Glee - I think I'm in love ...
I think I finally found the long awaited replacement for Buffy for my TV love.  Glee is the most superfantabulous show ever.  I have to admit, at first I was skeptical.  Mainly because 1. It's on Fox; 2. It was hyped like crazy; 3.  They were using American Idol to pimp the show.  And really, a one-hour comedy about a Glee club?  Really?  I am happy to report I could not have been more wrong.  Of course, being a theatre geek, the fact they were pulling in a bunch of Broadway performers was a great choice.  Lea Michele literally hits you in the face with her talent - she reminds me of a young Idina Menzel.  But what was even better was the writing.  The character is the best high school bitch since Tracy Flick from Election.  I loved her background story about her two dads.  The rest of the casting is just as pitch-perfect (if you'll pardon the pun).  Janet Lynch as the cheerleading coach is awesome.  And it was fun spotting the ex-Heroes starts (I think I counted three).  Do yourself a favor - watch this show.  It's funny with a wicked (or should I say Wicked) twist.

Interesting... see, I heard about it briefly when they were hyping it up as the lead-into (or was that follow-up) of IDOL. And for some reason, I immediately resented it, so I didn't watch. (Mostly because I'm upset with FOX over some decisions they've been making lately.) Anywhoo... after reading your review, I'm thinking I'll have to give it a try. =)
