Oh Happy Day....: Glee

Dear Glee, It's not me, It's you!

I am now sad to say that I used to promote Glee right here on this very blog. I know right! Please don’t judge me. It really was a good show. . . you know, back in season one. Now, I am not loving it at all.

I realized that I’m fast forwarding most of the songs and as my friend pointed out - the acting is not so amazing. There are no really gripping plot lines any more (I'm missing Mr. Shu and Ms. Pillsbury). Now the songs are slow, boring, Bruno Mars (ewww) or something I’ve never heard of, and worst of all - there is no real point to the characters stories.

The only fun part about Glee is Sue Sylvester. She’s absolutely crazy and it’s awesome. But really, I could just watch the highlights of her antics on hulu or something. Why do I continue to watch this show? I dunno. I may continue to fast forward and catch the highlights, but I'm thinking that too will fade. So, after coming to these realizations, I think I'm going to have to break up with Glee. So here goes. . .

Dear Glee,

It's not me - It's you! I’m not sure I can just quit you cold turkey, but you’re running on thin ice here pal. Your singers are amazing and I like your characters but I need more if I’m going to spend time with you every week. So. . . I guess what I'm saying is - Shape up or I'm shipping out.

Sorry,
Stef

If You're Happy And You Know It. . .

Imagine a motley crew of high school mis-fits, cheerleaders and football players who are trying to be cool (or stay cool) but can’t help from breaking out in song and dance. Sound familiar? Well I’m not talking about High School Musical I’m talking about the new Fox show GLEE! It’s WAY different and WAY better than HSM1,2, or 3. This show is cheesy. . . but hilarious. You have to watch it… give it 2 episodes and you’ll be hooked!

The show is starting to have a following. The cast members are all singers and actors and there are a few broadway stars in the cast so the singing is actually good. You can buy their music on iTunes and they have several songs within the top 100 songs being downloaded on iTunes.

You can watch the epidsodes on hulu.com or check out this clip:
