Joss Whedon Blogs About DOLLHOUSE Rumors

Have you heard about the absolute mess over at the set of Fox’s midseason show, DOLLHOUSE? The set has been shut down, the network hates it, and show creator Joss Whedon is ready to walk because the show he pitched is nothing like the show that is being shot.

I know there’s been a lot of concern, various fabulous hues of panic alert readiness. So here’s the skinny. Some of the names have been changed.
