Well, I liked Dollhouse -- but I agree TV in general is good at cancelling good shows if they don't catch on right away. Would you believe that All in the Family didn't get good ratings until halfway through it's second season? Now it's an American classic, and Archie's chair is in the Smithsonian. Nowdays? It probably would have been cancelled before its fourth show.

Another line from that classic of modern film, Aliens:

Apone: All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!

and...

Hudson: Come on! Come on! Come and get it, baby! Come on! I don't got all day! Come on! Come on! Come on you bastard! Come on, you too! Oh, you want some of this? Fuck you!

The one, the only quote needed for any situation.

The way political correctness has run amok, All In the Family wouldn't have even made it past the pilot.

It probably wouldn't make it that far...
