Post 3 - "Glee"

so about 6 weeks ago i came across this tv show that no one in this land of dutch has heard of probably because they are a season or two behind in tv shows, and they just watch different things.

anyhooters enter 'Glee', which sounds really fruitcakey but its actually really well written and executed. its funny and clever and original, and hey even the critics are liking it and so that's got to mean something, not much but something. Ryan Murphy creator of Nip tuck is the big guy behind all this and not that i ever watched Nip tuck cause i have this thing about needles and botox but it seems to come at a good time with everyone being so jacked up about shows that involve singing and/or dancing and/or "reality" this is is to be embraced. (die, dancing with the stars/ fame/ step up2, die.)

the ratings have been really solid for the show so obviously people are picking up on it, which is great cause its about time they brought out some good new stuff. also an interesting little tid bit is according to some reports on the net 'Glee' is helping out the music industry or digital-music sales cause the songs that appear on the show are popular and because its the number 1 hit show with females between 18 and 30 something which, happens to be the range that likes to buy music of the net. go figure! yay 'Glee'

to tell you a bit about it [and dont get put off by it cause ya it does seem a little yucky when the general plot is outlined but the characters are really great]: "GLEE, a new comedy for the aspiring underdog in all of us. The series follows an optimistic teacher, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), who -- against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach -- attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential." that's how fox describes it.
