called "Farmer Wants A Wife".
pretty sure it's a European import, so not even their idea!
From listening to NPR it sounds like it's based on a French show. Poor French farmers, I forget the actual percentage of them who are unmarried, but it was ridiculoulsy high, 70-80% or something. Someone has to give them a matchmaking hand!
So it looks like Dollhouse will be mid-season according to Nikki Finke.

I really hope I don't have to go find an edible hat. And I still find this extremely hard to believe. Seems very different than everything I have heard at work. Of course, the people scheduling don't exactly consult with me.
so, is there a 13 ep pickup at least? will there be at least a dvd set coming out of this?
No, there's only been a 7 episode pick-up. I'd imagine that FOX wants to see how the show performs before ordering more episodes. But being a Joss Whedon show, I'd say a DVD set is almost definite.
Has there been any news about whether or not Miracle Man is going to air in the fall or when it is supposed to start production?
Actually, according to this site, there will be 13 episodes of Dollhouse.
I haven't heard even the tiniest bit of info on Miracle Man. Invisible Green, why would you think that site was reliable?
Oh, I don't know if it is.
sj, ABC's upfronts are tomorrow and Wednesday. I think we shall be Miracle Manless, unfortunately.
I can see why there's talk of shifting Dollhouse to '09. It would let the scheduling peeps attempt to recreate the Sarah Connor launch, and let them run the show week to week without reruns.
