Yep, you heard me right. Today, Joss Whedon returns to his own TV set to direct the pilot for his latest upcoming TV effort, Dollhouse, starring Eliza Dushku.

This gets me excited to know that Joss has returned to his forte of storytelling. Sure, Serenity was awesome, and ok, the Buffy Season 8 comics have been pretty good. But I think everyone reading this knows that Joss’ best work is seen on the small screen. So it is great to know that he is back, telling the stories that he loves.

Welcome back to television, Joss. We’ve all missed you.

UPDATE: Dollhouse even has its own IMDB page [1] here.
