Don't worry y'all, it will be okay


Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's new show is truly a big gift to the fans. But some of them are already thinking wayyy ahead to save the show from Fox's foolishness. After the way Fox treated the cult space-western, Firefly, fans are worried it could happen again.

So to prevent future cancellations, DollhouseForums.com, an online campaign group encorages followers to set up viewing parties, watch the trailers online, buy Dollhouse stuff and create more fan sites in its honor.

According to Wiki, Dollhouse
is about a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls" who volunteered for the work in the Dollhouse. They give up five years of their lives, and at the end they receive a large sum of money and no memory of anything they did for the Dollhouse. The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic house , a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

Also there's a facebook for the show as well. They have over 1500 members. Man, talk about loyalty to the Joss. Well, he is the Man. God. Geek Mega.
