I couldn't believe the Fox network head blaming the Whedon fans for SCC not being renewed.
Whoa, I totally missed this. Dollhouse related, I presume?
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, while he said that it wasn't an "either or" with the shows, he also said this:
"We did see it trailing off a bit, and ultimately we made the bet on Dollhouse. That's it for Terminator. If we canceled Joss Whedon's show I would have got 110 million emails from his fans today."

"Terminator had a nice little run," explains Entertainment President Kevin Reilly. "We did see it trailing off a bit, and ultimately we made the bet on Dollhouse. That's it for Terminator. If we canceled Joss Whedon's show I would have got 110 million emails from his fans today."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
This is the sort of statement that makes me want to send 110 million e-mails.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I'll split them with you.

Not said, "Also, if we're going to throw away good money for bad numbers, it might as well be on a show we actually own."

Seriously. And that's considering I have no investment in either show.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I am once again reminded that Dark Angel got cancelled in favor of Firefly. Here's hoping that Fox stands by Dollhouse longer than it did Firefly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having watched many episodes of Dark Angel recently, I'll value the few Firefly episodes over two seasons of DA.

More Chuck news:
Mondays held the most dramatic change, with "Heroes" shifted from its longtime spot, moved back to 8 p.m. to help support medical action-drama "Trauma." "Heroes" is also operating with a shortened order next season and doesn't have a spot on the midseason schedule. "Chuck" will replace "Heroes" in midseason and apocalyptic thriller "Day One" will take over for "Trauma."
