Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" is no more, as the sci-fi drama has been canceled by Fox today. "Dollhouse" is currently in its second season, and Whedon says the show will bow out with a proper finale.

"Dollhouse" has had a rough life since it premiered, holding onto a cult audience but never maintaining mainstream viewers. The show was picked up by Fox in May despite low ratings.

The cancellation, in some ways, should come as no surprise. Fox banished the creative drama to the dead zone of Friday nights, which is often the kiss of death for television shows. Recently, Fox made the similar move with "Prison Break," a show that was canceled months ago as well.

"Dollhouse" starred Eliza Dushku, who headlined another short-lived Fox drama called "Tru Calling."

i think there are certain ppl who really dont like this show and are holding on to the one tiny chance that it COULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, but are upset that it's not. Unless it comes straight from FOX, Joss, or Eliza, i dont believe it.

Sadly, it's confirmed. Straight from Joss:

I don't have a lot to say. I'm extremely proud of the people I've worked with: my star, my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you'll agree in the coming months. I'm grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.

I'm off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking. Possibly that relaxation thing I've read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you'll know what my next project is. But for now there's a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear.

Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again. -j.

Hmm. Not shocked to be honest. But still, Eliza has NO luck! Bring back Tru Calling!!
