Season 2 of 'Dollhouse' Pushed Back One Week

Announcements, announcements, annouuuuncements!

Fox announced yesterday evening that they have moved the second season premiere of Joss Whedon's brilliant action drama Dollhouse back one week. The first episode of the sophomore season will now premiere Friday September 25 at 9:00pm. Scheduling with the Stars has been updated accordingly.

The network, which announced the change via its Twitter account, gave no explanation for the change. I can only guess that they are trying to extend their premiere schedule or that there was a legitimate marketing or production schedule-related reason for moving the Dollhouse premiere back a week.

I would like to encourage all Joss/Dollhouse fans to remain calm and keep reactions PG. All I can say is that this is no reason for panic or a signal to go on the defensive. Let's give Fox a chance before we start jumping down its throat at every little thing. Fox has given us the gift of a second season. I think we owe them the benefit of the doubt at least. Thank you.

In Whedonverse related news, James Marsters stars as Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. in a new History Channel movie called Moonshot, which chronicles the Apollo 11 moon landing in honor of the 40th anniversary of the mission. Moonshot premieres Monday July 20 at 9pm. Click here to watch a clip from the film.

Oh, and in completely unrelated news, Carrie Underwood's people have announced her third as-yet-untitled studio album will drop November 3, 2009 with a single to be released later this summer. Yaaaaay three months of one song on the radio. Awesooooome. [Bitter face]
