What is the point of an Internet show if you can’t watch or download it? Unfortunately for Joss Whedon fans that is exactly what happened this morning, his new Internet “webcast” Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion, had so many viewers that the site crashed. International viewers could not watch it, and people willing to pay $1.99 to download it from Itunes couldn’t get it either. Part two and three of the first episode are set to air July 17th and July the 19th, so hopefully they will fix the problems before then.

Episodes of the new show can be seen here, when it is working that is.

Dr. Horrible, a hapless super villain trying to impress Penny, played by Felicia Day, and fighting off his arch nemesis Captain Hammer.
