So the pilot for Fox's new show Glee was on this week. It was fan-tastic! It's so refreshing to see a well written, funny, hour long show NOT involving cops or doctors. It was such a tease because the show doesn't actually start until the fall - but it makes me so excited to see the whole season!
The cast is great. Lea Michele who plays Rachel (the over-acheiving musical theater chick. Think Sharpay Evans from HSM only she sits at the loser table instead of the popular table) reminds me of Idina Menzel. She looks like her but she also has an amazingly powerful voice. It's no surprise that she was in the original cast of Spring Awakening.
I also love Matthew Morrison who plays Will, the Spanish teacher who takes over as director of the Glee club. He reminisces back to the days when he was in Glee in high school and has to deal with is super annoying idiot wife.
And ok let me clear things up here. I've never heard of a real high schoo having a glee club. Singers either join choir or sing in musicals. Or, dare I say, join show choir. THAT is what glee club is in this school (which is actually set in Ohio!) Being a proud alum of an Ohio show choir I can definitely relate to this show. It definitely brings back memories of the good ol' days.
Well that's enough explanation. Enjoy the Glee kids singing Journey!!!

Check out the pilot on hulu too - it's so worth it!

By the way the best line has to be "THERE'S NOTHING IRONIC ABOUT SHOW CHOIR!"
