NPH: Evil Mastermind… or is he?

The first act of Joss Whedon’s three act web-series “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” has been posted via Hulu and available for download on iTunes. The trailer has been making the rounds for a couple weeks, though aside from glimpses of Neil Patrick Harris and the should-be leading man Nathan Fillion it gave very few clues as to what we could expect.

Having seen the first episode, now, apparently it was all in the title. There’s Dr. Horrible (Harris), he has a blog, and there is singing. Really, it’s the singing that kicks things into high gear (well, that and Fillion’s pompous super-hero character). Harris is, as expected, hilarious. It’s hardly worth mentioning the plot, but it involves super-villainy, laundry and a love triangle.

The next two acts are released on July 15th and July 17th — no need to drag things out, right?

Whomever or whoever? Enjoy this awesome clip from perhaps my favorite episode of The Office ever, “Money,” courtesy of Hulu.

Living in something of a television black-hole with almost obscene amounts of free-time, I’ve frequently found myself over at the NBC/FOX video-joint Hulu, which just went public a few weeks back. As far as sanctioned video is concerned, there might not be a better destination online (though I will also add that the revamped Daily Show website is wholly usable). So far I’ve re-watched the first half of this season’s episodes of The Office, more than a few 30 Rocks, The Jerk, The Three Amigos and (strangely?) Dude, Where’s My Car. The experience, which is where any video-based website lives and dies, is so good I almost want to classify it as “feel-good.” There’s something almost novel about the notion of getting content that for so long has been on the fringes of legality now packaged in a super-slick wrapper sanctioned by all of the powers that be (including our once-short-shrifted writers). More after the jump…
