Nobody tells me anything

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is heading back to TV, along with his Buffy co-star Eliza Dushku, with Dollhouse, an SF series that Fox has given a seven-episode order, Variety reported.

Dollhouse follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories, depending on their mission.

After each assignment—which can be physical, romantic or even illegal—the characters have their memories wiped clean and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the dollhouse). The show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness.

Isn't that "Joe 90" but with a better looking lead character?

That sounds like it's a few years too late.

I thought Whedon swore off Fox after they killed Firefly?

cangetmad told me about this the other day. The concept has been niggling at me as I'm sure I've heard something like it before. So far I've gone through Bladerunner and Robert Rankin's Armageddon 2.

Help!!

Oh, it's by no means original. It's not dissimilar to, say, Kabuki. Or Joe 90. Or The Filth.

Ah, it was good old Gerry Anderson. Thank you :)
