Glee

I've never been too into TV. OK, I do have my "Idol" obsession, and I enjoy "The Office," but those were just as much social events for my friends and I as they were story lines for me to follow.

But, I have found the perfect TV show. It's called "Glee" and it debuted after "Idol" (of which I missed most of. Silly job. Gotta watch it online tomorrow.) - it reaches out to all of those who did musicals and show choir in high school. Which I did. It also features Lea Michele, the powerhouse lead of "Spring Awakening" fame. From the first note of "On My Own," the girl oozes talent but plays such an awkward character, it hurts to hear her speak. The sympathy pains of teenage years gone by resurface in uncomfortable glory. Plus, the music arrangements are kickin'.

Then there is the goofy-cute motivational teacher, Mr. Schuster. All I want for him to do is leave his shrew of a wife and get with the OCD Emma. I think she was in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" and has this really interesting voice that's sort of stuck in her throat. That was a terrible movie. On "Glee," thought, she's adorable with her tidy wipes and Lysol.
And I have to wait until fall to see more episodes of it? 

Now, I finally watched the season finale of "House," actually while I was typing about "Glee." Man, House is in for it. Bringing Kutner in at the end was great, though watching House walk into that hospital made me rather sad, especially coupled with Cameron and Chase's wedding. By the by, loved Cameron's dress; it was so pretty and tasteful. I'm not sure I'll watch next season without Chelsey to prompt me, but this was a good one and I would like to know what becomes of Cuddy and House...

  1. For the record, about the only TV I watch is several reality shows and reruns of Seinfeld. I taped "Glee" since I was watching the "Dancing with the Stars" finale and watched it today. I loved it! There's nothing like it on TV (perhaps on cable but how would I know). The lead girl reminded me of Idina Menzel but I think they were trying for her to sound like Vanessa from "High Scool Musical". And of course the story is very similar - high school jock/hero and outcast girl shine in musical theater. Lots of interesting quirky characters. I loved it and I loved the music! The show just made me happy and I can't wait for it to be on in the fall.
