The Joss Whedon/Eliza Dushku drama will finish its 13-episode order, but after that, Dollhouse is dunzo.

Dollhouse only averaged 3 million viewers this season, compared to last season’s 4.7 million.

Dollhouse will return in December, but you beyond its current 13 episodes, can we expect more… or is a cancellation in the near future?

When Dollhouse returns in December, back-to-back episodes will air on Friday night.

Joss Whedon posted at Whedonesque.com: “…unless something very odd happens in the next few months, I will have the privilege of shooting an episode of GLEE.”

He continues: “I just want to work with good people on a show that I like enough to have watched every episode several times.”

Plus, Whedon promises, “I’m going to do my best, and more importantly, I’m going to do my best not to gush like a fanboy for eight straight days on set,”

As for Dollhouse, there are definitely rumors that the show won’t continue. To that, Whedon says, “No, this doesn’t mean Dollhouse definitely won’t get a back nine. Our numbers mean that! But I kid. Okay, we’re not exactly saving all the good stuff for 14-22, but nobody’s closed the door. If D’House suddenly busts wide, huzzah, we’ll still bring it, and I’ll still go and direct an episode of Glee, because of my love of cops. These realities can co-exist. And possibly cross over, at least in fiction that I have wri – read.”

While the ratings for Dollhouse haven’t been all that spectacular, an analysis of DVR viewing data was also factored in when the Fox execs made their decision.

Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman said: “We’re going to run all the episodes,” “We’re not saying we’re happy with those numbers, or accept them, but we don’t have to overreact.”

Of course, while we can celebrate that 13 episodes this season will air – there’s no word yet whether a full season order will happen… let alone a renewal for a third season. According to Fox, those decisions won’t come for awhile.

Joss Whedon is at the ready, writing episode 13 and promising fans “We’ll definitely have closure but will leave some doors open.”

Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku is rumored to be dating former basketball pro Rick Fox, though the two have not yet confirmed they’re a couple.

Star magazine reports that a source says Dushku and Fox are an item, saying, “They’d been trying to play down their relationship. But there’s no denying that it’s hot and heavy. She’s completely smitten with him, and they have an amazing time together.”

Fox has picked up Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse for a second season run, despite less-than-stellar ratings.

Dollhouse, from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly, stars Eliza Dushku.

When asked what body parts Chelsea Handler is most proud of, she said: “My boobs are good. They’re real and perky. Even if you can’t see them, the important thing is that I know about them, and the guys I’ve slept with know about them.”

Are you a fan of the new hit show Dollhouse? If so, you can ask creator Joss Whedon anything you want about the show! All you have to do is send your questions into askjoss@hulu.com by 9 AM PT on Wednesday, February 25th and Hulu will pick their favorites and forward them on to Joss!

Fox first tested its “remote free” TV theory back in September, with the premiere of hit- TV series Fringe. But audience members who viewed the premiere of Dollhouse got the same treatment.  During A typical hour-long television show, viewers spend anywhere from 14-16 minutes viewing commericals. With this new theory, each episode averages only 10 minutes of commercials. 

Does it really make a difference ot viewers? Brian Stelter at The New York Times says “Fox says the shorter commercial breaks keep viewers more engaged and improve brand recall for advertisers. Viewers are also less likely to change the channel or fast-forward past the ads — but not to the degree that Fox would have liked. Perhaps more important, the network does not appear to be recouping all the costs of the experiment. It is unclear whether Remote-Free TV will be back next season”

Big wigs at Fox assure audiences that they are happy with the results they are getting from this remote-free revolution. Jon Nesvig, the president of sales for Fox Broadcasting, said “Even if it wasn’t an absolutely positive financial success, it was definitely a worthwhile experiment and something that I am glad we have attempted and will continue to work on.”
