Dollhouse gets the Axe!

Posted on November 12, 2009November 12, 2009

Fox is currently producing the show's 11th episode of the season; and production has not yet halted, which means "Dollhouse" is expected to finish up its 13-episode order. Fox has confirmed that all 13 episodes will air on the network, with the 13th serving as the series finale.

"Official word from Fox: 'We will air all 13 episodes and this gives Joss the opportunity to end in a significant way'," said Variety's Michael Schneider via Twitter.

I hate it for Joss Whedon but he should have had a more active role in the series than just slapping his name on it. And I really hate that it looks like Summer Glau is becoming a jinx to any TV series that she gets involved with. I like Summer, she has talent and is a icon to most of us SciFi fans.

As for Eliza Dushku I hope she stays far away from future SciFi and Fantasy TV series and movies. Here is a hint Eliza, go do porn honey then we might watch something else that your in.

‘King of the Hill’ Canned, But the Show Goes On!

Posted on November 6, 2008November 6, 2008

A "King of the Hill" pickup would give ABC a well-known franchise to bolster the chances for "Goode Family." It’s a de facto network scheduling rule, learned at Fox through years of trial and error, that animated half-hours fit best with other animated half-hours. But just in case that falls through with ABC, other potential homes for the toon include Comedy Central, FX and Cartoon Network. But the show, which would be entering its 14th season, is believed to be too expensive for a cable network at this point by many of the suits out there. I for one disagree, Cartoon Network has already got a few heavy hitters under there belts where as Comedy Central and FX have picked up drastically in ratings

Fox’s decision not to order any new episodes of "King of the Hill," meanwhile, came just three days before the animated comedy posted its best ratings in a year, averaging a 4.3 rating/10 share in adults 18-49 on Sunday night.
Still, network insiders said Fox won’t likely change its mind on the cancellation. Net executives are looking to freshen up their animated stable, and after 260 episodes, they believed "King of the Hill" is ready for retirement.

But here maybe some bad news though, given the lengthy lead time on animated projects, the 14th season of "King of the Hill " probably wouldn’t be available to ABC or other network until late 2009 or early 2010.

So do you hope "King of the Hill" stays on the air?

Cartoon Network Axe’s “Toonami”

Posted on September 23, 2008September 23, 2008

What is sad is that this once great weekday block, which used to hold all of our favorite anime (at that time) was shoved into a Saturday evening retirement home to live out the rest of its life to entertain drunks, and grounded children.

Below is a video of Toonami signing off for the last time. Take a look at it, it just breaks the heart.
