If there’s any justice, Dr. Horrible will eventually make a bundle. Far from horrible, it’s terrific.

TV Guide were given a sneak peak at the musical and they discuss the plot (contains spoilers), how Doctor Horrible came to be and the cast…

Many relationships, personal and professional, came into play in making Dr. Horrible. His [Joss Whedon's] brothers Jed and Zack helped him write it, along with Jed’s fiance Maurissa Tancharoen. Jed appears as part of a recurring Evil League of Evil chorus and Tancharoen can be seen as one of Captain Hammer’s fawning groupies. Whedon cohorts Marti Noxon and David Fury, who both did cameos in “Once More With Feeling,” return as snarky newscasters. And then of course there’s Fillion, a part of Whedon’s repertory company since Buffy and Firefly. “I’d heard him sing, but I just knew that even if he couldn’t, he could sell it. He’s Nathan, and he was great.”

As for casting Neil Patrick Harris, all it took was a phone call. “We all agreed there was really nobody else that should play Dr. Horrible. I didn’t even get the sentence out before he said yes. And then I sort of got defensive (Whedon lapses into fanboy-speak): ‘No no no, it’s really going to be good,’ and Neil’s like, ‘I said yes.’ And I said, ‘No no no, I mean, but I mean the point is, is mean I mean’ … I couldn’t handle it.”

Joss returns along with his brother Zack with an exclusive comics tie in to Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog, their much talked about series of upcoming musical webisodes. This eight page feature introduces the world to Captain Hammer, Dr. Horrible’s squeaky clean arch enemy. And celebrated low-brow artist Tara McPherson joins the fold with a hauntingly beautiful tale, “How to Heal a Broken Heart.”

• Part 1 - Tuesday July 15
  
• Part 2 - Thursday July 17
  
• Part 3 - Saturday July 19

These episodes will “air” online only until July 20.

Following that they will be made available for download at a “nominal fee” and in the near future available to buy on a very special DVD “with the finest and bravest extras in all the land”.

Now it’s time to spread the word far and wide to all the corners of the interweb.  Grab some banners from the official site (or visit the promotional page on this site) and post them everywhere you go - and be sure to cover those places people wouldn’t normally hear about this.

This is your chance to play a part in changing the face of the entertainment industry forever.

Joss Whedon: “[Do] What you always do, peeps! What you’re already doing. Spread the word. Rock some banners, widgets, diggs… let people know who wouldn’t ordinarily know. It wouldn’t hurt if this really was an event. Good for the business, good for the community – communitIES: Hollywood, internet, artists around the world, comic-book fans, musical fans (and even the rather vocal community of people who hate both but will still dig on this). Proving we can turn Dr Horrible into a viable economic proposition as well as an awesome goof will only inspire more people to lay themselves out in the same way. It’s time for the dissemination of the artistic process. Create more for less. You are the ones that can make that happen.”

Remember that writers strike about some newfangled thing called the Internet? Well, let go of the bitterness of having lost new episodes of your favorite shows and being spoon-fed reality programming, because the writers strike actually gave birth to a new venture from Joss Whedon…

…No word yet on where and when “Doctor Horrible” will launch, but Whedon has already said they are doing “amazing DVD extras.”

Will “Doctor Horrible” prove to be a viable example of television writers looking for a different avenue? Only time will tell, but it can’t hurt to have Joss Whedon and his fans on your side.

Response so far has been overwhelmingly positive with many viewers noting that the teaser far exceeded their expectations of what Doctor Horrible would be like.

Ms Day left fans with more teasing saying, “Wait until some of the official stuff is up later this week or next, then the fans will really have stuff to work with”.

In the words of writer Maurissa Tancharoen, “Let it fly! Spread it like Wildfire!”
