No one is more deserving of this week's FU of the Week (check out the full episode here) than Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Zack Whedon, the notorious writers of the epic three-part musical mini-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. If you haven't heard the story of the evil Freeze Ray toting mastermind with a heart of cold created by Joss Whedon, where the heck on the InterWebs have you been?
If you go to the drhorrible.com, you'll notice that the videos are no longer available to view on the site. They were up for a week, gained buzz to the point of bringing down servers, and were then pulled. What a tease. ;) So, if you didn't get to see it, all you're left with are people smoking after-sex cigarrettes and the feeling you missed out on something really damn good. You would be right. Fortunately, there are still places online where you can catch the episodes, like iTunes and Hulu.
Dr. Horrible is proof-positive that the writer's strike made a psychological impact in Hollywood. When you have frustrated writers standing in picket lines, what better place to turn to vent frustrations than the web? Those frustrations were the very thing that spawned Dr. Horrible, and I think Dr. Horrible will in turn spawn a new wave of amazing web shows -- pushing us all to the next level of entertainment.
Note** From Maurissa "It's back up on hulu.com since the 29th for free (with ads). You can go to our site www.drhorrible.com, click on the "watch it now" button."

This, of course, is no longer true.

Cool interview. :)
I just found out today that they are streaming it off from Hulu (with commercials) so if anyone missed it, you get another chance.

It can be seen on MySpace as well as Hulu. MySpace has the option of watching it all at once or in three separate acts.

Or just go to iTunes and download the whole thing -- show your support, invest six bucks!

iTunes is only $3.99 if you buy the season pass, though! I've bought it for me, my husband, and several friends!

The contest isn't a scoop. They announced it on stage at the Dr. Horrible panel last Friday. Heh.

Soon ... you will be seeing Miss Fortune at this table. I've been watching the blogs and I am ready to make my move. You all think that it was a coincidence that Penny is no longer in Billy's .... uh... Dr. Horrible's life. No such luck my friends. That was ALL my evil doing!! Know my name my name - Miss Fortune - and that is all you need remember.

Er...is this the extended interview? it looks the samesy as the one in today's show. The 2 questions I didn't see asked that should have been:
1) The revenue question. (i know in know, been there done that, but still theyre doing something new so its gotta get asked...again)
2) The "are you making those ELE submission videos viewable to the general public and if so where can we see them?" question
And dr horrible rocks!
thx!
