Fox’s New Show “Glee”
So I must admit I was a skeptic when I heard that Fox was producing a show about a high school glee club. I heard it was sort of a mix of “Freaks & Geeks” meets “High School Musical.” I did tune in and actually quite enjoyed the show. It made me laugh, it has some compelling story-lines and great music. I’m assuming each episode is going to have different music. This one featured a huge production number of “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse as well as the glee club singing their rendition of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, amongst others. I have high hopes for this show, as it hits a broad target. I’m sure the kids and tweens will like it’s “High School Musical” feel, and the adults may even enjoy it for this reason as well. I just hope that they don’t keep the story too clean, I mean this is Fox, let’s get edgy here! It just surprises me that this show is from Ryan Murphy, who also does “Nip/Tuck.” Then again, if anyone remembers the show “Popular” from way back on The WB, this isn’t surprising at all. Things tend to come full circle. Anyways, I look forward to the fall for new episodes.
