There were inevitable questions about the demise of Whedon's "Dollhouse" and whether he had soured on working with FOX.
He admitted that he "didn't think it through" at the time and that he might be a better fit for a cable network, since his methods were "incompatible" with FOX's ideas for the show.
Abrams agreed that broadcast networks aren't that interested in serialized television, even though that's where the compelling stories are, in Abrams' opinion.
Whedon added: "They see an easy cash cow in something like 'The Mentalist.'"
