Feeling Gleeful

By Jenn on 1 October 2009

While Ryan and I don’t watch too much TV, we do have our shows that we always catch on Hulu or Netflix. (Does anyone watch normal TV anymore?) Heroes gets me with its plot twists and 30 Rock makes me laugh until I can’t breathe, but the show that really makes me giddy is Glee.

I think it has everything to do with the music. See for yourself.

(Sorry about the ads. But it’s worth it to see this clip, I promise. And, Sam, I have no idea how you could hate this show.)

    I think I would really like this show. It always makes me happy when people start singing randomly in shows/movies.

    Do you need me to explain it?

    Perhaps it has gotten better, but that season premier was so awful that I don’t even care.

    Kellie, I totally think you’d like it—there’s all sorts of spontaneous songs. I totally believe that someday Glee is going to be written into a Broadway musical.

    Sam, maybe you could soften your heart and give it another chance? You’ve got to admit that the music is awesome.

    No!! The music is one of the worst parts! The singing sounds SO fake! That much quality-sounding music could never come out of one keyboard, that deep voice could never come out of that wheel-chair kid, and when the main character guy sings a Kanye song he suddenly has the voice of a black man!

    Jenn thank you for posting this. We actually just had time to watch last weeks episode last night and oh my gosh! This show makes me seriously so happy!! Such fabulous music. I only have one teeny tiny complaint about the show, but in an effort not to spoil anything for anyone trying to catch up… I’ll have to tell you about it when I see you in just over a week!

    Blog War indeed!

    “Sense of Humor”?? Where is the humor in Celibacy Club (stupidest idea ever), a Salt-n-Peppa song (which have always been stupid), a scrawny, nerdy, wheel-chair bound kid with a normal speaking voice but a singing voice deeper than Thurl Bailey’s (implausibly stupid), and I guy who is too stupid to realize his wife has a pillow under her shirt a not a fetus (indescribably stupid)?!?

    Glee takes place in a universe where people don’t have brains. And if you keep watching it, you’re going to become like them! Medicine abuse is bad for brain cells…
