*Glee is FOX's latest addition to the line-up of fall programming and, without question, truly reigns as the best new thing on TV.
Personally, I don't even watch television that often. I've lost hope for decent programming, as most television developers succumb to lazy standards and produce cyclical seasons of talent contests (dancing or singing - take your pick and style) or love-triangle (circle, hexagon or octagon in many cases) "reality" shows in which the most popular, insane, or memorable cast member is provided his or her own show for the next season. It's all a mess!
Glee, however, is not. Its brilliant humor, witty writing, and handsomely fit cast showcase the massive amount of thought and creativity that went into this show.
The program revolves around several high school students and their teacher who staff the glee club - an organization whose members sing popular songs while remaining at the bottom of their high school's social hierarchy system. As Jane Lynch, playing the ardently aggressive cheerleaders' coach, puts it so hilariously, they are in the "sub-basement" of the school.
Collaboratively, this program's dynamic cast vividly dominates the show's energy with their ability to charm and entertain. Each character resonates adolescent reality and provides audiences with a group of fictional friends to root for each new week.
Really, there is nothing more to say. I'm officially at a loss for words at the moment, most of which is a result of my exhaustive week preparing for residents and check-in, but I also cannot elucidate the right way to describe Glee because it just that darn amazing.
