Regular readers and those who know me in
meatspace are aware that I am a big fan of creator/writer/director/producer/composer/geek
Joss Whedon. What you may not realize is that I've never seen any new
Whedon-created television. By the time Nick introduced me to the wonder of
Firefly, that series had already ended, as had
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel. Thus, I only know those shows through DVDs. I
have been
privileged to see some of
Whedon's work when it was first available; I saw
Serenity on opening weekend---and also later in its run---and I watched each of the 3 acts of
Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog as it was made available on the
interwebs. Still,
Mutant Enemy, Whedon's production company hasn't made anything for small screen, since I became a fan.
Until this Friday.
Friday night, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time,
Whedon's new series,
Dollhouse, premieres. The show is
airing on Fox, which has prematurely canceled some of my favorite shows,* so I'm not
optimistic about a long run, but you can certainly guess where I'll be on Friday at 9.
I'm still not sure I can bear to watch before knowing whether it will live. I'll put the DVR on it, but I think I may just let the eps collect until it's renewed or cancelled (deleting the eps unwatched in the latter case).
