Team Whedon’s DR. HORRIBLE!!

Awesome! by 24200124	Jun 25th, 2008 04:43:11 PM
Can't wait... Been looking forward to this for a while!
Was that Mal? by Mel Gibsteinberg	Jun 25th, 2008 04:45:42 PM
Wouldn't be surprised if Nathan Fillion filled in on a Whedon project, but did anyone else see that?
I miss Firefly and Cap'n Mal by tvspace	Jun 25th, 2008 04:49:54 PM
Call me a wuss. It was a well-written show.
Nevermind by Mel Gibsteinberg	Jun 25th, 2008 04:50:33 PM
Had I bothered to read Herc's post I would have answered my own question. Having said that, think I'll pass.
"Carl!" by Hikaru Ichijo	Jun 25th, 2008 04:51:17 PM
I'm glad NPH is keeping busy. Did you see him in "Starship Troopers" Best sci-fi flick of the 90's.
yyyyyeeeeaaaahhhh! by cesaria	Jun 25th, 2008 04:53:19 PM
This actually looks pretty balls deep.
will he fuck and kill hookers in this one too by bacci40	Jun 25th, 2008 04:54:30 PM
i love that guy...i want him to rape hannah montana
must be nice by zom-bot.com	Jun 25th, 2008 04:54:36 PM
to get to a point where you can do cheap-ass web movies with self-knowing kinda funny lo-key stars and know that people will watch them just because of the actually GOOD things youv'e done. i'm guessing it got passed over as both a tv show or a movie. so now it pretends to live in the hip zone of a 'web experience'
fuck you haters by bacci40	Jun 25th, 2008 04:55:34 PM
you all know you are all gonna watch...and get boners, and jack off to this geek piece of heaven
Count me as one of the tasteless masses by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Jun 25th, 2008 04:58:56 PM
as I'll surely watch it.
Oh fuck I think I've just had an epiphany by thefrood	Jun 25th, 2008 05:00:14 PM
All those people who race to post a blisteringly negative comment about every damn thing on this site are actually bile filled un-married middle aged men who are terrified that youth has left them and people are actually finding some meaningful enjoyment in something that actively excludes them because they're too fucking bitter and joyless. Phew that's a weight off!
Gotta be better than Middleman. by Squashua	Jun 25th, 2008 05:03:23 PM
Just sayin'.
personally by zom-bot.com	Jun 25th, 2008 05:08:32 PM
i'm happily married to a hot rockabilly piece, happy with my art career taking off, so much so that i rarely watch tv, occaisionally go to the theater but would never see the need to keep up with a semi-regular webisode like this. i'm just saying.
zom-bot.com by thefrood	Jun 25th, 2008 05:13:03 PM
You've got a life. The exception that proves the rule.
Seems fucking rubbish by Pablo Escobar	Jun 25th, 2008 05:19:57 PM
Just being honest Doogie must hate looking in the mirror after being forced to make this shite
EH? by SUPERJIM	Jun 25th, 2008 05:21:47 PM
What is this all about. Come on Joss, why waste your time on this? What am I talking about? I know I will watch if I am reminded on here or some place else. Am I the only person who didn't know that the guy from Starship Troopers was Doogie Howser M.D?
Never could get the appeal of Whedon. by PumpyMcAss	Jun 25th, 2008 05:32:06 PM
"Self-conscious dialogue, self-conscious dialogue, self-conscious dialogue." End episode. Doesn't get much more nineties than that.
agree with superjim by zom-bot.com	Jun 25th, 2008 05:34:51 PM
he said it better than me. seems like a waste of time for all involved, as well as 'team whedon' (i have to wash my mouth out now...'team'...mlegh) why not use this money and time to, i dunno, make more movies and shows with wider scope. a web series like this- even at low budget- has to be a financial loss. that's what i mean when i say it must be nice to have the surplus of time and money to waste on something like this.
Kevin Smith by Loosejerk	Jun 25th, 2008 05:52:26 PM
This looks like a piece of Kevin Smith garbage.
This will be legen - wait for it! by Fawst	Jun 25th, 2008 06:00:53 PM
DARY! I can't wait to check it out, in NPH we trust.
Awesomeness by Whitemouse	Jun 25th, 2008 06:08:56 PM
actually though I kinda agree with Loosejerk it does look Kevin Smith-alike. But heh, Awesome! BTW my wife loves How I Met Your Mother and NPH is really good in it.
