Joss Whedon's "Doctor Horrible" Set To Launch

Ololiuhqui writes "During the writer's strike, Joss Whedon came up with a musical idea. Now his diabolical plan is about to be unleashed in the form of a streaming-only release, with a DVD shortly to follow. The three-part Doctor Horrible series stars Neil Patrick Harris as the eponymous doctor, Felicia Day as the woman of his dreams, and Nathan Fillion as the doctor's nemesis, Captain Hammer. Reportedly made for 'less than six figures,' the series has already received rave reviews and will no doubt showcase Whedon's musical facility, as well as his proven ability to squeeze the most out of a budget."

    I was like 10 when that show came out, and I'm 22 now. I didn't give a shit about tits then dude, it was a good sci-fi show about battling demons and vampires, that mixed-in some good non-vampire story elements.

    You really can't find too many shows where the title character isn't attractive. If the story was shit, no amount of T and A would have kept it going for like 7 seasons.

    Uh, he starred in Serenity the movie which was after Firefly.

    He starred in Drive, by Joss Whedon.

    He knows it's the shithead Fox execs that are the problem, not Joss.
