Glee Description

If Internet buzz is any indication, Glee is destined to be a hit.  The IMDB page is already loaded with five pages and impatient fans.  And various articles are throwing around phrases like “highly anticipated.”

It figures.  Disney has already proven that anything with teenagers and singing is likely to be a huge money maker.

So what is this already-popular show about?  Glee stars Broadway vet Matthew Morrison as Will Schuester, a high school teacher who is sure he can turn the school’s small glee club – once award-winning, now a dumping ground for student outcasts – into one that can win the national title.  While most of the group are only fit for back-up, two of the students easily take center stage: pretty, confident, yet largely ignored Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), and Troy Bolton wannabe Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), who shocks his football team when he finds passion for musical numbers.  Most think Will is nuts, and maybe he is, for taking on this group, including his wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) and the school cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).   He does have one supporter in another teacher, Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays).  For a more lengthy description, go to the official Glee site at FOX.

I’m going to review the pilot when it airs again September 2 (however, that is only speculation based on this IMDB thread).  But for those who can’t wait:

WATCH GLEE PILOT ON HULU

(Sorry for not knowing how to embed Hulu videos.  Anyone know how and willing to explain it to me?)

And a promo for the season.  The second episode airs September 9th, again according to that IMDB thread:

I actually did enjoy the pilot when it aired- comedy, music, what’s not to like?  My only worry is that it might get old after a whole season, so here’s hoping they keep the plots  fresh.
