Opinion

Is the world safe from the evils of Dr. Horrible, or do we still have tuneful reasons to fear his return?

The answer to the question — which has been the subject of debate and anticipation among fans of the online-but-still-sort-of-TV musical-comedy sensation Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog — seems to be yes.

But not soon.

Neil Patrick Harris, who starred in the Joss-Whedon-produced web series that was probably the best thing that came out of the Hollywood writers’ strike, was asked this week if he and the Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse creator will reconnect to do another Dr. Horrible run (earlier reports have said Whedon is interested, particularly now that Dollhouse has ended its prime-time run).

"I keep asking him if it’s going to happen, if there’s going to be any kind of Dr.-Horrible-ness, and they’re anxious to do it," Patrick told a group of TV critics who visited the set of How I Met Your Mother on the last day of the semi-annual TV press tour.

The main issue, said Harris, is finding a time when stars’ and producers’ schedules align.

"We have from April to August off, which isn’t a huge window," he said, "and that’s coming pretty soon, so I wouldn’t expect it to happen this hiatus. But maybe a year from then?"

That’s wonderful. And horrible.

Just wondering …. how many out there were fans of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (which can still be found of iTunes)? And do you want to see more?
