Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, FOX?

All FOX is good for is Faux News (thank you Rupert Murdoch) and prematurely cancelling good, smart TV or cool sci-fi TV (which is often one and the same). Over the years they have canned many a brilliant show, probs because they cater to idiots and right wing extremists (as if there's a difference...) and killing many of them before some of the best episodes or finales even got to air:

-Arrested Development
-Wonderfalls
-Fastlane (beautifully shot and action-packed, big screen style)
-Tru Calling (ok so it wan't *great*, but it was Eliza Dushku)
-Dark Angel
-Firefly
-Futurama (I liked it on and off)
-Undeclared (I've been an Apatow fan from the beginning)

(note: I also think they let programs like That 70's Show and X-Files run too long until they started to go bad/wrong...)

Actually, I own a good chunk of these series on DVD. Great stuff. But now, in the grand FOX tradition of cancelling sci-fi/fantasy shows, The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canned and things aren't looking good for Dollhouse. In fact, only 12 of the 13 Dollhouse Season 1 episodes are going to air. I guess we are all supposed to dumb ourselves down and watch Don't Forget The Lyrics or Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. I do hear good things about Fringe, but seeing as how it's a sci-fi series on FOX, I shouldn't jump in and get attached because it will probably suddenly be cancelled next week. No, I'm not bitter. What would ever give you that idea?


(yes, I sort of stole the phonetic WTF from Ms. Snarker but it goes so well with my post and all, being that the Actives/Dolls of Dollhouse are named for said alphabet. And yes, I like to speak in parentheticals.)

UPDATE: Apparently all the buzz on the interwebs today has caused even more articles/blogs to be written to try and clarify things. Dollhouse has not actually been cancelled, but a second season still hasn't been confirmed either. There were actually 14 episodes shot, but one was a scrapped pilot that was cannibalized into the other 12 'main' episodes. 'Episode 13' (the one with Felicia Day and Janina Gavankar) exists as an apparent coda to the first season, but is not considered part of the main storyline, it's a stand-alone of sorts. That episode is not going to be aired. It will be on the DVD. Episode 12 is considered the season finale. It sort of ties things up, sort of opens doors for season 2, but is not a big cliffhanger.
