Collegehumor is wrong. Friday is the graveyard of TV, and any show starting or finishing there are likely on their way out, unless a miraculous ratings recovery happens. The Idol premise is wrong, because Idol is on Tues & Wed replacing SYTYC Dance next season, not a Friday show like Dollhouse.
Also sad to tell you that petitions are about useless, because the purpose of a show (to networks) is to sell advertising, not entertain the public. ("sad" because I like Joss's shows, myself.) If the ratings are consistenly low for prime time, and they have been, then even a rabid following will likely lose at saving it. More so in this risk averse environment than ever before. TV stations need profits badly, and want as close to a "surefire" winner as possible, and less tolerant of weak ratings. (Thus the rash of short-lived programs and quick cancellations in recent years.)

he's joking about this being the reason Dollhouse was canceled. it was just a way to joke about this video, which never mentions Dollhouse, its simply making fun of the MacFarlane machine.

Wow. Are you also the type of guy who rationalizes jokes at parties until the humor has completely dissipated and everyone walks away rolling their eyes?

Here's a far out reason I think that i got cancelled. Because it was a bad show. Period. You can complain all you want that Weadon is God's gift to writing, but somethings, 1,000,000 monkeys banging on a typewriter turn out crap, too.
Yes, I tried watching Dollhouse. But it just wasn't good. And yes, I did watch Firefly and thought it was great, thank you very much.
