Trouble in the Dollhouse?
Details used in this post and more can be found in the full, original story, here.
Joss Whedon is reshooting the pilot to the upcoming FOX43 show Dollhouse. Retooling things is often a bad sign in television, but Mr. Whedon thinks it's for the best and will only make the premiere stronger.

In a post to the fan Web site Whedonesque.com, Mr. Whedon said that, while he’s happy with how the original pilot turned out, it wasn’t the perfect template to introduce viewers to ...
...his concept.

Mr. Whedon said the decision to shoot a new first episode was entirely his own and said he’s not simply being “a good soldier” by making changes.
“The network truly gets the premise (this is a whole new crew, as you know), loves the cast, is excited about the show,” he wrote. “But they’re also specific about how they want to bring people to the show and I not only respect that, I kinda have to slap my forehead that I didn’t tailor my tone and structure to the network’s needs, since that’s something I pride myself on.”
Whether or not the show strikes a chord with fans remains to be seen, but at least we know the man behind the show - and cult hits like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly - will make sure Dollhouse is putting its best foot forward when it hits FOX43 this fall!
Dollhouse also marks Eliza Dushku's return to FOX43, after Tru Calling was cancelled way too soon a few years ago. (It was just hitting its stride!)
She's also a Buffy and Angel alum, meaning Whedon and Dushku fans have plenty to look forward to...
