Was this Whedon's best?

I say yes!!!

What do you think?

I love Buffy. It truly does represent TV at it's best. However, over the course of the series many episodes and whole seasons really weren't that great in retrospect. I still think The Body is the single greatest episode of TV I have seen ever. Conceptually, Buffy was pretty basic. It shined due to excellent character development and had the benefit of 7 seasons to grow. Dollhouse was much more original conceptually, and covered so much more ground in a much shorter time frame with the same great writing and character development.

Angel was good. I just never could completely get into the series. It had a couple great seasons and a couple poor seasons IMHO. It just seemed all over the place to me conceptually. Again, there was the same great writing and characters, but a lot of the time the execution fell flat. So again, I would say Dollhouse managed to cover much more ground in less time and had a drastically more complete story. Where did Angel really leave us?

Firefly could have and should have been Whedon's masterpiece. Most of us know the story of why it's not. The groundwork was there for this to be the best action scifi show ever. it simply didn't last long enough to get there. So again, Dollhouse represents a much more complete story with equally great writing.

I haven't seen any of the Avengers, Agents of Shield stuff so can't compare it.

To me Dollhouse represents the pinnacle of what TV can be. It had a bold and original concept with great writing and character development and a fully realized story. I realize it had it's share of flaws, but I think as a complete package, it represented the best of what Whedon has done.
