Well, to be fair, the show didn't give viewers a lot of reason to love it for a good long time. 6 episodes of "assignment of the week" episodic crap was not the way to get a lot of viewers interested and keeping watching. As I said above, if Dollhouse had come out with episodes that were similar to the second halves of either season 1 (when the Alpha storyline started rocking) or season 2 (when it was mindblowingly awesome across the board), I think it would have fared much better.
A show does not deserve viewers simply because it gets good. It has to earn viewers. Those of us who stuck with a lame show were rewarded with it becoming an amazing show, but it got plenty of love which it didn't initially reward. Dollhouse was not Firefly, but it ended with as great and powerful a finale as I could've asked. I can only hope Lost manages to do the same.
