Once More With Feeling
If you enjoyed "Once More With Feeling" (the Buffy musical) get yourself over to "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog", a cheesy superhero musical in three acts. The first Act is now available, starting the tale of Dr Horrible's attempt to earn membership in the Evil League of Evil. Act I is awesomely hokey, with the performance of Neil Patrick Harris's lifetime (normally, I don't really care for him, but he's incredible as an up and coming evil supergenius in love, far better than his Komissar Howzer performance in Starship Troopers) and some ridiculous musical numbers.
Viewing it is free, though you can also pay $4 to download the whole thing on iTunes. One warning to those planning on paying: The first Act is less than 15 minutes. Chances are the other two acts are roughly the same length. While many Joss Whedon fans (myself included) are thrilled to throw money his way, I imagine it would suck to shell out the money, and then realize you were getting less than an hour's worth of programming. Personally, I think being able to watch it again months from now is well worth $4, but I can understand how it's probably a one-shot experience for some folks. Luckily, said folks can watch it for free this week.

I agree, it's excellent. You'll see a Digital Sextant review when the third act has run.
On the NPH front, I recommend that you check out HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Netflix the first disc and you can email me nasty messages if you don't like it. I came to it reluctantly but found it enjoyable and addictive. NPH owns the first few episodes, but the other characters man up eventually.