Hikaru Ichijo, NHP was in Starship Troopers?!!?! by Kurzinski Valentine	Jun 25th, 2008 06:10:25 PM
NO WAY!!! :\|
Since the TB title contains the word "Whedon"... by chromedome	Jun 25th, 2008 06:10:44 PM
...we just need wait mere moments for the Obsessive Anti-Whedon Trolls to reflexively and uncontrollably enter and spew venom about how obsessive the fans of Whedon are. Pity them--they are so owned by their obsession, they just can't stop themselves from doing their Monkey-Troll Dance.
I'll check it out... by johnnyangel	Jun 25th, 2008 06:12:21 PM
Looks like fun, and I can identify with evil but inept men. Wannaevils? I love that Butters character on South Park, Professor Chaos.
damn i miss firefly by ls420	Jun 25th, 2008 06:19:38 PM
what a great show with potential to grow.
Why... by wet_trash	Jun 25th, 2008 06:40:21 PM
...does everything have to "rise" these days?
NPH rules by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jun 25th, 2008 06:51:54 PM
I'll be tuning in for sure
wow, you're a sad, sour little bunch of dweebs by omarthesnake	Jun 25th, 2008 07:18:49 PM
You think Joss is wasting time with this? you're wasting time posting your negative comments about it. How about you go plant a tree, feed the homeless, do something productive rather than bothering to post in a talkback you're reflexively inclined to rant about because of your inherent superiority to all things Whedon? How about, instead of being negative about something you claim not to like (and yet sure know a hell of a lot about), you go be positive on some other forum about something else? Why bother? you're wasting your time, and we don't really give a flying shit what you have to say because we know you're just a pathetic little troll anyhow. I fucking hate sports, but i'm not on sports forums ranting about them. i'm out looking at forums related to things I DO like instead. It's much healthier, less bile-churning, less pointless way to live your life. "Monkey-Troll Dance," nice phrase.
Buffyverse metts Ventureverse! by fiester	Jun 25th, 2008 07:24:37 PM
You know you'd watch that mash-up. Brock Sampson would totally bone Faith. Hank and Dean would get all sorts of inappropriate boners. And Buffy and Triana would go shopping while Giles and Dr. Orpheus formed an acoustic duo and played coffee houses. Dr. Venture would probably creep them all out and start hanging out with The Monarch because no one else can stand him. Spike would fight Phantom Limb. David Bowie would pop up. Angel would go all evil and start running the Guild of Calamitous Intent. Andrew would move in with White and Billy Quizboy. Brock Sampson would bone Willow, which would surprise her (not as gay as she thought). Buffy would start dating Phantom Limb and fight with Dr. Girlfriend. Orpheus would erase Dawn from existence because she was never supposed to exist in the first place. Xander's Guild application would be denied and he'd start palling around with 18 and 24. Brock would bone Buffy, then Molatov Cocktease would show up and try and kill Buffy and Faith. That would end season one with a cliffhanger as Dr. Venture finally gets a date with Buffy--to Las Vegas!
Sounds like a Venture Bros. episode by Oski	Jun 25th, 2008 07:33:29 PM

Felicia Day by Big Bad Clone	Jun 25th, 2008 07:44:41 PM
Alright. Nice to see in somethng other than commercials.
Hey, leave Middleman alone. Also this looks good... by Drath	Jun 25th, 2008 07:52:22 PM
But webisodes? Not a TV show? Not a movie? It looks like more fun to me than Hancock (not to put that one down, just I trust the creatives involved with this more). I wish this was a new TV show. Sci-Fi, don't you have room for a new show yet? Can't USA put the money they saved by cancelling The 4400 to better use than that show about the US Marshal named Marshall and the other lady (show name escapes me)? All it appears to be missing are worthy production values, but if they could put money into Underdog, then this really should be a no-brainer.
