Joss Whedon’s acclaimed Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, will make its television début on Tuesday, October 9 at 9pm on The CW.
Created as a three-part online musical in July 2008 (total running time : 42 minutes), it stars Neil Patrick Harris as Billy, aka Dr. Horrible, a budding super villain whose plans for world domination continually go awry. His 2 goals : getting accepted into the Evil League of Evil, and working up the guts to speak to his laundromat crush Penny (Felicia Day). The only thing standing in his way is his superhero arch nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). With one big score, Billy could get into the ELE and earn the respect of Penny, but only if he can keep her away from the dashing Hammer.
Directed by Joss Whedon, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was written by Maurissa Tancharden, Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon & Joss Whedon with music by Jed Whedon & Joss Whedon.

I've seen this so many times on Netflix, I'm not sure why I'm excited it is airing on TV, but I totally am.
ReplyDeleteShame they have edited it slightly to fit the 42min slot. I hope that it gains some new fans, they should probably just market it as being done by the Avengers director and that should lure people in! Now of course I have Brand New Day stuck in my head, perfect!
