Will Fox destroy Joss Whedon's Dollhouse?

Settled as Yes

I think I may cry. They've set it to premiere on FRIDAY the 13th, behind Terminator -- another show with miserable ratings. Why does FOX hate Joss?? And WHY did Joss think it was a good idea to do another show with them?!
http://defamer.com/5078871/joss-whedons-dollhouse-consigned-to-friday-death-slot-that-doomed-firefly

Background:

Joss Whedon gained fame and a loyal following for his witty dialogue and interesting characters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly.Fans of Firefly curse Fox for never giving the show a chance. Now despite vowing never to return to TV, Joss has agreed to a new show, Dollhouse, on Fox starring Eliza Dushku (Faith on Buffy) to premiere this next Spring.Will Fox give this one a chance or will they pull the rug out again? Already, we are being told about production halting and Joss rewriting the entire first episode...

This market is asking if one of these three things will happen:
1) Show will premiere in a Friday night slot
2) Premiere episode will not be actual recorded pilot
3) Show will be cancelled before first 7 episodes have been aired

Firefly's sad story
Dollhouse background


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

If any of these things happen, the question is settled as YES. Only if none of them happen is it a NO.

I bet no, not because I trust Fox but because I trust Jopss Whedon. He learned from his Firefly experience and although the Serenity movie did little to give him added negotiating clout, his Cloverfield did well enough that it probably did. So I'm betting that Mr. Whedon worked out a deal that will protect his new project from these kinds of obstacles.

Hmmmm, it depends... If the show is good, the Fox will cancel it! If it sucks, it'll stay on Fox for years!
