I remember watching "The Body", the Season 5 episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," in which Buffy's mother dies, and thinking that it was one of the best hours of television I'd ever seen. I still feel that way.

So as far as I'm concerned Joss Whedon doesn't have to do anything else. Not many people get to make even one great piece of art.

I guess it's a good thing that Whedon isn't as easy to satisfy as I am. His new show "Dollhouse" premieres tonight on Fox at 9.

It stars a "Buffy" actress Eliza Dushku, who played bad slayer Faith. In "Dollhouse" she's Echo, a woman who lives in a high-tech encampment, in the employ of a secret company that provides dolls or "actives" for wealthy clients. The dolls perform various jobs for the clients; in the first episode "Ghost", Echo provides one client with the perfect birthday weekend, and for another, helps him with his daughter's kidnapping.
