It’s here! It’s finally here. I thought I wouldn’t be patient enough for it’s arrival, but Dollhouse is finally premiering tonight at 9pm on Fox. Woohoo! Terminator: TSCC is going to be opening for it at 8pm tonight, and then Eliza Dushku will take over the small screen once again. Are any of you going to tune in? Let’s compare thought!

As you all know, Saki and I are big Joss Whedon fans. If you are like us, then you just can’t wait till Dollhouse hits the air this fall. It seems like we will not have to wait that long for our next Joss hit. He is directing a series for the web called “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”. It stars a few people from the Joss universe (Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day). It also stars Neil Patrick Harris as the lead character: Dr. Horrible.

I’m not really sure what the show is about other than it being a musical- of course with a name like that, how could it be anything else? I believe it hits sometime this summer. You can get more info over at the “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” blog. While you’re at it, check out Felicia Day’s web series “The Guild”. It’s a good time. You can check out a trailer after the jump.

And so, it is here! The revised trailer for Dollhouse, Joss Whedon’s upcoming television show (located after the jump). Don’t know who Joss Whedon is? I’m sure you do, you just didn’t realize he’s the man responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS), Angel and Firely!! I am extremely excited to hear that he is returning to the small screen, and am reluctantly celebrating the news as past experience with his shows= great shows getting canceled by stoopid television networks.

So what’s Dollhouse going to be about? Whedon explains:

“Dollhouse is a suspense drama about a girl who can have any personality except her own.” So it’s part Alias and part Quantum Leap, “because Echo is literally changing who she is,” he continues. “She gets into people’s lives a little bit.”

I’m interested to see how the plot unfolds. So far, according to dollverse.com, they have already planned 13 episodes and hope to continue strong to 22 episodes for a full season. The season, which is to begin January 2009, will also have longer episodes than normal. If you’re a “regular” non-tivo/dvr watcher, you know how annoying it is to waste 18 minutes worth of an hour on commercials. It seems that FOX plans on expanding to 50 minutes (therefore, 10 minutes of commercials) instead of the normal 42 minutes. This is great minutes, I suppose if FOX end up canning it, at least I’ll get 8 more minutes worth of goodness per episode.

Finally, the additional excitement for the show comes from the people they have cast so far. Eliza Dushku (Faith from BtVS) will play the role of Echo, one of the “dolls”, and Helo from Battlestar Galactica (Tahmoh Penikett) is going to be the obsessed FBI agent who’s trying to uncover this organization!! I’m glad Helo’s got a job lined up after this year’s BSG season finale. *cries* Also, though not in the trailer Amy Acker (aka Winifred Burkle from Angel) is also said to be in the show. I know for sure that Dushku and Penikett are going to be series regulars. Yay for them. If you want to follow the progress, you can subscribe to Dollverse for all the Dollhouse news.
