Show Summary

  • Ended
They can be anyone you want.''''The Dollhouse is a very secret, and very illegal, place where wishes come true. Clients with the right connections and enough money can hire "Actives", people who have been programmed to perfectly fulfill the needs, and desires of their clients. The Actives are people who have chosen, for their own reasons, to surrender their bodies and minds for a five-year stay in the Dollhouse. Now they can be imprinted with any personality, skill, or even muscle memory. They can be the perfect companion, lover, spy, assassin; and when the job is done they forget everything.''''But something is wrong with the Active called "Echo". No longer just a blank slate waiting for her next assignment, Echo is remembering flashes of the lives that she has lived and the games she has played, and she is starting to wonder just who she really is...''''Dollhouse is a production of 20th Century Fox Television, Joss Whedon's "Mutant Enemy", and Eliza Dushku's "Boston Diva Productions".moreless

  • QUICK QUESTION: Which Unjustly Canceled Shows Are You STILL Heartbroken Over?

    They say time heals all wounds, but first of all, who are "they"? Second of all, "they" are dunces, because we all know that time does not heal all wounds. At least not when it comes to TV series we… more

    Dollhouse is yet another one of Joss Whedon's great creations. Along with Eliza Dushku he makes this show fantastic. Why on earth was it cancelled? I wanted to see more of Echo, and Topher. Topher is just amazing, I really liked him. Please Joss, start a new show fast!

  • Overall, a really great show, except for a couple of episodes.

    8.5
    "Great"
    I really love everything Joss Whedon touches so i was really excited about Dollhouse. I would have to say that overall, it didn't disappoint except for a couple of episodes("stage fright" and "haunted"-what was up with the horses?). It seems like Joss always has a couple of bad episodes per season (like the god awful Dawn dating a vampire episode in Buffy). But when he makes a great episode, man does he ever succeed (see "once more with feelings" from Buffy" or anything from "Firefly").

    This time around, i really loved the episodes "needs" and "omega". What a joy to have Alan Tudyk join the Whedon universe once again. Like always with Whedon, you really get attached to all the characters, he has a knack for writing really good characters, one of his strongest points. That show has a lot of potential for going a long way, hopefully, we'll get to see more than one season of what could become a really great show.moreless

  • My Favorite (I Mean That)

    This is my all time favorite science fiction show, PERIOD. I like it better than "Star Trek" (all versions combined). No bad episodes. It was INCREDIBLE. (I use caps for EMPHASIS.)

  • My patience has been rewarded. This show just gets better and better!

    As I has said in a previous review..."Give it time!". This show has taken off in a big way. I am hooked like "LOST HOOKED". This show is smart, captivating and creative. "Echoes" is my fave episode so far, and since then, I am enjoying each new episode more and more as my intrigue grows and grows. I'm glad the show started off slow, because it gave the audience a chance to acquaint themselves with the characters. So far it seems everyone has good intentions, and the conflict comes from their idea of what is right and wrong, a theme Joss Whedon has frequently used. I am now impatiently waiting weekly for another dose of my new TV addiction. Way to go Joss!moreless

  • this is a story about a woman who can take on any personality but her owns.

    8.5
    "Great"
    the story is mostly center on echo(eliza dushku)whos kinda ended up in a bad place. i dont want to give to much away but this woman gets into some trouble.her only way out is to join this group called dollhouse.
    once she joins this group she'll be safe and have money for almost the rest of her life but there a price.she will lose 5 years of her life working for the dollhouse and that theyll will get rid of her own personality.once her personality is gone people will pay the dollhouse for echo and other dolls services which can range from killing someone,being a perfect date,a mother,a son (etc).
    as the story goes on echo is basically a doll who has no emotions,no personality,she has no will of her own and all the dolls are kinda stupied. the difference with echo is that shes not like all the other dolls when she gets a personality put in her.and then the dollhouse take her memory away of that personality and make her a dumb doll again.echo somehow still remembers little parts when she became someone else.
    i like the story simply b/c its so intersting to see this girl go on different missions and take on different personalities. some fans dont like how eliza portays echo but i like eliza acting and thought nothing was wrong with it.i think some fans focus to much on her acting than the story. theres also some good fights on the show with eliza.eliza has really made an effort to do all her stunts and she did a good job with them in this series.
    this show only lasted 2 seasons which i hate.i could have seen this show going on for at least 4 seasons but we all kow how fox is with scifi shows. theres not that many issues with the show.i like the plot of the show and i even loves the stand alones eps.i give it a 8.5 b/c its a great show but i it alot of potential.my advice is to watch it.it is a good show.i say watch this show it is good.moreless
