I'm a fan of the vlogbrothers on Youtube. GO NERDFIGHTERS! They had an episode where one of the brothers and his wife did a cover of "My Eyes". I was completely enamored with the song. So right after I went on goggle and found Dr. Horrible. I burned through the entire thing and LOVED it. Forced everyone I know to watch it too. Even sat behind my roommate to make sure she got started. It really was the first thing done by Joss Whedon that I really loved. Buffy soon followed. Alright guys: How did you find the man with a P.H.D in Horribleness?

DFTBA By the time Dr. Horrible was ready to be viewed, I was a huge fan of Joss's, so I was all over the news about it. I was among those first-day viewers who crashed the servers when Act I first became available for viewing. Good times.

Ditto. Except for the crashing part. I dl'd it from iTunes the following day I think. AMAZING! I showed it to my boyfriend who isn't the biggest Whedon fan and he loved it too!

I kept hearing about it on the boards so one day I was on Hulu and I just said "Oh what the hell" so I saw it and loved it! my favorite song is still Freeze Ray.

This website introduced me to it. I was looking at the Whedon section and the only thing there that I had not seen before was Dr. Horrible. I was like "where did this come from?" and so I downloaded it and loved it ;D

I actually first discovered the trailer for Dr. Horrible through Facebook. I can't remember if it was a friend or the Buffy fan page but someone posted a link and I watched it. I got so excited. The trailer looked hilarious and the music instantly dragged me in and didn't let go.
I watched the episodes online at the Dr. H website, then I bought the itunes versions and hopefully I'll get the DVD for my birthday. I would have brought the DVD myself by now, but I kept putting it off and since my birthday is next month it seemed more logical to just put it on my wishlist.

I found it through TvTropes. By that time, I had only seen about half of Buffy and most of Angel. So, I looked up Joss Whedon on TvTropes to see if they had pages on his other work, and they had their Dr. Horrible page linked. I clicked, read a little about it, and clicked the link to the website (by that time, it was already over, and they had the entire thing on Hulu). I watched it, loved it, and became an even bigger Joss fan! ;D

It's like a recipe for awesome, isn't it? Absolutely required whenever I rewatch. It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for a reason.

Yesterday! And damn that was a good day. Before I had no idea what Dr Horrible was, then I heard musical and I thought "meh" (Didn't know it was from Whdeon). And now when I think about it I can't remember what made me look for it on youtube, wierd. Ok so then I see that Neil Patrick Harris is on it, Yay! I just finished my How I met your mother S1 & 2 this summer and of course, digged Barney. And the clip I saw was My freeze ray haha, made the morning so chilling sweet. Felicia Day from the guild?! Why have I not watched this before? Next clip: Hey, it's Nathan Fillion =D I haven't seen the whole musical blog yet, I've tried to get a hold on a R2 Dvd but it looks like it doesn't excist

Geez, I can't even remember when I first heard about it... a few months after I'd finished BtVS & Angel, so spring '08 perhaps? By the time July rolled around, I was UBER stoked for this. And the wait was so incredibly worth it!

i was already into Buffy, Firefly and Angel, and a friend of mine who was aswell kept asking me if i had watched Dr Horrible yet i didn't know it was a Whedon thing because i wasn't really keeping up with news, so i kept saying i'll get around to it then as soon as i found out it was Whedon and there was Felicia Day and Neil Patrick Harris i watched it straight away!

I believe I discovered it through interviews I saw on youtube. Everybody kept prefacing their questions at panels and things with 'by the way Dr. Horrible is awesome' and I was like, what? eventually I found it on youtube and fell in love with instantly. I'm glad I did too because it was what got me to watch firefly. I didn't watch it originally because I didn't think I would like a sci-fi show...wrong again, it was also fantastic. Dr. Horrible I guess is what made me a full on Joss Whedon disciple.

I think it's just one of those things that I keep telling myself I need to do, and I keep putting it off. Okay, I'm streaming it from youtube in the background now... Act 1. Here we go...
