Best. News. Ever.

Oh, Eric, you just made my motherfucking day. Week. Month. Life.

Joss Whedon, creator of greatest show ever on television, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, right up there Firefly and the very good Angel, is returning to television with a new series called Dollhouse, starring Eliza Dushku! Who played Faith on Buffy! And also on Angel! And is awesome! Here's the premise:
Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] 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.

You can read more here. FOX already picked it up for seven episodes. So let's get that strike straightened out so Joss can get writing, eh?