This sort of reminds me by buffywrestling	Jun 25th, 2008 09:25:28 PM
of what Stephen King did with "The Plant". Fuck the publishing company, I'm selling it straight to the fans (this was before that itune thingy). It didn't work out then but eventually....I mean, I mentioned that itune thingy, right? I think Whedon - out of his intense support for artists and his intense dislike of corporate suits telling him what to do (bit of a diva, yeah? God bless him.) - is experimenting like Uncle Stevie did. Will it be a success? Probably not. Matt and Trey were correct when they said the internet wasn't commerically accesible right now. But it will be one day. And you need guys pushing the envelope, so they can develop technology to keep up with imagination. Or you know, fuck it, maybe it's just a bunch of cute songs. That may be better. I wonder if Doogie and Mal kiss?
tee hee, pondscum by occula	Jun 25th, 2008 09:50:07 PM
nice gag-reel name-check. i'm sorry, but i agree: whedon is still out there hanging on to his own style and keeping it charming as ever. haters hate away, the rest of us will hold down the fort with a smile on our face (yeah, my metaphors make no sense). i personally made time to watch 'clark and michael' and i will certainly make time to watch dees.
You had me at low-rent super-villain by password.swordfish	Jun 25th, 2008 09:51:31 PM
It's not a movie or TV show cause he wrote it during the writer's strike. It's how he filled his time. I like all involved, I'll check it out. There is a lot of hate on this site, but I can't really complain, seeing that if this was a Michael Bay or Uwe Boll movie, I'd be the one spewing the hate. Some people just don't get Whedon. I think they're missing out, but that's just me.
So basically, It's Chad Vader. by Smerdyakov	Jun 25th, 2008 10:48:19 PM
You dare speak Thus to ME?

Go Whedon! by cyberelf420	Jun 25th, 2008 11:23:08 PM

HA by cyberelf420	Jun 25th, 2008 11:29:13 PM
I haven't really kept up with this sing-a-long thing. I heard a little hear and there but this trailer looks perfect for what it is -fun little 3 ten minutes webisodes. What's to hate? Some of you guys are so pathetic it makes we wonder if you're just playing characters in a WoW/DD like game called AICN that I don't know about "try and be the most obnoxious fanboy jerkwad and earn xp". The truth is - NOBODY cares if you like it or not. Not one person. For those of us who are looking forward to it I'd say the trailer is perfect.
this looks fucking awesome by Atomica	Jun 25th, 2008 11:51:24 PM
superhero camp at it's cheesiest. love it!
Whedon does camp well by flickchick85	Jun 26th, 2008 12:01:41 AM
I don't normally like these purposefully campy types of things (Army of Darkness is a rare exception), but if the early seasons of Buffy were any indication, Whedon does seem to know how to do this stuff right. I'll check out the 1st webisode, at least.
That was hilarious by Mose Schrute	Jun 26th, 2008 12:26:17 AM
Bring it on, Buffy-boy
I'm not remotely a Neil Patrick Harris fan by splungiest	Jun 26th, 2008 12:29:14 AM
but he looks really fucking funny in this!
I'm officially more excited about this than Dollhouse by darth girlfriend	Jun 26th, 2008 12:30:51 AM
too bad there's only 30 minutes of it.
truly, the laundrymat girl is fetching by mach5jack	Jun 26th, 2008 12:34:45 AM
and NPH is dang funny. more please.
Whedon no, NPH, HELL YES. by AnnoyYou	Jun 26th, 2008 02:26:11 AM
This is the only way I could be induced to watch Whedon product again: the participation of the ever-awesome NPH. Joss, you sneaky bastard! Even Fillion looks hilarious in this, and I am definitely not a slobbering Browncoat. Damn it. I guess I'll have to buy it or something.
So after last nights alcohol fuelled anti-troll rant by thefrood	Jun 26th, 2008 04:22:40 AM
I finally got round to watching the trail. And really, what's not to like? NPH is great, it gave me a laugh and I reckon it'll be worth 5 minutes of anyones time surely?
I'll watch anything with NPH by David Cloverfield	Jun 26th, 2008 05:21:11 AM
He didn't say a word but his "evil face" at the laundromat was hilarious. And I kinda like Whedon. Count me in.
That looks class. NPH and Fillion. Count me in!!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 26th, 2008 05:55:21 AM
Bitches!!!!!!!!!!
Better than most crap on TV these days by Yeti	Jun 26th, 2008 06:17:49 AM
Dollhouse cannot get on the airwaves fast enough for me.
