Glee, anyone?

OK, so I heard a lot about this show "Glee" over the summer. Seems that one episode was produced at the end of the season as a "teaser" to get everyone all excited about watching it this year? Well, I watched it, and, yeah, I liked it, but not in an unqualified way. I mean, I'm happy for those people who do love it, but it didn't make me feel completely happy or nostalgic - in fact, it made me feel a little sad. Yeah, I was definately a "glee": I practically lived in the choir room. But I felt a little like one of those football jocks who sit and talk about their glory days on the field that will NEVER come again, while WE can sing our hearts out at least a couple of times a week at choir practice and church. But how odd that it's on on Wednesday night, which is generally choir practice night. And it also made me feel a little sad...because, even though we CAN sing on our own or at church, or even in a community choir, it's still not the same. And you KNOW all those chorus kids couldn't grow up to be chorus teachers, there wouldn't be room for them all!

Then there's the problem with the wife. She's just too self-centered to be funny to me. I know people like that, and they are NOT funny at all. And the counselor at the school who's got OCD? Is that supposed to be irony?

Then, on the episode tonight, the kids surprise their teacher by doing RAP at assembly. I'm sorry, but there was no singing in that. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate it, and I'll watch it again, but it's got a ways to go to convince me to become a fan.

So what do you think?
