Title: Dollhouse is safe...ish

Despite disappointing ratings, Fox want you to know that they really will show all of the episodes of Dollhouse's first season. Even though there may be some pre-emption happening at some point.

Fansite Dollverse has gotten confirmation from Fox that the remaining six episodes of Joss Whedon's mindwipe drama will air on April 3rd, 10th, 24th, and May 1st, 8th and 15th, with the show being pre-empted on April 17th by the return of Prison Break. But the site has also been tipped off that the episode on May 15th is also likely to be pre-empted by the series finale of Prison Break, which leads us to wonder when "Epitaph One," Dollhouse's season (and possibly series, given the ratings) finale will air. It can't air the next week, because its timeslot has been filled by the just announced series premiere of medical drama Mental, after all.

However, we're not convinced that any pre-emption will even be happening; yes, Prison Break is getting a two-hour wrap-up episode, but that doesn't seem to be part of the currently scheduled block of episodes, which may already include a couple of episodes beyond the four originally scheduled. Fans may like to complain about Fox messing around with their favorite shows - and with good reason - but this may be a case of pre-emptive worry for no good reason.

All episodes of Dollhouse to air [Dollverse]

Another medical drama , eh ?

Why not be unique and develop a new cop show ?

Lord knows there aren't enough of them .

People say they want unique and different, but they don't. We are the exceptions, but for the most part, people want what they are familiar with. Pretty much the same old crap.

McDonalds sells billions of not new and unique, but the same old crap.

I swear that if one ate a Five Guys (http://fiveguys.com/home.aspx) burger and fries, he would never go back to McD's for lunch or supper again.
Fresh ground beef as well as homestyle fries cooked in peanut oil.
Some of the best hotdogs I've eaten, too.

They give you a LOT of fries, even for a regular (which is the smallest you can get).

I still eat at McD's but I'll get the nuggets or fish or breakfast. I occasionally get a cheeseburger, but I prefer Wendy's and BK. A broiled burger is the way it was meant to be eaten. (No, Wendy's is not broiled, but I like their fries better than BK. BK onion rings otoh... I also like DQ and Sonic.)

They have the BEST sweet tea north of Mississippi!  And only $1!  Needless to say, I stop there each afternoon before I get lunch.  Much cheaper than paying $1.79 anywhere else!

Never heard of them but it looks like there are two right across the river (in Indiana) and a new one coming to The Ville.  As well as a new one opening in Lexington.  Looks kinda like Steak-N-Shake.

Food is one of my favorite things to eat.

(on a side note: The only way I'd improve upon Five Guys' burgers would be to flame-broil them on an open grill)
