EW prescribes 'Dollhouse' (among other shows) for 'Lost' withdrawal.
Dollhouse committed one of the biggest mistakes a new TV show can make in today's TV world: Not getting out of the gate well. Our snap-judgment culture tends to lock a show into a singular perception that it can't quite shake, even if the show itself evolves and improves, as Dollhouse has.
