Dollhouse may be in trouble.
Oct. 4th, 2009 09:37 pmDollhouse, the most interesting show on TV right now, continues to have poor ratings because of underwhelming publicity.
The first season got to a slow start but soon raised some very interesting ideas about identity, mind-body duality, consent and self-deception. Heck, it's the first time I've seen someone explore the notion that a mind is not entitled to consent to what happens to its body. Or a mind feels guilty because it is using someone else's body and doesn't want to give it back because that will mean its own death.
Thematically this may be Joss Whedon et al's most complex and ambitious work ever and it's heartbreaking that it may be canceled mid-season because no one watches it.
If you are even mildly interested in this show, I hope you'll consider watching it this Friday at 9/8C on Fox. We need to muster up the ratings so the show can make it to the POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE that the creators have planned.
If you have a Neilsen box and watch it, I will send you baked goods. DVR it and watch it again!
If you don't have a Neilsen box, watch it any way.
You can also watch it streaming from Hulu or FOX On Demand. If you are outside the US, try this trick.
Watch it repeatedly! You can even have it streaming in another tab with the sound on mute while you surf the internet.
Or download it from iTunes or Amazon.
Or buy Season 1 on DVD. Or Blu-ray.
