Whedon sounds fairly confident that the "New Fox" is not like the "Old 
Fox"...  We are now in era of Fox, with apparently an entirely different 
management, resurrecting Family Guy, running multiple seasons of 
American Dad in *the same timeslot* (I prefer it to Family Guy, but I'm 
sure the ratings are smaller), and green lighting a Cleveland spin-off 
and the awesome direct-to-DVD Futurama 'sodes.  Plus King of the Hill 
isn't dead yet...

Dollhouse is apparently going to be fighting back to back with Fringe 
(J. J. Abrams' "I Can't Believe It's Not X-Files") and it does appear 
that Fox may actually have a plan for its Fall sci-fi programming...

I don't think Whedon would put *himself* through another Firefly Maru
