So, I was a Buffy fan back when it was on the WB Network, and while I’ve never seen Firefly, I still respect Joss Whedon’s work. It was partly that, and partly the hype on PopWatch and Ain’t It Cool that lead me to check out Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

Now, it’s not a “blog”, really… it’s more of an internet television show / short film directed by Joss Whedon himself. The highly innovative experiment (of sorts) is reminiscent of “Once More With Feeling,” the musical Buffy episode, with its sense of humor and catchy melodies. On top of that, it’s one of my favorite Neil Patrick Harris appearances since Harold & Kumar.

While I have seen it, loved it, and highly recommend it, this post may be too little too late, as the show is supposed to be removed in its current free format today (Sunday). Fortunately, it will still be available via iTunes, but costs $3.99.
