Reapers Join Dollhouse
Posted By Bill Frost on June 18, 2009, 2:39 PM
My ongoing obsessions with Joss Whedon's Dollhouse (barely renewed by Fox) and Reaper (totally canceled by The CW) not longer have to remain mutually exclusive: Reaper creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters have joined the writing staff of Dollhouse, hopefully insuring the previously too-damn-serious-for-its-own-good series will enjoy a shot of geektastic humor, if not a cameo by Ray Wise's perfect Satan--he could be behind the Dollhouse, after all ... right?
If anything, Dollhouse will still be funnier than it's scheduled fall lead-in on (groan) Friday nights, Til Death. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles wasn't enough to attract eyeballs on Friday nights before, so naturally Fox assumes their barely-tweaked version of According to Jim is going to help out Dollhouse. Or they're trying to kill it early in the season and launch So You Think You Can Outsmart a Fifth-Grader? or some shit.
Let the conspiracy theories fly ...
