but...and you knew there would be, it's on Fox with a 7 episode commitment. Which most likely means that it'll suffer the same fate as firefly; poorly advertised and be given an inconsistent timeslot. On the plus side, the concept sounds very cool, and with Joss you know it's in good hands. Oh, and did I mention Eliza Dushku is the lead?
The drama (...) stars Dushku as Echo, a member of a group of men and women who are imprinted with different personalities for different assignments. In between tasks they are mind-wiped, living like children in Dollhouse, a futuristic dorm/lab. They have no memories of their previous lives, until Echo begins to try to find out who she was.

Knowing Joss' literary pedigree, I was hoping the title was an allusion to the Henrik Ibsen play, especially considering Whedon's predilection towards exploring feminist themes. I think it would be interesting to see Joss do something outside of the scifi-fantasy genre, but having him back on TV, even if it's not long lived, will be great.
