This first blog I want to write about a phenomenon that happened last fall. This would be the rise of the online hot that was Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. The show started as a project just for actor's to do during the writers strike. It was created by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the short lived cult hit that was Firefly. It stars Neil Patrick Harris of Doogie Houser fame and How I met your Mother star.
The actor's were paid nothing and thought this would be a fun little project the first day it was online the website crashed because there were so many hits. The show can now be downloaded on Itunes and will be on DVD very soon.
Alright the show was about this villain Dr. Horrible and his quest to join the Evil League of Evil. However he falls in love in the process and must choose. It is a musical and the songs are modern and very clever and well done. The show was so popular that they even had a panel at Comic-Con. The show can still be viewed on HULU and is a must watch for everyone.
My next blog I hope will be a review of the pilot episode of Fringe a new series from J.J. Abrams, the creator of Lost, Alias, Felicity, and the movie Cloverfield.
Thanks.
