Dollhouse is the weaker of the two, but this is Joss Wheadon. I am glad he is getting the chance that they never gave FireFly. The series did start out slow, but built up considerably over the season. There were creative differences with Joss and the suits, which made for rewrites and a confusing direction. The last two episodes really made a solid storyline that I am hoping to see go forward.
Chuck had a wonderful season finale. The last few shows really change a lot of dynamics. Timming would be perfect to Jettison the elements that were becomming drab and avoid the "Not this again"
Both budgets were cut to ensure a next season. This could be a good thing, if you have read The Trouble with Tribbles, by David Gerrold. You get a really good feel for what writers go through. With the belt tightening on sets and extra's ands stunts, you have to focus on the writing and dialog. Both of these shows excel in this.