The reason why buffy worked in the beginning.. by emeraldboy	Jun 26th, 2008 06:22:17 AM
was that wheedon was able to wrap a vampire and monsters scenarion around a coming of age story and wrap around that a story of a bunch of teens going through college and growing up. By the way for those who will say in the future Lucas raped my childhood. US Politicians are pushing to have rapists executed. Lucas will not be on death row anytime soon.
wooo... codex is in it... by seekshelter	Jun 26th, 2008 06:52:31 AM
already got a crush on her... so i guess ill be watching this...
So it's Warren Ellis' DOKTOR SLEEPLESS meets MALLRATS? by SpyGuy	Jun 26th, 2008 09:05:30 AM
Well, that's what it looks like...
Yeah it's cheesy so what by Shub-Wankalot	Jun 26th, 2008 11:10:18 AM
Still looks entertaining compared to some of the lackluster material floating on TV
Hey! Was that Wollowitz from TBBT? by Felix_Happer	Jun 26th, 2008 11:24:51 AM
That motherfucker makes me laugh.
Potch by Potch	Jun 26th, 2008 11:31:06 AM
I didn't think it was possible to heart Joss more than I already did. NPH and Fillion... Hell yes!
Fuck you guys... this rocks! by nonsensical	Jun 26th, 2008 11:32:39 AM
Look at it again, look at how campy and interesting this is as compared to the other garbage out there. NPH is aweseom! Nathan is equally as awesome an actor. I dare you to find something that could be this good that just isn't going to be on TV.
by Potch	Jun 26th, 2008 11:35:04 AM
Haven't read the whole talkback, but to those wondering WHY Joss spent time on this... from what I understood when I heard about this a few months ago was that it was something Joss did for fun during the writers strike, because there really wasn't anything else to do.
more than just a distraction by oisin5199	Jun 26th, 2008 11:57:07 AM
Joss did come up with this during the writer's strike, but not just because he had nothing else to do. His idea was to show what could be done away from the WGA and the Hollywood machine. He's said he hopes to sell this on DVD or something (make it pay somehow), just to demonstrate a production and sales model outside of the typical Hollywood system. I'm all for it, and I'm certainly all for the actors! Nathan Fillion must be in everything!
I love the Whedon and all by Quin the Eskimo	Jun 26th, 2008 01:05:04 PM
I own all the Angel, Buffy, and Firefly DVD's. But why the hell do Whedonites insist on sticking a y at the end of any word and turning it into an adjective? It's derevitivy.
No Way was that Allyson Hennigan by Canaan	Jun 26th, 2008 01:10:39 PM
The blurb said Doogie was in a sitcom with Willow. But no way was that the same actress.
Sorry Canaan by password.swordfish	Jun 26th, 2008 03:07:31 PM
The sitcom of reference is How I Met Your Mother.
I think Doogie might be coming full-circle by samsquanch	Jun 26th, 2008 04:25:22 PM
back to camp. His particular brand of self-referential humor is starting to wear a bit thin. is it not?
Kurzinski, you didn't know! by Hikaru Ichijo	Jun 26th, 2008 04:25:39 PM
Made me laugh... seriously though, I will never get over seeing that dude dressed up like a Nazi, talking like a fatalist. The only down side to the guy's success is that he doesn't have time to be in "Marauder"
Actress by isther	Jun 26th, 2008 04:51:59 PM
The actress in the video is Felicia Day, known for appearing on Buffy as a Potential Slayer, and also because she starred/wrote the online webseries sensation "The Guild". Oh boy, and I thought you people were nerds.
those are the guys from "the guild" by punto	Jun 26th, 2008 06:31:40 PM
on youtube. The girl, and also one of the guys who shows up for a split second about half way through.. I wonder if they got the whole "company"..
The appeal of Whedon: Original, funny, geeky, writing & Nathan by Stormwatcher	Jun 26th, 2008 10:34:16 PM
Cuz the Fillion rules yo! I want to see him get another series. God use this guy.
emeraldboy by infinite_probability	Jun 28th, 2008 03:17:56 AM
I agree with the first part of what you say, but can't make head or tail of the second. I think that BtVS had a great high concept which was very much about how highschool (it had already turned tp crap by the time they got to college IMO) was the real horror, you know? I think that the quality was also inversely proportional to the amount of 'mythology' they dredged up. Don't get me wrong, I think that mythologies have their place, just that that the Buffy/Angel one was often gratuitous, a creative crutch and not particularly well-thought out to boot (it didn't seem robust enough to support the epic aspirations).
