Fascinating behind-the-curtains read.

Pete 1.0 was fired and replaced by Pete 2.0.  Pete 2.0 liked what he saw in DOLLHOUSE but didn’t like what he saw in the C3 ratings.  Whedon had provided much better product, but the ratings were horrible.  The DOLLHOUSE brand was tarnished.  Pete 2.0 wanted to keep working with Whedon.  So they invited him to pitch season 2.  They loved the pitch.  So the problem arose.  How can they justify renewing a show nobody was watching and the media had labeled a failure?
