Whedonites are the alarming, often fanatical devotees of writer/director Joss Whedon.

Whedonism is a faith devoted entirely to the interpretation and worship of Whedon's various televised works and their assorted merchandising spinoffs. Whedonites are fierce and terrible in their belief, and have been known to profoundly annoy and harangue any critic, writer, or network executive who fails to lavish what they deem a sufficient level of praise and adoration upon their demigod's undertakings. They will buy just about anything with a sufficiently strong connection to their lord and master, a fact that savvy marketers have exploited in shameful fashion, and to great success.

The faith has undergone a schism in recent years. The traditional Buffistas interpret Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its quasi-canonical spinoff Angel as the only true gospels of Whedonism, while the more heretical Browncoat faction draws the majority of its teachings from Whedon's space Western Firefly. Unconfirmed reports suggest the existence of another, ultra-orthodox branch of Whedonism, whose adherents believe that there is no truth beyond the pages of Whedon's screenplays for Speed, Toy Story, and Alien: Resurrection.

The factual accuracy of this article is disputed.
Please see the relevant discussion on the talk page.

Doctor Who is a long-running series produced by the BBC about a scientist named Dr. Who who travels through time and space by using a modified phone booth known as Tartis and a magical scarf given to him by Harry Potter.

The show, which launched in Britain in 2005 and in the U.S. on The SciFi Channel in 2006, is loosely based on the long-running British television fixture EastEnders and features many of the same characters, especially Dr. Who's arch-enemies, the villainous Klingons.

Major Divisions
Violence
Fox's Violence division specializes in graphic footage intended to desensitize its audience while sating their latent appetite for blood. Programs from the Violence division usually emphasize spectacular car crashes, gigantic explosions, and shirtless, incoherent hillbillies with disturbingly pale beer guts and mercifully blurred-out faces.

The best-known products of the Violence division include America's Most Wanted, Cops, When Animals Attack, When Animals Attack Cops, World's Wildest Police Chases, World's Wildest Police Chases Involving Cops and Animals, America's Funniest Orphan Mutilations, and 24 (original title: Tortureman!).

Torment
The Torment division specializes in subjecting its audience and its participants to degradation, humiliation, and Paula Abdul -- sometimes all at once. Primarily consisting of reality television programs that flay their contestants for public amusement with the skill and speed of a Japanese chef, the Torment division is also responsible for unleashing Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie upon an unsuspecting public, in what Biblical scholars now believe to be the heretofore unknown eighth seal of the Apocalypse. Popular offerings from the Torment division include American Idol, Joe Millionaire, and The Simple Life.

The Torment division also specifically allows once-beloved shows to linger far past their natural lives, gradually transforming into horrific, shambling zombies that roam the airwaves in an endless search for fresh viewers. The Simpsons and The X-Files are only two cases in point.

Anguish
Perhaps the most nefarious department in the sinister Fox empire, Anguish specializes in nuturing brilliant, wonderful television shows. It shepherds these shows through the long and difficult process of development, keeping their quirky spirit intact. It then brings these shows to air just long enough to develop a small but devoted audience, then mercilessly cancels them. The resulting outcry of rage and despair from the show's viewers is then harvested by specially trained druids, and mystically transferred to Rupert Murdoch, further increasing his dark powers.

Strangely enough, though the Anguish division's workings are well-documented, audiences keep falling for them all the same. Victims of the Anguish department include Firefly, Futurama, and most recently, Arrested Development.

On weekends, Fox has monopolized coverage of American sports, including MLB, NASCAR, NFL, BCS, NSFW and NRBQ. A veritible old-folks'-home of announcers, who torture fans ears with incipid observations, Fox's announcing team includes Tim McCarver, Terry Bradshaw, Darryl Waltrip and Vivian Vance.

Sandwiches
The Sandwiches division makes delicious, delicious sandwiches out of the finest ingredients, to be served at various Fox meetings and events. It seems to have no discernably evil purpose; apparently, Rupert Murdoch just really likes good sandwiches. Can you blame him?
