The How I Met Your Mother Blog

That’s a title I never thought I’d write, although I’m quite excited to be sharing this with you. This again breaks my “three posts in one day” rule but I’m tired of Britney taking up my entire homepage so I bring it to you anyway.

Neil Patrick Harris will star as Dr. Horrible in Joss Whedon’s online musical mini-series “DOCTOR HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG”. What is it? Why is it happening? Who knows, but I bet it’s going to be awesome.

Whedon recently posted this on his fan site:

So…..The bag is catless.

During the strike I started writing a musical intended as a limited internet series, 3 episodes of approximately 10 minutes each. Writing with me was my brother Jed, his fiancee Maurissa, and my other brother Zack. To my shock and surprise, we finished it. To my greater shock and surprise, we managed (with the help of many people I’ll be praising at length soon) to drag it into preproduction (yes, just as DOLLHOUSE was given a start date two months away and all my comics were due.) And today, after a grueling week of writing everything ever while trying to be a producer, I got to start shooting. A musical.

This much I will say: 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. And I’m having the time of my life.

This is kind of awesome. It’s like a fanboy (or girl)’s dream come true. I get a little reticent whenever a writer talks about what they were doing during the break but the works produced involving other HIMYM cast members were good, so I think this will be too. What do you think?
