Well, yay for Dollhouse. It went from being creepy and crappy to interesting so I guess I'll watch more. But I thought Jericho suffered with a smaller cast and I hope that doesn't happen here.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Terminator went from 18 million viewers to below 3 million by the end of season two.

In addition to the CGI, didn't SCC have more location shooting and car chases/crashes than just about any other show?

Even though I found it possible to watch all the way through the first season of Dollhouse, I'd still rather have a third season of T:SCC.

I can think of a lot of shows I'd rather have than Dollhouse. But unfortunately trading was never an option.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still stunned by the renewal. Is this a reaction to an unpredictable market, or are DVR numbers really starting to matter to network execs? That would mean I'm being counted. Cool.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I was playing SCC on my DVR straight through every weekend to be counted more! I never bothered with Dollhouse.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm sure there's a number of forces at play, and that potential DVD sales, DVR and online viewings and licensing fees are all in the mix.
But I can't help but wonder if Fox's development deal with Dushku is part of the answer. I don't know all the terms of her deal, obviously, but a development deal usually infers that, if they cancel "Dollhouse," they'll be obliged to develop something else for her, and why bother with that when there's a salvageable vehicle in front of them. Especially when that will probably be more expensive overall, and that it will likely be more risky to introduce another new show into a volatile market.
So, yeah. "Dollhouse" gets another 13 episodes, which isn't exactly a full order, and Fox gets to push off ordering new pilots for a few more months, when the economic climate has hopefully improved. And if "Dollhouse" succeeds, them, well, that's awesome for everybody.

Not with the usual development deal. It's more like they've bought her time, and she can't work for anyone else. I know people who've gotten development deals but not even a pilot.
