Here at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, the assembled media types are supposed to be covering television, which we're dutifully trying to do.
But on many of the laptops in the room - and across the land - a revolution has been taking place. While we sat in a stuffy ballroom, Joss Whedon (Buffy,' Firefly') helped reinvent TV for the digital age.
Whedon's internet musical, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog,' which was released in three installments this week, is one of the freshest and most delightful projects I've seen in ages. (At left, Dr. Horrible receives an urgent missive from Evil League of Evil head honcho Bad Horse.)
Apparently many others agree: The 45-minute film, which Whedon filmed during the writers strike, was so popular that drhorrible.com crashed July 15, the day the first installment was released. The traffic problems have since been smoothed out, and it's been the No. 1 TV download on iTunes all week.
I got an e-mail from Joss that said, 'Gang, we broke the Internet.' That's all it said. Which is awesome,' said Dr. Horrible' star Neil Patrick Harris, who I talked to at a CBS party on Friday.
Even Whedon was surprised by Dr. Horrible's' runaway success, which he created with his brothers Jed and Zack and Maurissa Tancharoen.
We had this home-baked idea that we love and we're proud of," Whedon told USA Today. "We made this on the understanding that we'd never make a dime. But it's blown up beyond our expectations."
"[W]e were just hoping it would build over time, people would start to
spread the world and people would enjoy it," Jed Whedon said in an interview with the fan site
