Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog 

Why, What, When and Then

Why did Joss do this?
Joss Whedon wrote this during the Hollywood writters strike of 2008, and filmed it in 6 days on a minimal budget and relying on the lots of family and friends and calling in many favours. Instead of be broadcast on the traditional medium of Television, this project was shown to millions around the world via the Internet.

"Whether this has any impact on the Internet is unclear to me. It will be something that hasn't been done. And although some people came up with a plan on how to monetize this right away, our first priority was to put this out. We do it for the fans, we do it as an advertisement for itself and for just this culture, this idea of people who are doing something smaller scale but hopefully in such a way they can reach a lot of people.

What is it?
This is a musical comedy in three parts, featuring the wannabe mad scientist Dr. Horrible bent on taking over the world (played by Neil Patrick Harris). There is also Penny (Felicia Day), the cute girl he really likes, and Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) who keeps beating him up.

These three characters all get big numbers, from lyrical ballads to soaring comic anthems, written by Joss with his brother Jed. If you've seen the Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling", you'll already have an idea what it could be like.

When can I watch it?
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was streamed for free on the show's official website until July 20th. It is available to purchase as individual episodes ($1.99) or as a "season" ($3.99) through iTunes in the US & Canadian stores and will be available in other countries soon.

What'll happen now?
There is plans to release it on DVD some time in the future, with "the best bonus features in the land". There could well be a soundtrack album released as well.

    Once More, With Feeling 

    from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    The episode Once More, With Feeling was a breakthrough for television. It was a musical where the cast did all their own singing and Joss Whedon wrote all the music and lyrics. It was an amazing achievement and the Audio CD is also brilliant, featuring all the songs from the episode plus some scores and suites from other episodes:
