"Joss Whedon’s 'Dollhouse' & The TV Audience"
Endlich mal ein halbwegs sauber recherchierter und realistischer Artikel:
It’s difficult to define Joss Whedon’s success. For one, gauging his popularity as a television writer, creator, and producer on ratings alone would render his career as one of the medium’s elite fairly worthless. Critical acclaim was always present, awards never were. Fan devotion always existed - but devotion alone could not save his shows from being tossed around from network to network, ultimately meeting their demise when show renewals were announced. For Whedon, something on television hasn’t quite clicked into place. Despite offering up some of the most intelligent, arch-driven story-lines, placed within painstakingly witty, sarcastic scripts, it’s almost as though the mass audience are allergic to his productions. On the verge of his latest effort on the small screen, Dollhouse, Whedon has a lot riding on the show’s run - including his accreditation as a creative mastermind.
