Culture Buzz The Terminator franchise is for sale (according to Defamer)! On account of how bad that most recent Terminator sucked and disappointed us all (personal speculation)! Fortunately, Joss Whedon has jumped in with an offer that they cannot refuse. (Whedonesque, Via Amanda, of all people.)

“Serenity [HD DVD]” from Joss Whedon is surging on Amazon.
Fox is trying something a little new with a Grindhouse-inspired promo for their Friday-night lineup of The Sarah Connor Chronicles followed by Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. Not clear whether this'll help overcome the lame Friday-night billing that both these shows got saddled with, but it's a surprisingly creative spot, and it definitely can't hurt in drumming up some of the cult following that these sci-fi extravaganzas will need to survive.
The long-lost Buffy The Vampire Slayer animated spinoff has “leaked” onto YouTube, fueling rumors of a possible return. Originally meant as a Saturday morning cartoon for kids, the series never made it to air. To be fair, it must be hard to configure children’s programming when there are so many brilliant options to choose from.
Buffy creator Joss Whedon adapted his show for Fox as a Saturday morning cartoon in 2001, but the series was never made. Now the four-minute pilot has been leaked. All the original cast is there, except for Sarah Michelle Gellar herself, who was replaced by Giselle Loren (who voiced Buffy in two video games). How about a remake with Felicia Day?
Culture Buzz The first trailer from Joss Whedon’s web-only super-villain musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog has officially landed. Nerds love: musicals, the internet, and Buffy. Which is why Joss Whedon is a total genius for coming up with this concept. Premieres online in 3 parts: July 15, 17, and 19 (and only available for free until the 20th).
TV Buzz The buzz surrounding Joss Whedon’s new sci-fi series Dollhouse is building, as fansites pop up and script pages are leaked. This show doesn’t even exist yet, but rabid fans are already collecting every single tiny minute remnant of news and speculation surrounding it. Here’s my attempt at gathering the pieces.
