They could package Journeyman and Daybreak together in a DVD boxed set. I'd definitely buy that. (Yes, I know different companies probably own the shows, and other than Moon Bloodgood and a time travel conceit, they have little in common, but they were still both great shows that got progressively better, and were canceled before their time. And, ironically, neither aired on FOX.)
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
IMDB says:
Fox TV and the CW networks announced Tuesday that they have decided not to produce pilots of many proposed television programs under consideration. They also said that, as an additional cost-cutting measure, they would abandon numerous projects that had been in development.
If Dollhouse is a goner then that'll set some kind of record.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
20th made Journeyman. That one will probably happen. Touchstone made Day Break and wow did I hate that show.

I love the fearmongering about Dollhouse. Silly.

Tamara - "Day Break" got a lot better as the show went on. The final eps were pretty good.

I don't think it's entirely silly, T. It's $1m an ep more expensive than Firefly. It was supposed to be a Fall show, but if the strike continues it won't meet that timeframe. It's with a network which spent $10m or so on Firefly's pilot, then threatened not to continue with the project, then refused to air the pilot first.

Art Crawl!!!
I enjoyed Daybreak.
ETA: Kidnapped - like Journeyman on NBC - didn't get much of a chance and did get a dvd release.
I don't know what company produced Kidnapped.

le nubian, I'll have to take your word for it. I didn't make it past the second episode.
Kevin, we know the cost per ep on Dollhouse? Really? Isn't any estimates on that premature?
I would like to think that Fox learned its lesson about Firefly, but I guess I could be wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I really like how Daybreak worked around the obvious pitfalls of doing the same day over and over again. I stopped watching Prison Break because I didn't see how they were going to keep up. Well, and also because Wenty wasn't as naked as I'd have liked.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Poor guy has to either live with long sleeves in a hot climate or spend hours in makeup getting tattoos applied. They should've run to Canada.
