You don't have to throw out your television!

Joss Whedon is back. The man who brought us Buffy the Vampire Slayer - the greatest television show in the history of the medium - is returning to TV with a new show called Dollhouse, scheduled for next year. Best of all, it will star Eliza Dushku, who played Faith, the rogue Slayer, on Buffy (although some of you might remember her as Missy, the rogue cheerleader in Bring It On; if you're a teenage boy you may know her from a three-minute period in your nighttime routine, right before you drift off to sleep).

I won't pitch the show to you in any great detail, as I find Whedon shows need to be experienced, rather than high-concepted (Buffy was about so much more than slaying the freak-of-the-week, and Firefly was hardly just a western). But for those of us who have been waiting for a couple of years now, it doesn't really matter what the show is about: Joss Whedon is back doing television. Fire up your TiVos, folks.
