'Dollhouse': Fridays and 'hot,' 'soulless' stars
Fox looks like it's hoping some girl-after-girl action may help revive Fridays with a new promo for the "Dollhouse"/"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" hour.
OK, a bit crass, but when you watch the commercial, you get the sense that the network is pushing the duo as a fanboy magnet, with Eliza Dushku (Echo) and Summer Glau (Cameron) as the Dames of Deception.
The "Grindhouse"-style '70s-action throwback promo is entertaining, exploitative and energetic, but will it work? "Terminator" has been chugging along nicely -- not spectacular ratings, but hey, it's not canceled. Fox could also be trying to undercut the feeling that "Dollhouse" was scheduled in a ratings dungeon, as some may have thought, though the prevailing feeling is that the night will most likely see a boost initially as Whedonites flood the network.
