Tvguide.com Dollhouse"Dollhouse" Tv Series featured in TV Guide’s preview of 2009 winter TV ShowsMonday 5 January 2009, by Webmaster Dollhouse (Fox) TVGuide.com Editors’ Pick Premieres: Feb. 13, 9 pm/ET Who’s on it: Eliza Dushku, Olivia Williams, Tahmoh Penikett What it’s about: "Who do you want me to be?" is the creepy tagline for this Joss Whedon creation. Echo (Dushku) is an "active," a blank canvas upon which clients assign identities, which are then wiped clean when the engagement is over. Echo lives with other actives in a lab run by the mysterious, madam-like Adelle (Williams). Things go awry when Echo starts to remember her life before it was erased as FBI Agent Paul Ballard (Penikett) closes in on the Dollhouse’s illegal operation. Why it’s on our Watch List: The latest, reshot pilot still reveals some flaws — the biggest problem with Dollhouse may be what goes on inside the Dollhouse — but the missions, er, engagements are kinda cool, as Echo immerses herself in each new personality. We’re going to give Team Whedon-Dushku some latitude on this one. |
