He's struck out with Firefly and Dollhouse already (neither of which were anything to be missed IMO). He MIGHT get another chance since neither was a complete flop and he still seems to have a notable amount of devoted fans, but if he does, it will propably be his one last go at it.

Watched Firefly again this week. Probably one of the top 20 if not ten best in my enjoyment.
Do you know why it failed? I will give you a hint, and it is the reason why Joss will not work with TV again (After Dollhouse).
Fox destroyed it. The show didn't suck. It was layered with drama and comedy. Basically it was some of the best entertainment I have watch, but fox NEVER gave it an honest run. It was discontinued because in it's 13 episode run (the last episode #14 did not air) it rarely was shown on the same day. In a world where ratings rule this is a killer. Now, in this thread, who wishes Firefly was back over lost?
With Dollhouse it was the same thing but even more. Joss's idea of dollhouse was not so tame and fluffy, but the network liked the concept. They liked it so much that they changed it to the crap that you saw. He vowed never to work with fox cable again and if he has a show it will be on an internet channel.
Joss's writing is unique, well thought out and highly entertaining. Anyone see Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog? Ha ha ha... Sorry, hehehehe. It was good stuff. Anyway, if he sucks why is he doing the billion dollar picture "the Avengers" ($ amount my prediction world wide)? Oh ya, Joss is
doing it.
