Molested by an astronaut. There’s your answer. What else could explain why Fox would launch a cerebral, high concept scifi show produced by Joss Whedon (Dollhouse) in the very same 9pm Friday time slot that obliterated their last cerebral, high concept scifi show produced by Joss Whedon (Firefly)? Moon-pedophiles.
Before you ask, it’s a little know fact that network executives have a goatee from birth.
I hate to say it, but given all the recent delays, rewrites and production problems, I’d almost rather they just canned the show now and let me say goodbye before I really get hooked. I would like to point out that Dollhouse is premiering on Friday the 13th. That’s how I likes my omens. Good and ominous.
How about a shirt that says “Friday Night on Fox : Where TV Shows Go To Die”?
UPDATE:
I made the shirt.
I wasn’t too happy with the final design, so I took it down for revisions.
Wikipedia actually has an article about the Friday night death slot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_night_death_s…
I know this is way late, but Friday's at 9 was the time slot they played The X-Files in, and it was great…for the first few seasons..and did well.
