Posted on by

I was re-watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog today when I suddenly realized that I had never reviewed it.

Felicia Day is known mainly for her work with Joss Whedon (Buffy Season 7, Dollhouse and of course Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), but she wasn’t happy with the roles available for her. So she decided that the best way to rectify that problem was to create her own series. Knowing that it was unlikely that she could get a network to fund her, she decided to do her own web series.
