Glee!!!!

Hey all,

I love this show. There's only been four episodes, but I am hooked. The show follows a glee club that is down on its luck. The show begins when a former glee club member who was on the national team 15 years ago takes it over. This man is Will Shuster. When he holds auditions, he only gets five members. There is the amazing Rachel who expects to be a star, but sings and acts like one. She is arguably the main character of the high school students. There is also Mercedes (the black girl with an amazing voice who is also a bit of a diva), Tina (a stuttering Asian), Kurt (an effeminate, fashionable tenor), and Artie (a kid in a wheel chair). It's a rag tag group, but it's all Will has. That is, until he hears Finn the quarterback singing a Journey song. Soon, he blackmails him into joining glee. At first, Finn doesn't want to be there, but he quickly learns to love it.

There are other supporting characters as well: Emma who is another teacher who happens to love Will. There is also Terri who is Will's wife. She is whiny, high maintenance, and lovably flawed. There is also Ken who is the head football coach. Finishing out the high school staff is Sue who coaches an amazing cheer leading squad. She is played by Jane Lynch to perfection and has become increasingly extreme yet hilarious. Finally, there is the other side of high school which includes the football players and Cheerios (cheerleaders) who regularly torment the glee club members. It's interesting how these worlds collide. I love the show. Check it out. 10/10
