Inspired casting, great music, not sure how they'll be able to sustain it for a full season, though.

That was my thought too. The casting is perfect so far, but I wonder how big they are gonna grow the Glee club as the show progresses. |

The cast is too uneven as far as singing and dancing is concerned if they want to continue that. The Journey piece was definitively great but the guy completely sunk compared to the girl.

So whats it about? Vampire Hunters, Robots from the future, or snarky professionals?
Give me something. Right now it sounds like High School Musical, the series.

I walked in when my roommate was watching the end. All I could think was "This was better on Family Guy."
I can't believe Terminator died so that shit like this could exist.

Yes he's the only one of them that's not a seasoned performer in real life and it shows. However it does fit his character's background. He's just a jock that likes singing to himself in the shower. The girl on the other hand has been doing this since she was a toddler (on the show). Give me something. Right now it sounds like High School Musical, the series.
The blurb from the FOX site: From Ryan Murphy, the creator of "Nip/Tuck" and "Popular," comes GLEE, a one-hour musical comedy that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of all: Nationals.
Will Schuester, a young optimistic teacher, has offered to take on the Herculean task of restoring McKinley's Glee Club to its former glory. Everyone around him thinks he's nuts. He's out to prove them all wrong.

I didn't expect to like it at all, but I thought it was entertaining.

Yep, it's part of the marketing for the show. Seems to have been a good choice, it's getting alot of "buzz".

So, I was bored with the lack of new TV series for my rowing workout and I actually thought better than nothing.
That actually worked for me, I think the understated humor did it. "We never found out who my real dad is"

Ookii denned my repeat thread, but I like it for its likeness to Election. I lolled at the first and second episodes. It doesn't try too hard, which is a nice change.

It's a fun show, the main girl is adorable. But I don't know how they can sustain it either. The female coach is amusing too.

Indeed. The OCD teacher girl is sadly the most dynamic of the crew. Every single person on that show is built so one-dimensional it almost pains me to watch. I give it one more episode before I go on my merry way. --and can someone please explain to me why the cheerleaders wear their uniforms EVERY SINGLE DAY? I get the underlying purpose, but is it really THAT necessary? |

I can't think of any reason why you'd complain about those uniforms. Maybe they have a low costume budget.
Yeah, last night's episode wasn't that great, but I'm hoping it was just a lull.

I think it's awesome that you watch those shows. You're in touch with whatever side it is that covers that sort of thing. You should be proud of it!  |

The show is horrid in the 30s promos they put on TV and the radio. I can't imagine sitting through a full episode for an hour.
But then again they gave it more of a chance than anything with a remote Sci-Fi fanbase, so it's got legs.

It is a campy musical melodrama.
That formula has worked for getting eyeballs into seats in this country for 125 years.
You don't have to think, you get to laugh, and you see pretty girls singing and dancing around. Very much in the formula that has been selling out musical comedies since the late 1800s.

Sorry, 7 semesters of theatre history classes in college/grad school. One of which was entirely devoted to the crap that was considered American Theatre in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I can see this surviving for a while despite itself just based on what it's up against. The alternatives are SVU, The new Ed O'Neil show followed by "Cougar Town" , and Criminal Minds. Seems like it'll capture a nice niche and live on.

I may survive the season up against those other shows sure, but I can see it getting moved to Friday nights next season (which is the death knell for most shows on the alphabet stations).

I can completely see Kristin Chenoweth getting an emmy nod for best guest star for this episode.

I thought last night's episode was excellent as well. Even the musical numbers were entertaining (instead of something I just tolerate).
