Speaking of Fox, WTF! Dollhouse was cancelled? What is wrong with Fox, seriously?!?!

Dan's_Gurl · 11-20-2009, 05:17 PM

i can't really argue with Fox about canceling dollhouse. I did like it, but they gave it a fair chance. They promoted it plenty for a midseason show last year, and the ratings were still low. They gave it a second season, and the ratings were even lower. They gave it a fair chance.

Tolkien · 11-20-2009, 06:08 PM

Someone has to let me know if it at least has an ending, not some cliffhanger. I just purchased season one, but havn't started watching it yet. To be fair, I didn't give Firefly a chance until it came on DVD and after watching it for the first time, it became one of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi shows.

Steve from Indy · 11-20-2009, 08:24 PM

Never get hooked on a Fox show, unless it's crap.

Steve from Indy · 11-20-2009, 08:41 PM

In other news: I watched Food Inc. last night, and I am now essentially a pesco-vegetarian. I'm going to try to buy only organic food, but god it's expensive! We need to begin subsidizing organic farming instead of the garbage we currently subsidize to help out poor people. I don't think I can give up fish, but I've pretty much already stopped eating beef and chicken, so that part won't be hard.

A word of caution: If you decide to watch Food Inc, eat the nastiest, unhealthiest, heart-stopping meal that you love, because you may not want to afterward. I was already pretty clear on what goes on, and have been trying to change my diet for years, so maybe you won't have the same reaction, but you probably won't mindlessly choke down a cheeseburger for at least a few days.

Please tell me you went and got a picture of her looking all disgusted. Nothing makes me happier than seeing her / other pundits mad.

Fox has a track record of allowing daring new shows on the air and bailing out on them if they don't dominate the ratings. (Dollhouse, Wonderfalls, Firefly are a few examples that come to mind).

24 only survived because of the relative fame of Kiefer Sutherland going into the show and the 18-34 male demographic buying in early on.

**JBond** · Yesterday, 01:16 AM

And the genius of being the first show to release its season on DVD following the airing of it.

redman · Yesterday, 08:34 AM

i am so sick of friends making plans and then bailing at the last minute.

there should be a bro-code that forces friends to not bail for some pathetic excuse like "my girlfriend and I are having a fight".

screw the girlfriend!

figuratively!

Unfortunately Fox looks at cost of production - and reality shows are cheaper

Ramplate · Yesterday, 10:37 AM

well here's hoping I get a lot of last minute Ninja bids for my eBay auction - I bought the book for $50 so I hope it goes for at least that much

Tolkien · Yesterday, 01:36 PM

I was a frequent seller on eBay back in the day.

That was before the hike in adding fees though.

**JBond** · Yesterday, 10:39 PM

So, if I didn't get the bookstore warehouse job because it was filled internally, why does it keep showing up on the job website? I mean, they must be getting soooo many offers they don't need, now that the position has been filled. That would be so distracting you would think it wouldn't show up every week for the past 3 weeks. That'd they'd fix it.

Because the only other explaination would be that they LIED to me, but that's rediculous, because what kind of ****head would lie to someone about a position being filled when really NO ONE was good enough for their 6 weeks of putting things in boxes that they would need to keep looking?

**Frizzo the Clown** · Yesterday, 10:43 PM

If it makes you feel better, I've got a position you can fill internally.

halo7 · Yesterday, 10:43 PM

A lot of job sites leave their postings up for (as far as I can tell) all of time. There are a few listings I have gotten excited about only to see they have been up for nearly two years.

I thought you only hired midgets for that

**JBond** · Yesterday, 11:11 PM

They're midgets. It takes like 4 or 5 of them.

i am having a weird blast from the past week. I've had like eight people I haven't talked to in ages, or people who went to my high school who i only knew through friends of friends, add me to facebook or twitter. it's kind of freaking me out a bit now. I feel like a mass conspiracy is forming against me.

What is it, like 2 years ago since you graduated HS? Talk to me when people you haven't seen in 25 years want to add you to FB.

We stopped being friends, what does that tell you?
