“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” (out Tuesday). Joss Whedon’s musical about a lovelorn would-be supervillain and the video blog he records in his home doesn’t exactly scream surefire hit, but it took the Internet by storm last summer. This sweet and sinister tale about the eponymous mad scientist (Neil Patrick Harris) who battles his arch nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion, of Whedon’s dearly departed “Firefly”), for the affections of the crusading civilian Penny (Felicia Day) shot immediately to the top of the iTunes video chart, and was viewed over 2.2 million times in its first week. If you missed it then, here’s your chance to discover it.”

‘Joss Whedon says to expect more of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog in some form or another, but won’t say what exactly.
‘It is my intention that we will see more of young Billy and his horrible schemes, and I have a very specific idea of what that’s going to be, but until I’m sure how I can roll it out, I will say nothing except that I’m definitely pursuing that,” Whedon promised in an exclusive interview.’

4. The importance of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
The best thing to happen for television wasn’t even on television. Joss Whedon’s Web-exclusive Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was made during the writers strike as a passion project on a shoestring budget; yet the product was one of the most entertaining of the year. We can only hope that others follow the same idea that bigger doesn’t always mean better and that sometimes the final decisions are best left to those who actually make the show, not the networks.
