Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation.This week, I talked to Joss Whedon about his "Man on the Street" episode of FOX's Dollhouse, why Dollhouse seems to lack the funny, and whether he would be leaving television for good.
I offered an advance review of ABC's comedy series Better Off Ted, a sneak peak at the full third season premiere episode of Showtime's The Tudors, and a Talk Back for the premiere episode of NBC's Kings.
I shared news about Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman, Catherine Tate, and John Simm reportedly reprising their roles on David Tennant's final episode of Doctor Who, Heather Locklear turning down a role on the new Melrose Place, and CBS renewing The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men for multiple seasons, Sci Fi morphing into Syfy (and the true story behind the new name), David Chase developing a new mini-series for HBO, and Henry Rollins joining the cast of FX's Sons of Anarchy, among other things.
And I also discussed the latest episodes of ABC's Lost, NBC's 30 Rock, FX's Damages, BBC America's Last Restaurant Standing, and HBO's Big Love.
Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items...

- You know a show is going to be good when it manages to equally upset the liberal communists (who think the show pushes a Christian agenda) and the religious nutjobs (who think the show pushes a gay agenda). Scooter endorses Kings if only because they cast Mr. Boston in the lead role. (Scooter McGavin's 9th Green)

- Sara celebrated the fact that Chuck was back to wearing ascots on the latest episode of Gossip Girl. (TiFaux)
