Sci-Fi Slice have claimed that “˜once “Dollhouse” is over, Joss Whedon is leaving TV for good”¦to pursue creating on-line content along the lines of “Dr. Horrible.”’.
Now, there claim has not been sourced, but let’s assume for the moment that it is true: genre television would surely have lost one of its finest writers, and if ever there was to be a tragedy written about the demise of one of television’s talents at the hands of the executives, surely Joss’s battles with FOX would be right up there.
Those unfamiliar with Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog should check its Wikipedia entry for further details, as it does strike me as the sort of thing Joss would be interested in moving towards. Now that he has his fan following, does he really need the pencil-pushing network television executives telling him how to edit his content? No goram way.
Then again, Sci-Fi Slice might not have a source, and might have just made it up. In which case, disregard this post.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
We never make things up on our Slice of SciFi website. Even items not sourced directly come from our own annonymous sources at various studios, networkss, publishers and other entertainment agencies.
However, on our weekly online and Sirius/XM Satellite radio show we do speculate about various directions a particular story could go. As this particular story was a part of the show, and not a news article on our site, it may fall into the realm of speculation based on some of the things we’ve heard going on over at Fox.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year.
