Glee: A Homerun for T.V. Networks
I know it's not normal for me to blog about a t.v. show, but I felt I should blog about this show because it's awesome. So basically, Glee is about the McKinnely High School in Ohio. It follows the life of basically every glee club member including the teacher, Mr. Schuester(a.k.a. Mr. Schue) Mr. Schue is a young spanish teacher who started the glee club because of his past experiences with glee. He holds open auditions and eventually gets the exact number of members to compete in nationals, a glee competition in which he has to win to keep the glee club going. There are and estimated 12 members or more. Finn is one of the center-of-the-stage characters in the show. He is a popular football player and joined glee because of his talented voice. He has a girlfriend named Quinn, the head cheerleader, who he knocked up on accident and Quinn was forced of the cheerleading squad because of her pregnancy. Rachel is a wannabe singing star who is always trying to get the lead role in every singing number. She is usually an annoyance to the glee club, but at times she can be helpful. She also has a major crush on Finn, but inside she knows it can't workout because of Quinn. Mercedes is a loveable person, who usually has the main singing role in mist of the R&B numbers. She is constantly helping out the other members of the club and is usually involved in solving a problem. Artie is the handicapped glee member who is, like Mercedes, a problem solver, but due to his handicap, he needs to be constantly helped by other members, especially in music numbers. Kurt is the gay, yet reliable, member of the glee club. He and Rachel are major enemies, but at times help each other out. Kurt also has a crush on Finn, but knows it can't workout because Finn is not into men. Puck is Finn's best friend and teammate on the football team. Puck is also in the glee club and he is actually the father of Quinn's baby, but Finn doesn't know that yet. There are a few other members of the glee club, but they are minor characters most of the time. Terry is Mr. Schuester's wife, and she is a very tough person, yet loveable. Sue is the cheerleading coach and for an odd reason, an enemy of the glee club. She is a tough coach, and a town celebrity because of her winning streak in cheerleading competitions. Emma is the school counselor and a good friend of Mr. Schuester. She often helps him with glee club problems and she also has a crush on Mr. Schue. The show usually has at least 4 musical numbers in the show, and is praised for the wonderful music choices. The show is actually very realistic in the choices the characters make. Finn has to make choices between if he likes Quinn or Rachel. He always chooses Quinn because she is carrying his baby (or so he thinks). Quinn has to choose between Finn and Puck, the actual father of the child. She chooses Finn because he is loyal to her unlike Puck, who is sexting other cheerleaders. Mr. Schue has to choose between Emma and his wife. He always chooses his wife because he is a married man and he knows he can't go sneaking around with Emma. There is a secret between Mr. Schue and his wife. His wife claims she is pregnant, but really she isn't. Instead, she is going to keep Quinn's baby when the baby is born. Quinn has agreed to this because she feels she is too young to keep a baby. Until the baby is born, Terry has to wear a device that makes her look like she is pregnant. These choices and secrets keep the story going. Not to mention the amazing music. This show, is smart, witty, funny, and dramatic. That is what makes this show so good. I give it 5 stars for everything. Finally, T.V. has created an original show.
