Okay, so maybe it isn't the second coming of Buffy, Angel and Serenity all in one, but the first part of Joss Whedon's superhero web musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is just plain fun to watch. Starring Neil Patrick Harris as a hapless evil genius, Nathan Fillion as a jerkwad superhero and Felicia Day as the neighborhood activist they both want to impress, the show features good music, surprisingly good singing and -- despite what looks like 1/20th the budget of an episode of Buffy -- even a decent special effect or two. It's also pretty damn funny.
And it's ready for viewing on your Internet box, so watch it here.
Update: According to Dr. Horrible's Twitter account, too much interest from cultists like us has temporarily crashed the site. Some evil genius!
