Neil Patrick Harris (NPH), Mr. “snort coke of a strippers titty,” himself has a new online show. Dr. Horrible.  Its pretty damn funny.  Dr. Horrible is created by Joss Whedon, you know the guy that brought us Buffy and Firefly. 

During the WGA strike Joss Whedon started writing a three part musical series for the internet. Each of the three episodes will be approximately ten minutes each.

Co-writers for the internet feature are Joss’ brothers Zack and Jed and Jed’s Fiancé Maurissa Tancharoen . The writing and shooting have been completed and the series is now in post-production.

“It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.” says Whedon.

“Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” will star Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.”

From http://doctorhorrible.net a message from Joss Wheden:

At last the time has come to reveal to you our Master Plan. BEWARE! Those with weak hearts should log off lest they be terrified by the twisted genius of our schemes! Also pregnant women and the elderly should consider reading only certain sentences. Do not mix with other blogs. Do not operate heavy machinery while reading this blog. You must be this tall to read. ‘Kay?

It is time for us to change the face of Show Business as we know it. You know the old adage, “It’s Show Business – not Show Friends”? Well now it’s Show Friends. We did that. To Show Business. To show Show Business we mean business. (Also, there are now other businesses like it.)

ONE WEEK ONLY! AN INTERNET MINISERIES EVENT!

“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” will be streamed, LIVE (that part’s not true), FREE (sadly, that part is) right on Drhorrible.com, in mid-July. Specifically:

ACT ONE (Wheee!) will go up Tuesday July 15th.

ACT TWO (OMG!) will go up Thursday July 17th.

ACT THREE (Denouement!) will go up Saturday July 19th.

All acts will stay up until midnight Sunday July 20th. Then they will vanish into the night, like a phantom (but not THE Phantom – that’s still playing. Like, everywhere.)

Update: The Dr Horrible Servers Crashed because of the amount of people checking this out.

Four games. That’s all it took.

In four games, Chicago managed to reveal just how utterly defenseless Houston actually was this season. The 15-30 start wasn’t a fluke, after all. In all honesty, Houston never seemed to be in this series at any point. Batting collapsed, and pitching eventually wore out. Garner seemed to lose it as manager as the series wore on, and it made you wonder just where was the team that went 18 innings that day.

This is not to denigrate the performance of the White Sox, mind you. Chicago’s second team managed to do something my beloved Cubs seem totally incapable of doing- win the big games. The city of Chicago has bragging rights once more, as the White Sox are the champions of baseball.

Four fricking games.

Out.
