Comments on: Do Your Part to Save Dollhouse http://www.professorbeej.com/2009/10/do-your-part-to-save-dollhouse-from-being-pulled-off-the-air.html Pop Culture Commentary with an Academic Slant Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:45:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Professor Beej http://www.professorbeej.com/2009/10/do-your-part-to-save-dollhouse-from-being-pulled-off-the-air.html/comment-page-1#comment-2578 Professor Beej Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:27:52 +0000 http://professorbeej.com/2009/10/do-your-part-to-save-dollhouse-from-being-pulled-off-the-air.html#comment-2578 I completely agree. I think Fox had something in for the show from the beginning because they had no idea how to market it. It wasn't one of their traditional dramas, so it was crazy and they had to let it die. Unfortunately, no other network seems interested in Dollhouse thanks to the stigma Fox has placed on it. Even SyFy passed on it after it was announced as cancelled, and they were its best hope at being picked up. I do hope that someone else sees the potential, but as it stands, I don't look for it happening. And that makes me really sad. I completely agree.

I don't think the Dollhouse S1 DVDs did so well, but that's also because of pricing. The Firefly DVD set was just a great deal, and if the studio lowers the Dollhouse price by Christmas, I think there could be a surge there. I wouldn’t doubt this at all.

Seems like it could be a plausible strategy. Firefly DVDs were a top seller on Amazon for months if I remember correctly.
