QUICK TAKES - Nov. 12, 2009

Well, at least this time Joss Whedon fans can’t retaliate against Fox.

“Dollhouse” has been canceled. Fans can take heart in the fact that the network really did give the low-rated series, starring Eliza Dushku, a chance. All 13 episodes will air, and the advance notice has given Whedon a chance to give the series a satisfying ending, according to a Fox spokesperson. The remaining episodes of “Dollhouse” will air this way: Two episodes will air each night on Dec. 4, Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 from 8 to 10 p.m. The last three episodes will air Jan. 8, Jan. 15 and Jan. 22 at 9 p.m.

In a statement posted on whedonesque.com, Whedon wrote: “For now there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear.”
