Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Joss Whedon has created a new show that’s only on the internet called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  I’ve been a Joss Whedon fan ever since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and of course some of the other excellent shows and movies he’s done like Angel, Firefly (which should never had been canceled so quickly, shame on you FOX) and Serenity.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is a musical comedy that was written by Joss Whedon during the writer’s strike.  It stars Neil Patrick Harris as “Dr. Horrible” and Nathan Fillion as his arch nemesis “Captain Hammer” and Felicia Day as “Penny.”  Neil Patrick Harris, best known from his earlier show as Doogie Howser is great in this series as Dr. Horrible.  If your a Joss Whedon fan you are also familiar with Nathan Fillion as the evil preacher Caleb (great character) in Buffy and as the captain of the ship Serenity in both Firefly and Serenity. Whedon has done musicals before with the outstandingly good Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode from season six titled “Once More With Feeling.”

There is apparently going to be more Dr. Horrible episodes to come but for now there are 3 episodes that are about 14 minutes each.  The hulu vid I tried to embed in  this posting is apparently rejected by WordPress right now so until they stop rejecting hulu here’s the link.  It has all 3 acts.  I recently listened to Episode 63 of net@night from Leo Laporte’s TWiT site where Felicia Day was talking about the future of Dr. Horrible so if you like the show listen to net@night to find out more.
