Dollhouse - Season 1 (DVD, 2009, 4-Disc Set)

When I first watched this show on tv I just didn't know what to expect.
Being a longtime fan of Eliza Dushku I'd seen her previous work
in movies along with her earlier tv series Tru Calling. So I tuned
into DH during the first season and I was mildly surprised and impressed.
Dollhouse combines science fiction and drama into a well written
and solidly acted show about a secretive residence where young male
and female "dolls" are programmed to suit the fantasies and wishes
of select high paying clients. The dolls are flesh and blood humans
with one exception, they have a different type of brain that can be
fine tuned to have the personality and mannerisms of any type of
person whom the client demands. Each doll is therefore fine tuned
and programmed for a period of 24 hours for the client and then
after he is satisfied he then returns the doll to the dollhouse
where they are deprogrammed back to their previous state of mind.
Sometimes difficulties occur where for example Echo played by the
lovely and multi-talented Eliza Dushku may suffer a relapse of
her previous personality's memories which has caused her to be
confused and sometimes both agitated and even violent. This show
is not for everyone and those loyal fans of creator Joss Whedon
will enjoy the storylines along with fans of Ms. Dushku like myself!
If I sound somewhat biased then so be it as I've been a fan of
this actress for the last 6 years when I used to watch Tru Calling
which like Dollhouse also aired on the Fox network. I do recommend
the dvd set if you haven't seen any of the first season as well as
to those fans who did catch it and are currently tuned into the
second season. This set includes both the aired pilot as well as
the unaired original pilot which I consider superior to the one
that aired and yet the network chose the other version because
Fox thought it was simpler for the viewers to understand. The set
also has the entire first season's episodes, some are well done
and others not so good and a bit confusing. Nevertheless I bought
this dvd set brand new and unopened for less than $26 which is
a real steal consider that the set retails for $39.99 in stores.
Overall Dollhouse is worth owning if you're either a fan of
Eliza Dushku or Joss Whedon or both. Or you are just curious to
watch this series in it's first season's entirety.

I was really excited to see the two unaired episodes: the original pilot and Epitaph One. The shipping was fast and the set arrived without any damage.

It was wrapped in it's packaging, brand new just as it said. Got it in good time with no damage. It was a good purchase.

Dollhouse - Season 1 (DVD, 2009, 4-Disc Set)
It was worth the purchase just for the unaired episodes, not as great as Buffy/ Angel, but similar to Firefly

Awesome series! I love it! Would you pay to have a doll? Or would you rather be a doll? Eliza Dushku plays the main character in this series. All the characters are awesome and the plot always keeps you guessing. I would recommend this to anyone!

The show is pretty good. It really makes you think and puts you into suspense the whole time. You never know what's going to happen, and that's what really drew me to this show. I like anything spontaneous. I actually started to watch Season 2 now, and the first few episodes, I had no idea what was going on. That's why I bought Season 1 was to caught up.

The price was very reasonable. Also, the shipping was very fast! The DVD came sealed, as promised, and my boyfriend and I watched the entire season in one day! It was awesome! Very good buyer. A++++

Joss Whedon has done it again! He directed 'Angel' and 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. These two series I also highly recommend. The Dollhouse is about subjects that volunteer for a project where their minds are wiped clean and they have new personalities and skills implanted in their brains and sent out on missions to help others. Good story lines and character development. Casting was well done and the characters work. Highly recommended series.

When I first heard about the premise of this show, people whose personalities are erased between engagements and who have no memories of those engagements, I thought "Wow, that doesn't sound like they could sustain a show with that!" Boy, was I wrong. I should have known that the creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer would be able to pull off an unlikely premise. Eliza Dushku (She played the daughter in True Lies among other things.) is a little weak when it comes to the vulnerable parts, but is very good when the role calls for the tough crusader fighting for the innocent and weak. The supporting cast is consistently good, with some really shining and the writing is good also. Included in the package are two un-aired episodes, the first pilot and a post season episode set 10 years in the future. There are also several of the usual behind the scenes "The creator of the show is awesome and everyone I work with is great" shows and the ubiquitous deleted scenes. If you like your action adventure a little smarter than usual, this is the show for you. (And there is plenty of eye candy for both the guys and the girls.)

Great DVD would tell anyone to buy this great dvd season you will not be disapointed the best tv series out right know

This show is boring and lame. The characters get their memories erased at the end of every episode, so there's no character development.
I love Eliza Dushku and I love Joss Whedon's previous TV works but this show sucks. Eliza Dushku performance is underwhelming she's really wasting her energy on this crap of a show.
This show should be cancelled but words are it's getting its second season, should be called Dull-house instead.
Also, you only get 13 episodes of this crummy show, and yet Fox is charging the price of a full season!
If you are so dying to watch this show I recommend that you buy it at the lowest price you can find.

Dollhouse season 1 is about an active named Echo, who can be imprinted with any personality. There are 12 episodes that aired in the first season. The dvd contains the unaired pilot episode and the unaired finale episode called Epitaph One. All the episodes were great, especially the last half of the season. I have introduced this show to 5 people and all them like the plot and premise. I plan to keep telling people about this awesome show, so that it will continue to be renewed.

My husband liked to watch the series and really loved it, i bought season 1 because he missed so much of that series- he was thrilled. SO PROVOCATIVE, A SEXY, SUSPENSEFUL THRILLER.
