I've heard about the budget cuts, but honestly, I think this will be a good thing. It will take some of the ratings pressure off, and Joss HAS to learn to operate within the constraints of a smaller budget, just because of the kind of TV show he makes (and the writing is creative enough that they don't NEED big budget).
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER! I can stop checking Whedonesque twice a day and focus my stress on...er, RL and exams and such.
You're absolutely right... if Joss could learn to get comfortable with a small budget then he could get shows onto Sci-fi or other channels where the ratings don't mean much and his core fans would actually be enough to keep his shows on the air as long as he likes.
He showed with Dr. Horrible what he can do on a (relative) shoe string.
