The World of Glee

What is the secret behind the success of a television series like Glee? There is singing, dancing, high school drama and cheerleaders. It sounds more like every other series, but instead, the show offers refreshingly witty dialogue and plenty of comedy. Of course, the outstanding soundtrack of weekly downloadable songs the cast cover is nothing to look down upon. In fact, songs from this show are listed as top sellers on I-tunes for anyone looking for new music to become addicted to. Might I suggest, Glee's rendition of "Somebody to Love" or the classic "Don't Stop Believing". In general, the story-lines are a little absurd starting with a boy being convinced that he got his girlfriend pregnant from a make out session in a hot tub (and yes, they were wearing bathing suits and only kissing) and the entire Glee club using pseudoephedrine to raise everyone's energy level creating a frighteningly energetic bunch of teenagers that go a little too far in the name of competition. Like most shows with teenage characters, the actors look much older than the sophomores they are supposed to be playing. Still, I wouldn't trade this cast even for a more age-appropriate one especially with Lea Michele, who plays Rachel, singing and looking like a very close relation to the amazingly talented Idina Menzel. My suggestion would be to check out Glee Wednesday nights at 9p.m. on Fox, even if it is only for the musical numbers that will be stuck in your head until the following week's download becomes available.
