I can't believe everyone has picked up on the possible problems airing this new show on Fox and yet missed the most obvious question:

why didn't Whedon + Dusku + Minear = Faith TV Series?

I'm sure this question must have been raised at Joss + Eliza's lunch meeting, so does this mean that if even the creators are no longer interested, that a return to the Buffyverse on TV is now officially dead?

I certainly don't want to get all negative, but wonder if they considered taking it to Sci-Fi Channel or HBO or Showtime before Fox, people are being cautious because Fox has burned Sci-fi fans time and time again. Its not just "Firefly", its "John Doe", "The Lone Gun Men", "Wonderfalls", and "Tru Calling". Among others, ever since "The X-Files" ended its run, sci-fi on Fox has been killed. Why Fox keeps buying sci-fi shows they don't intend to support when these shows would be popular on a network like Sci-Fi Channel or even Showtime is just odd.

Don't be so negative about it being cancelled! Belive in it, and maybe it'll survive! Like Tinkerbelle! And you never know, maybe Fox has learned it's less and now knows that cancelling shows is wrong.

I normally wouldn't complain about the blog posting like the rest of 'em. But in this case, when I clicked on the link to read the article about Joss, I was redirected to a message warning me that I had spyware. I don't believe it, I don't have spyware. So that makes me suspect the source of the article and be slightly annoyed that I have no (easy) way to find out about this show. :-(

Great newspost mentioning a "premise" and then not giving it.

Why not just post a link when I have to read the most interesting part of the news someplace else anyway?

Really bad blogging. Really really bad.

Matthew: you give me hope.

In related news, Dollhouse on the Fox network has been cancelled. 4 of the 7 episodes will air in random order without notice.

As has already been said, it's not fair to paint FOX with the stroke we did a year ago. They've got Kevin Reilly at the helm, his boss is his partner in crime back from the FX days and we all know what Reilly did at NBC. This is a great coup for Reilly and an even greater opportunity for Joss. He's working with Dushku again on an interesting concept at a time when similar concepts are doing well and he's got a network head who's displayed a willingness to be patient in the past. After all if he hadn't, "The Office", "Friday Night Lights" and "30 Rock" would have been canceled first year.

Interesting news...but next time, could you say what the premise is instead of making us go out to another site and then come back?

@#$@%#^$&%*^^&$%! That's all the cursing of unbeliveable surprising joy. This is the last thing I would have expceted from Joss Whedon. I thought he was going to focus on movies and comic books now. And I thought he had such bad feelings for Fox to work with them again. When I first read this I thought he was the creator of the show, re-reading it it implies he might just be a producer. Either way though, the return of Eliza Dushku? She's been MIA from the movie and television screen far too long. The only concern, Fox has a nasty reputation for cancelling shows, even when they do well in ratings. "Tru Calling" being a perfect example.
