Producer Joss Whedon’s ratings-challenged, sci-fi series “Dollhouse” shut its doors for good last night with a finale entitled “Epitaph Two,” which found the characters 10 years into the future. Sadly, if not surprisingly, the episode came in 5th in the ratings, drawing 2.16 million viewers.

“Dollhouse” star Eliza Dushku told the LA Times:

I think it’s easy to point fingers at the end and play coulda/shoulda/woulda. I think initially Fox was really excited about Joss and I teaming up, and I think they were excited about the concept, even though Joss has expressed that maybe the concept that they’d thought up and the concept that he created … maybe there was a disconnect there.

We were optimistic that we would maybe have a chance to go on, but we were also realistic knowing that numbers were the way that they were. It was just a bummer because we’re aware of the fan base and the strong audience that we do have for the show and that’s what always inspired us and fueled us.

… many shows upon getting canceled … that’s it. Game over. You don’t get the chance to finish out all the stories and air all of the episodes. So, it’s a really rare thing that we were really grateful for.

“Dollhouse” starred Dushku as a programmable femme-bot created to carry out the needs of the wealthy. While Dushku often carries out my need to ejaculate into a handful of Kleenex Ultra Soft tissues, even she couldn’t get viewers to tune into the show on Friday nights, commonly known as the potter’s field of time slots.

Dushku is included on Clatto’s list of the Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.

Fox has foreclosed on producer Joss Whedon’s sci-fi drama “Dollhouse.” The decision comes as production on the show’s second season nears to a close. A victim of poor viewership, “Dollhouse” was pulled off the November sweeps schedule after only airing four of its 13 episode order. Fox will begin to broadcast the remaining original episodes on Dec. 4.

Whedon comments on Whedonesque.com:

I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star (Eliza Dushku), my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again. I’m off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking. Possibly that relaxation thing I’ve read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you’ll know what my next project is. But for now there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear. Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again.

“Dollhouse” stars Eliza Dushku as a programmable femme-bot created to carry out the needs of the wealthy. While the show was never a hit with the Nielsen’s, it had reached cult status similar to Whedon’s other ill-fated Fox show “Firefly.” But, it’s not all bad news. Fox has ordered reality king Mark Burnett’s new game show “Our Little Genius.” The program pits contestants ages 6-to12 against each other in a battle of smarts. The winner receives an executive position at Fox cash prizes.
