We received an e-mail from our friend Liz Gannes at NewTeeVee and it made me smile so much I had to run home and blog about it. Liz forwarded a link from Wired’s “Underwire” blog with the following headline:
Dollhouse Fans Campaign To Save Show — Before 2009 Airdate
Yep, some Josh Whedon faithful are staging a preemptive strike, fearing the worst and that the show will be cancelled like Firefly. An enterprising Canadian, Nathan, the administrator of dollhouseforums.com is launching the campaign. From a post on his site:
“After seeing some of my favorite television shows get cancelled in the past — as well as the “save this show” campaigns that followed — I had the idea that a fan campaign BEFORE the show begins may be the best thing to do. Maybe not such a negative campaign directed towards saving it from getting cancelled, but something that will get fans motivated to promote Dollhouse to friends/family/coworkers before it airs is smarter than doing it once it’s in danger! If we plan now, we may be able to have several ideas planned by the premiere to make people watch and make advertisers actually want the show on the air.”
While I do applaud the initiative, I’m inclined to agree with a few of the comments left on Nathan’s site that it may be a double-edged sword. One thing doing TVbytheNumbers has taught me is that fans are indeed leery of investing time in shows they fear will be cancelled, Highlighting the risk could potentially work against the show.
But it still brought a smile to my face.

It’s not like you guys have any reason to think the worst of us.
Question: Your fans are very protective of you. Some of them heard "midseason" and there was a bit of, "The sky is falling! FOX is going to screw him again!" What do you say to those concerns?
Whedon: Well, you know, I get it. I understand that and I feel bad because I want to be able to explain, without sounding like an apologist, that it doesn't work the way it used to. The winter is prime time for FOX. Firefly came out in the fall, had to fight baseball, and lost. FOX has always been incredibly supportive of [Dollhouse], and they also said, "Well, you haven't finished it. These guys [at Fringe] have finished theirs." And we were gunning for winter. We were like, "We hope we get January, because we want American Idol time, not baseball time." Not to say that they're not supporting Fringe, it's just that either one works for different reasons. I like the idea of making my episodes before they go out – it's how we did Buffy and it worked great for us. But yeah, for some people it has the stink of midseason, when in fact the whole concept of the season is deteriorating. So we're going up with the premiere of 24.

Question: If you do six years of this show, do you know the end?
Whedon: I don't know the end zone, because you've got to leave that up to the viewers to an extent, but I know the arenas. When I pitched the show, I said, "Here's the pilot, here are the characters, here's episode six and sort of what we do every week and here's the first two years, second two years, third two years." So yes, because the show has to progress. Especially a show like this, where while it's a week to week show – she'll go on a different engagement every week and it'll have a complete story – like Buffy, ultimately what people will become invested in is the arcs of the characters. You cannot just hit reset. Somebody, I forget who and I apologize to them in advance, but somebody said, "Scully was pretty much like a doll that they imprinted and she kept forgetting that there might be monsters." You can't do that. You have to let them grow. So I said, "The first arc is this, the second arc is this, the third is this." There's room for change though, but they know I have a five year plan and that's important.

Question: What do you make of this whole "Remote-Free" concept? You have to do another few minutes of your show, and then afterwards, for repeats, presumably cut a few minutes.
Whedon: That's a good point! They didn't bring up the repeats. But you know, we've always had to cut out a couple of minutes of a show for repeats. That's always been the way. But I don't really deal with that that much. But they've also said, "We want longer versions for the DVD." Ultimately, I tend to shoot long. Our shows tend to go long. Some come in short – it will happen. But generally they go long. So this just means a little less heartache in the editing room. But we also have to make sure that when we cut a show down to 40 minutes, you make it the best 40 minutes. So we're not going to be like The Office and shoot way too much, but yeah, we're going to have a production issue about shooting just a little bit more, because even if I love it at 46 minutes, there's a chance it could be tighter. But I never want to vamp. You're not gonna get a bloated first cut – you're gonna get a 46 minute story.
