Edit for: How many shows does Mr. Whedon have to air on Fox to realize that they aren't going to give his shows the time they need to get rolling? Fifty?

Tim Minear, who also worked on Angel, was involved in Wonderfalls, but that was not a Joss show.
I think the reason Dollhouse went to FOX initially was because of Eliza Dushku, who had a contract in place with them for a show. IMO, she is the weakest part of Dollhouse - the rest of the cast are incredible, but she and Joss hatched the idea, so it went to FOX, good or bad.
The season finale aired on Friday, and was a bit anti-climatic. Could definitely tell it was penned by Minear and not Whedon. I would certainly like to see the show next season - lot of things set up well for a continuing story, with Echo choosing to go back and Ballard choosing to go in the way he did. Who knows what will happen with it though. Network TV is a tough breeding ground and good shows often don't last.
