Show Friends

Well, friends, I have some big, goofy news to share. Joss.Whedon.Is.Back. The giver of television goodness has gone global, and, potentially, gaga, with Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog


Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.

See?!

While we wait with breath that is bated for The Dollhouse to hit the small screen, we will hunch over our computer screens on July 15th, 17th and 19th to enjoy Whedon's latest delight....gratis. That's right, this short film/micro mini series will be free for online viewers until July 20th, when it will be wrenched from cyberspace for a DVD release, chock-a-block with extras. But don't take my word for it, Whedon reveals his Show-Friends-Not-Show-Business Master Plan here, and he writes funnier than me.

So, Doogie Howser is all grown up and who knows what he'll get up to in Whedon's Horrible hands. Nathan Fillion is back, he's still a Captain, but now it's Hammertime. There'll be singing, dancing* and supervillians....this is the best thing to come out of the Writers' Strike. Show Friends indeed.

Grrr Argghh...

P.S. This is three-for-the-price-of-one Whedon, with brothers Zack and Jed on the writing team (with Maurissa Tancharoen).
- AND thanks to blogger extraordinaire Kate for bringing this brilliant news to my attention!

*I don't actually know if there will be dancing. One can only hope!
