Have you heard of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog? No? Well, you should definitely get on that because it's delightful.
For the uninformed, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is an award-winning, 2008 musical/comedy/drama/miniseries that was formatted and produced for consumption on the internet. It was written and created during the 2007-2008 Writer's strike by Jed, Zack, and Joss Whedon (yes, the Whedon of Avengers (among many other things) fame) along with Maurissa Tancharoen.
The show, broken into three acts and initially uploaded in three parts, tells the story of Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris), an aspiring supervillain; Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), the Dr.'s nemesis; and Penny (Felicia Day), their shared love interest.
Without spoiling too much, the show follows the life of Dr. Horrible through musical "blog updates" that he posts on his site, showing how he works to be accepted into the Evil League of Evil, struggles against his arch enemy, and attempts to grab the attention of the love of his life. It's short, sweet (less than 45 minutes), full of quotable lines, and has been conveniently uploaded to YouTube since it's departure from Netflix.
Happy Blogging!
