You've Got To Be Kidding Me...

My new favorite show this year happens to be Glee. This show is so witty. Personally, I love it. It makes the "rejects" in high school have some to understand with. Looking back on high school, which wasn't that long ago, I enjoyed my time there. Yes, there was drama, but what high school doesn't have their respected drama. Glee is so well put together. Personally, I think it's helping schools bringing out the arts which I love. I don't know if anyone knows this, but I went to a grammar school and high school that believed that the arts were important. And, they are. If it wasn't for the arts, I don't think I would have been able to have branch out as much. I found friends who had common interests as me, music. Watch an episode of Glee and you'll be hooked. This show is something for all ages. Trust me, my friend Jeni, Brian, and my mom all gather around the TV and watch this. I dare you to find something that you don't like about this show. Now for my you've got to be kidding part. There's only two episodes of Glee left this season. But when does the new season start, according to sources, Glee will be on a long hiatus. UNTIL APRIL 13, 2010. Bad move FOX. This show is the reason I turn on your station (minus So You Think You Can Dance). Are you really expecting people to be that enamored with Idol? I think not. American Idol is like Vanilla, something that we can always turn on and be amused. But, Glee, Glee on the other hand is that chocolate that we will always enjoy. What we come to week to week to see because we just can't get enough. We want to see what crazy thing Jane Lynch's character, Sue Sylvester or Amber Riley, Mercedes will belt out. You won't get that with Idol, Fox.

Being the Gleek, that I am, I read the blogs. When on one of the fan sites I come across a video where Cory Monetith explains that FOX doesn't allow the Glee kids to sing outside of Glee. Wow Fox! I understand why you do it, but then won't more people watch your show if they know that these people can sing on the spot? I guess not. Cory has done a great job so far with the show. He plays the football player, turned somewhat baby daddy, lead singer of the glee club. I'm sure working with Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison, both seasoned Broadway actors has to be intimidating. But, he has seriously held his own. I'm impressed with him and I can't wait to see what he ends up doing after Glee. I know he's certainly happy with all of the attention that he's been getting. It'll be interesting to see what his next job/project will be.

Another guy that I love on this show is Chris Colfer. He is brilliant. He's that stereotypical gay on TV, but has so many other layers that make him likable to anyone. I am so happy that FOX found him. Something that they actually did right. I guess the one thing that I like is that he's an out of the closet gay. Not to mention, that he likes his character. This show, during one episodes Kurt, comes out to his dad. Personally, I think the more this happens to TV, the easier it will be for more kids to come out to their parents, because it will be easier for parents to "accept" them. However, FOX seems to make Chris keep it on the DL that he's gay. I don't see that as a problem Chris, in fact, I'm happy that you embrace it. Check out this interview with Chris.

Well, I think this is enough Glee for some of you. But, seriously check this show out while you can. I think you'll really enjoy it.
