Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

If you:

a) were severely disappointed when "Firefly" was cancelled.

b) almost didn't stick around for the ending of "Serenity" after Wash bit it.

OR

c) wondered how Eliza Dushku managed to land her no-talent ass a part in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

...then the name Joss Whedon is one you are familiar with.

He's back, and this time he has created a web-based musical called "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." If the name alone doesn't send your heart in to frenzied -geekdom level- palpitations, then sink your teeth in to this, my friends:

It stars Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion.

Did I push the right buttons? Did I? You know I did!

Harris plays Doctor Horrible, a quasi evil genius who is working on ruling the world... and mustering up the courage to talk to the cute girl at the laundromat (played by Felicia Day). Thwarted by his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Fillion), but aided by his rather sweaty sidekick, the blog he posts on the Internet is one of struggles, successes, and catchy tunes that you can't help but sing along with.

With all of the unwatchable crap that television is serving up these days, it is so refreshing to know that there is still great episodic entertainment floating in the ether of the Internet. The writing is funny, irreverent, witty, and undeniably FLAWLESS.

The next installment of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is set to be posted on July 17. Check out all of the fun at: http://www.drhorrible.com/ and let that dork flag fly!

PS: To Joss Whedon, if you are googling your name and happen to come upon this blog... thank you, and well done.
