'Dr. Horrible' Takes an Emmy Home!

News by Robert Ring, 09.13.2009

Congratulations to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog! The cult sci-fi/musical/comedy web series won an Emmy Saturday night for "Outstanding Special Class -- Short-format Live-action Entertainment Programs."

Dr. Horrible stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day. The show is about a pseudo-evil pseudo-genius trying to win the love of a female patron at his regular laundromat, with the help of his newly invented Freeze Ray.

The series consists of three thirteen- to fifteen-minute episodes available free to stream on the web. The show can be found on both Hulu and the official Dr. Horrible website.

If you're not familiar with Dr. Horrible, we strongly suggest you check it out. They didn't win an Emmy for nothing! ... Heck, you know what? We'll embed it for you right here. Below is the entire forty-two-minute series. (Warning: Musical numbers contained therein are dangerously catchy.) Enjoy!

Dr. Horrible is Great

I don’t know what other shows competed in the category, but ”Dr. Horrible…” definitely deserves an award. This is a very funny “superhero” musical. I liked it, and I usually don’t like musicals. Neil Patrick Harris is a want-to-be supervillian with enough Dooggie Howser in him to be sympathetic. As for the ending…”wait for it…”

Agreed.

I agree. They really deserve this award. I re-watched it after they won, and the first few minutes alone had me laughing out loud. "Because the status ... is not quo."
