The news I never, ever saw coming is here. Dollhouse is totally canceled.
And I am stunned. Stunned!
Fans were both gobsmacked and flabbergasted. Our armies are already mobilizing our considerable forces for save the show campaigns.

First they moved it to Friday. That's because moving a show to the weekend worked so well for so many other sci-fi shows.
Also, choosing to air Dollhouse instead of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles this season was an awesome idea.
This way, Summer Glau could guest star on Dollhouse and lose a job on Fox three times.
Whedon responded to the surprising news. He said, "There's a lot of work to be done, and disappointment to bear."
Why is Whedon disappointed? He relentlessly pursued failure from a source that repeatedly gives it to him.
So dry those tears, young Mr. Whedon! Fox has plenty more cancellation and unemployment for you!
