Dollhouse Opens to Mediocre Numbers

Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) had one of the most anticipated new shows when Dollhouse was announced last year. But the news since then has only gotten bleaker for the ambitious show. First it slated for a midseason premiere -- instead of opening at the beginning of the season -- and then news came that Fox was putting it on Friday night.

The premiere, which was this past Friday, drew 4.7 million viewers. For a Friday show, that isn't horrible -- but considering most shows fall from their premieres it's not exactly the best news. The possibly cancelled Lipstick Jungle was averages 3+ million on Friday night.

The Week in Review

A look at what I've been watching, listening to and enjoying over the past 7 days. Share what you've been doing in the comments section or if there are things that I missed and shouldn't have..

TV
The Grammys were kind of ho-hum and with Gossip Girl a repeat this week some of the joy from television was missing. The Big Bang Theory had a hilarious outing with Christine Baranski guesting as Leonard's therapist mother. In series premiere news, Dollhouse started on Friday and the show didn't necessarily leave me wanting more. Perhaps one more episode to give it a second chance.

Film
Friday the 13th was just alright (despite cleaning up at the box office).

Music
While I plan to check out some of the winners from the Grammy Awards, my week was a little crazy. Coming to Terms by Carolina Liar is an album that has been flying under the radar, despite the band's music appearing in television shows and films throughout the last year. Finally listening to it this week makes me understand why it's keeps chugging along. Check out their myspace page to sample their music.
