Fox has temporarily halted production on Joss Whedon’s upcoming series “Dollhouse,” and sources tell TelevisionWeek, that some network executives are concerned about the creative direction of the series. Officially, Fox says the break is an opportunity for Whedon, who is both writing and directing episodes of the series, to make the show better, but sources say there are questions about whether its characters are likable and whether the plot is too hard to follow, according to TVWeek. The program will resume filming on Sept. 25, the network says.

You’ve got to be kidding me!!!! Does Fox not see that they’re doing the same thing again?!?!?!?!?
well…Fringe already premiered, and it seems like it’s going to be around for a while so they probably want to revamp it a bit to make sure it has an audience separate or inclusive of Fringe. it’s just like when 3 movies come out the same season dealing with the same/similar topics. i say good for halting production if it makes it better. no need to start out and then get cancelled later (which it will anyway).
