On Twitter, when asked what else Dollhouse fans could do to support the show (a question posited by @WhedonTrivia) I suggested that fans of Dollhouse get imprinted with the minds of TV executives and infiltrate FOX in order to give the show a second season. And this is how something like that would most likely go down:
Imagine a network executive team full of rabid Joss Whedon fans. First, Dollhouse would be saved. The fans would cheer. Then, within a season or two, would come a sudden yet inevitable change: the station would be re-branded The JW, and all scripted shows would be written, directed, and/or produced by Joss Whedon. All other time slots would be reruns of Firefly, Buffy, and Angel, and any current (and canceled?) shows starring Whedonverse actors. Movies of the week would all, naturally, be from Joss' resume.
Would his fans then be satisfied? Never! Soon, a faction of extremists would locate dissenters and imprint them with an insatiable need for complex storytelling and character development, ideally in an ensemble cast format with at least one strong female lead. Statues would be erected in Joss' Robot Chicken likeness. The Whedon Dollar would go into circulation: In Joss We Trust. Many would do the Dance of Joy. Daily speech would get all... evolvey.
Joss help us all.

Awesome! JW was a Writer and Story Editor for TV's "Roseanne." I hope there is plenty of room in this fantasy line-up for the antics of DJ, Becky, and Darlene. They should probably get the prime time slots on the JW network, cause that's where they were before. Oh, and don't forget "Parenthood." Hehehee. :)
