I don’t want to be an echo-blog but this was just to good to pass up.  The good news, Joss Whedon is coming back to TV!  The bad news, it’s on FOX.  Whatever.  He is coming back.  I’m so excited.  The show is picked up for 7 episodes and will star Eliza Dushku.  Joss also got Tim Minear (worked with Joss on Firefly) to work with him on the the new show.  The show is called Dollhouse and likely won’t air until 2008 some time.  You can check out more details and a short interview with Joss over on eonline.  Short synopsis of the show:

The series, according to FOX, is about “Echo (Eliza Dushku), a young woman who is literally everybody’s fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments.  The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the ‘Dollhouse’, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else.  The show revolves around the childlike Echo’s burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.”
