that the series finale is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 22.

FINALLY!

I'm surprised it lasted this long. it was utter ****. Dushku is a horrible actress, and the show was ****ing terrible.

Here's hoping Whedon does something not-****** next.

[The Stryker]

And nothing of value was lost.

[PAAATE]

F***, I'm watching season 1 right now and I love it!

Argh..

[kev trashcan]

never saw it, but it looked stupid. save that space for something good.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Knew I shouldn't have bothered. Nothing that isn't about doctors and/or cops survives on stupid network TV.

It's like you have ESP and can read my mind

[Powder]

I never watched it but thats cause I have garbage TV radar which tells me not to watch ANY TV.

Fox gave the show a second season even though the first season got terrible ratings.

The second season got terrible ratings as well. They pulled the plug and rightfully so.

The reason Dollhouse was so half-assed in the first place was because FOX ordered that it be self-contained and not have many story-arcs.

Everyone knew what the series was capable of being, everyone knew Whedon wasnt going to have a platform to tell his story properly in that format, thus when they were proven right, they didnt watch it.

[ThirdMarioBro]

And this is why narrow-minded network television is doomed. Everything is streamlined by the networks for the mental retard reality show viewer. That's why Dollhouse is probably my last FCC regulated drama.

They did? **** them.

[odupianist]

yeah Fox really restricted Wheadon on this unfortunately. I'm disappointed it's cancelled. It was no Firefly, but it definitely had potential and had some good themes.

[Brodie]

It would have had more potential, and been more interesting to watch if they had a different actress as the lead.

[odupianist]

I like the other actors and actresses more than her.

6 seasons of LOST, 4 seasons of Friday Night Lights, 8 seasons of 24, dozens of sitcoms, etc. beg to differ.

6 seasons of the Office...And...hey, TMB aren't you all in love with that...whats it called....THE SIMPSONS? How long has that been around? one or 2 seasons?

[Roseangelo]

Yeah, there's really no reason to give up on broadcast TV. I am more selective about what shows I watch "live," though. That is, there are very few shows I watch on a weekly basis as they air. I've found it to just be more enjoyable to be able to watch an entire series from start to finish on my own schedule using DVDs and/or streaming video rather than once a week with a 3-month gap over the summer. Makes season-ending cliffhangers much more manageable. :tthumbsu:

[Ra]

Pfft. Silly Dollhouse. Never really could get into the show. It had an interesting idea, but... something about it was just hard for me to get into. Maybe it was the way FOX kept jamming advertisement after advertisement down everyone's throats before it came out.

Funny since I think they've stopped airing it here after the first season... either that or it's on early in the morning...

I wish The Simpsons hadnt gone two years past it's ten year sell-by date...let alone TEN years after it.:P
