"Glee" Brings A Lot of Joy and an Instant New Obsession to the Small Screen
From the moment it aired right after the "American Idol" finale in May, people have not stopped talking about the new FOX series, "Glee." The pilot episode, at least, got everything right. It created interesting and lovable characters that the audience could easily identify with and put them into situations that were also relatable to its viewers. The show made us laugh, it entertained us and it gave us hope that we can make our world a little brighter. In other words, it completely lived up to its name!
Hopefully, the new episodes that begin on Wednesday, September 9, will be just as good. They show centers around a teacher, Will Shuester, whose heart is actually in the right place. He wants his students to be passionate about something and good at something. He takes over the Glee Club, an extracurricular activity that he once loved as well. The students that sign up for the club have very different backgrounds and goals. They also have a few things in common like the love of music and the desire to be the best at something in their lives.
In this episode, titled "Showmance," the club performs for the school for the first time. Rachel isn't the only one to recognize her feelings for Finn and Will's wife offers another round of surprising news.
Of course, another bonus for viewers is the great music this ensemble cast showcases. Yet another reason to tune in, as if you needed one more.
If you missed the pilot, you can check it out at www.Itunes.com or pick up a copy of the DVD at Wal-Mart. (You can also order it from www.Walmart.com) While you are at Itunes, you can also download some of the songs from the show.
Tune into FOX at 9:00PM on Wednesday, September 9 to see what the buzz is about!
