Is Dollhouse in the doghouse?

It’s like deja vu all over again.  Fox has decided to place the new Whedon show Dollhouse on Fridays at 9pm, Eastern.  Fans of Firefly are probably having flashbacks to its own deadly timeslot of Fridays at 9pm.  And it’ll be in competition with Clone Wars and whatever lands on that slot on SciFi, once Stargate Atlantis is off the air.  But they’re pairing it with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so hopefully that will help it a little.

i09 is hopeful, though, and thinks this will be Joss’ best show ever.  Think those shiny thoughts, people!

SDCC ’08: Saturday and Sunday at the con

While I don’t doubt there were still plenty of Star Wars fans still roaming around Saturday and Sunday, with most of the panels being on Friday there wasn’t much new floating around. Well, except for the Mandalorian wedding. (Oye vey.) And Cinematical posted a brief review of Fanboys. And the official site has more pictures, of course, while Rebelscum continues exhaustively documenting the booths and products of every licensee.

Dr. Horrible Breaks the Internet

Apparently geek musicals are popular, these days. A big sorry to those of you who were excited to hear that we had another Whedon musical on our hands only to find yourselves unable to get there.

It appears that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was so popular that it took out the website; along with Whedonesque.

While Joss sent word through E!’s Watch with Kristin that they would soon be back up, it appears to still be down this morning. (US Eastern)

Those willing to pay can try their luck with iTunes. It seems to be holding up under the strain. (A season pass is only US$3.99)

Support a Canadian charity on Canada Day

A Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian members and friends.  There’s something you can do in celebration.

We’ve told you previously about Michael Shank‘s on-going auction to support the Canadian National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Looking over the list today, there are some cool items from Firefly (Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk) and SuperNatural (Jared Padelecki, Jenson Ackles) that aren’t getting much action.  This might be your chance to pick up some nice items from those fandoms and still support a good cause.
