Will Fox renew Dollhouse or The Sarah Connor Chronicles?
Fans of Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles know that both shows are not pulling in the live ratings that make Fox execs happy. As TSCC approaches the end of its second season (the finale airs April 10) and Dollhouse fails to improve in the ratings, it's time to face an ugly truth: At least one of these shows is probably going bye bye.
Our friends at Airlock Alpha seemed convinced that Fox will renew Dollhouse and dump TSCC. The site claims that lower production costs and good reviews might keep Dollhouse afloat while low ratings coupled with a high licensing fee might sink TSCC.
So will Dollhouse survive while TSCC gets canceled? Or will both shows get yanked?
TV by the Numbers says Dollhouse isn't safe yet. The site claims Fox will not consider renewing the show if it keeps pulling in low ratings among adults 18-49.
I'm not sure what to think at this point. Fox surprised a lot of fans by giving TSCC a full season pickup late last year. While the show's ratings have slipped since its move to Fridays in February, it has been a solid DVR performer. Same goes for Dollhouse.
I'd hate to see either one of these shows get canceled, but I do enjoy one more than the other. I've been a big fan of TSCC since season one. The show delivered a few duds in February, but it's also delivered some of the best and most compelling sci-fi TV of the season. (Watch last week's episode for proof.)
I enjoy Dollhouse, but the show hasn't really come to life the way I hoped it would. I'm more invested in TSCC and its characters – even the ones made out of metal.
Which show do you think might, or should, survive?
