I Like...Glee

I heard about this show first from Nava, my go-to gal on things like this. I wasn't sure what I thought of the trailer, but I was curious so I looked up the sneak preview pilot episode on Fox.com, and let me just say - it rocked. It gives us Mean Girls-style sarcasm (and anyone who knows me knows how I feel about that piece of cinematographic genius) meets Ten Things I Hate About You-satire meets High School Musical jazz numbers where people burst into song randomly...aka a recipe for the BEST SHOW EVER! I hope more people get interested in it so they don't cancel it, because that would just be mean.

Favorite lines from the pilot that convinced me of this show's potential:

Melodramatic jock who wants to be a Broadway star: I don't wanna be just another guy, driving around, throwing eggs at people.

Crazy cheerleading coach who pumps iron and whey protein: YOU THINK CHEERLEADING IS HARD? I LIVE WITH HEPATITIS, THAT'S HARD.

Disinterested principal: You want to take over Glee club? What, do you want to captain the Titanic too?

Put that together with more biting sarcasm and awesome vocals from legitimate Broadway stars, and I think I'm excited for Fall.

Here's my favorite video, but you should watch the full episode to get the full effect :)



And yes, I'm a nerd, but NOT AS BIG OF A NERD AS MUSICAL THEATER-LOVING HUSBAND! :)
