Watching this on Netflix right now.

Joss Whedon is my hero.

I love Bones. I used to watch this show on TV and now I am watching all the episodes I have missed so far starting from season 1

^Bones is a great show. I now look forward more to this coming back than House.

How far through are you? I was disappointed with the first few episodes. It was an interesting premise but just seemed a little bland to me, with not enough going on. It seemed like a unnecessary, rehashed Dark Angel.

However a friend of mine, who is also a big Whedon fan, said she didn't like it at first either but then it started to get really good. Maybe I gave up too soon?

Right now I'm at the end of season 2 (the final season), with three episodes to go. I can definitely understand the part about not being hooked into it by the first few shows. That seems to be a common trend with all of Whedon's series. With this one, and with Firefly, I was completely bored by the first episode. But if you keep watching it, you'll finally get your reward about 2-4 episodes in and then it just gets better from there. Maybe that's why all of his shows flopped. Not enough people following them after the first episode. Of course I would suggest giving it another try!

I will say that this series, while still great, is probably my least favorite of all his big television runs. For me it would probably go Buffy>Firefly>Angel>Dollhouse.

I used to hate Buffy but the friend I mentioned once forced me to watch it, in MY house, which didn't go down too well to say the least. But I did however, get into it from there. I haven't seen all of Angel but I do like that too. Firefly was a gem of a show and could have really been his best work had it been allowed to grow. Whether it would have or not is purely speculative, but the potential was there.

I probably will give Dollhouse another go. Especially if theres only two seasons of it.

After seeing the first three or four, I'm definitely on board. Not what I expected from the title, which is a good thing. Very unique storyline. ANY Trailer Park Boys fan should check it out...

I think it's awesome how they play more than one role, lots of who's who and costumes, and all sorts of surprises.

Yeah, at first, it was okay, but after a while it just started to pick up steam. I don't agree about the rest of his series being like that though. The great thing about Joss' shows is that the characters connect with you right off the bat, and Dollhouse didn't have as immediately likable characters as his other shows.

Even with only one season, it was still his best show. Buffy is wonderful, but Firefly was almost perfect.

Right now I'm watching the 3rd season of Weeds. Not as good as the first two but still pretty dag.
