Joss Whedon is (or will be if the writers’ strike ends anytime soon) working on a new sci-fi tv series for Fox, starring Buffy alum Eliza Dushku, titled Dollhouse.
This is awesome, amazing, spectacular news.
Right?
Not really.
Name me one genre series after X-files and Millenium that lasted more than two seasons on Fox.
Um, Futurama, which was to the Simpsons what Millenium was to The X-Files.
Oh, there was Sliders, which they cancelled after the first season, then revived for two seasons, and then pawned off on the sci-fi network.
So, slim pickings.
The best we can hope for is a season and half.

and definitely some others I can’t think of right now.
Joss should just plan his story-line to last a season and a half right now. Anything past that would be an utter miracle.

As far as I know, I may have only ever seen one episode of Wild…
