That's news to me, and I hope you're wrong. "Life" and "30 Rock" are the only NBC shows I try to watch live anymore (and I regularly DVR "Kings", but that's about the limit of the time I devote to the peacock lately). "Life" has been pretty interesting recently, and just finished a nice

Word on the 'net is that Fox is ending 'Dollhouse one episode early, with plans to not air episode 13 (which may -- or may not -- be available on DVD). Actress Felicia Day apparently has a role in the 13th episode and was informed it would not be broadcast. She announced the news on Twiiter:
