Fine, I'll start the damn thread. I have no shame. I'm the guy that's seen every episode of One Tree Hill, has My Boys on Tivo season pass and has watched John Tucker Must Die at least 4 times.


So, I actually wasn't going to watch this show, thinking that even I have my limits, but after watching Idol on tivo (not hard line limits, gimme a break here) Glee was on in the background while I was doing something and the little dark haired girl, the lead, said or did something that caught my attention, and BAM, I was sucked in. So, I tivoed it, season passed it, watched it later that night and really liked it. I liked that they did a Journey song at the end, I think the lead girl is sorta, kinda cute, (speaking of which, I need to IMDB her to make sure she's at least 18) the teacher, Mr Schu is amusing and of course, Jane Lynch I think her name is, is awesome. I just love her delivery. When she told the other teacher that her bitterness is "deeelicious" it just slayed me.

So anyway, My name is Ron, I liked Glee and I'm a homosexual.

HI RON


EDIT: Lea Michele, born August 29th 1986. I'm in the clear. Phew

I used to be embarrased about some of the shows I watch.

Not anymore though. What the hell Ron? Seriously?

back off, I had sex with two different girls in a 72 hour span last week. One girl got done TWICE. Suck on that.


Lead girl looks jewish. Speedz, Caney, have I been in SoFL too long or am I dead on with this one. Lea Michele

I'm so upset. No episode next week. WTF?

where do you even find these shows?

taped it - show was just a preview before it runs in the fall

Gheyest show I've ever watched (and liked)...new thread idea?

damn near a gilf.

first, you watching it doesn't help my self esteem.
second, THAT'S BULLSHIT. HOW CAN THEY TEASE ME LIKE THAT?




fo sure. Me still likey because she's playing a sophomore in high school. SCORE

Weekly girl scouts meeting.

This. Also Ron, apparently Fox was tracking twitter, facebook, and other sites to see peoples reaction to Glee and according to some report it was the most 'talked' about show of the night... even higher than Idol and Dancing with the Stars which both pulled twice the audience. Apparently Fox was thrilled by this and they are planning to lengthen the season. I'll try to find the link again.

this makes me happy in the pants, among other places

[x] Watched it.
[x] Liked it.

UPDATED: The preview of Fox's new musical dramedy "Glee" posted a decent stand-alone number, though it lost a large portion of its lead-in from the "American Idol" finale.

The advanced look at Fox's new series, which officially premieres next fall, lost more than half the "Idol" audience. "Glee" was seen by 9.6 million viewers and drew a 3.9 rating among adults 18-49. By comparison, the "Idol" performance finale drew 23.8 million with an 8.6 rating.

For "Idol," it was the competition's lowest-rated finale ever, including its first season, which aired in the summer.

Comparing "Glee" to past Fox shows is tricky, but last year "Hell's Kitchen" performed a 5.2 rating out of the "Idol" finale.

Fox has positioned the "Glee" airing as a marketing initiative rather than a ratings grab and had staffers monitoring iTunes, blogs and Twitter to gauge reaction to the show. "It was the No. 1 topic all night on 'Twitter,' " read a Fox email.

Spokesperson Joe Earley said the network was pleased with the numbers and public response.

"The measurement for success last night was never about the demo rating," Earley said. "We're definitely happy with the way 'Glee' performed, we knew how tough the competition was going to be, last night was a marketing experiment and we got almost 10 million people to see it, which is fantastic. We could work all summer long marketing the show and not get those many people, and certainly not in the fall."

Given the preview's heavy promotion and selection as the network's only new drama in the fall, however, Fox was doubtless hoping the preview would generate a more optimistic number.

"Glee" was dominated by the finale of "Dancing With the Stars" (20.1 million, 5.2), which ruled the rest of the evening. "Dancing" came into the neighborhood of the "Idol" tally among total viewers and matched its ratings from last year.

CBS had the solid season finales of "NCSI (16.1 million, 3.4), "The Mentalist" (16.8 million, 3.7) and the series finale of "Without a Trace" (11.3 million, 2.5). NBC had repeats and "Law & Order: SVU" (6.7 million, 2.4). The CW aired a low-rated episode of "Reaper" (1.8 million, 0.7) and the "90210" finale (2.1 million, 1.0).

I'm not ashamed that I was filled with Glee at some of their song choices.

ouch.

Who?

FWIW, not only did I not watch the show, I haven't even heard of it before I saw the article I posted and this thread.... I don't watch a lot of TV, but I follow pop culture closely.


FYI, "Don't Stop Believin'" by the Glee cast is the #1 song download on itunes as of today. That's pretty amazing.

thats cuz Dont Stop Believin is such a good song. I was at a wedding that was dead until they played that song. All of a sudden everyone was dancing and singing along. great tune.

Glee was good not great. I can already tell the subplot between main character and his crazy wife will annoy me. enjoyed some of the dark high school humor.

Also, Ron you have no reason to be ashamed of watching My Boys. Thats a GREAT show.

yeah, the wife is a real twat


and My Boys does have it's moments of solid dialogue, but keep in mind, I'm a single, nearly 37 year old man. Not gay, I hope

DVR cut off can someone tell me what happens after the teacher comes in and sees them singing the Journey song

Also is Rehab a glee club appropriate song?

that happened to me as well and I've been too lazy to go to Fox.com and check out the ending

I thought the Rehab song was hysterical. the fact that it is not really Glee appropriate made it so much better.

i'm more ghey than you - he just said he was coming back

how about the dumb ass wife pouring champagne to tell her husband she's pregnant - why not smoke cigars too?

Yeah well, I think that's part of the plot points, that she was lying about the baby just to get a reaction.

and I just watched the ending on FOX.com


I don't know the Rehab song

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think your depressed,
kiss me here baby and go rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

So I was bored last night and watched this pilot. It was bad, and had a lot of different bad things about it, but I really thought some of the jokes were very funny. I feel like there were at least 3 really good ones but the only one I can remember right now is that when the closeted* football singer and his single mom treated themselves, it was a guy who spray paints your dirt yard green.

*If they seriously try to pass this dude off as the straight guy who sings his little heart out in the shower after football practice, but really guys he's dating the Christian girl who won't get it on until marriage...riiiiiight.

Hilarity ensues!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

yeah, you're right. We should all be grumpy veterinary poop boys

Hey, there's no need to get angry about it.

I enjoyed it. No surprise there, I suppose.

OH YOU KNOW IT. IT'S BACK

New ep next Wednesday.

Directors cut of pilot was on Wednesday. I recorded it. Watching it now, for the third time. THAT'S HOW I DO.

I didn't think the football singer's voice was very good at all, which made the plot of the glee club trying to get him into the club so hard, not a very good plot line. I enjoyed the show aside from that though.

come on, he's good enough for the show's purposes. This has the potential to be a really good, dark(er) comedy. And, as a true white person, when I hear Journey my central nervous system overloads and I start doing spasmic jew dances and singing along. So that was great.

Not everyone in a certain high school is an opera quality singer. If anyone in high school could simply sing in tune the musical AND drama teachers were hounding them constantly to join. I still haven't seen an episode, but this doesn't seem far fetched at all.


Is the show even set in high school? Or is it college?

high school....but it's tv so the actors are all college aged or older of course.

It may not be far fetched but the problem is the hot chick totally overpowers him. She's going to drown him out every time they sing together.

Oh, and I enjoyed the show. Definitely has potential.

Fav line when the lead guy was worried about the reaction of the football team: "They once pinned a guy down and shaved off his eyebrows just for watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy."

Is that what the deal was? I kept watching the episode thinking "I don't remember that happening...I don't remember that either...what's going on here?"

I'm gay enough to like this show, just hope it doesn't end up falling way short of potential like many/most shows about high school do.

I'm not looking forward to becoming old and liking this.

enjoyed the 2nd episode a lot. Some very funny moments.

i thought the music kinda sounded fake this week esp golddigger no way was he rapping that

It all felt very lip-synched, to be sure.

I'm loving this show. Not sure how they'll ever top "Don't Stop Believin" though. This show is so fun and feel-good, and the cast is awesome. I love the chick from Heroes (remember she was Hiro's girlfriend before she got whacked?)

Oh man, I rarely, if ever disagree with your tastes but this was pretty bad. The comedy didn't really work and then trying to make it serious
just flubbed big time for me.

music was cheesy was the rest was very very good

Loved the teacher telling Rachel that her not having a gag reflex would come in handy in the future

also, Jane Lynch is gold on screen, not to mention the names of those brochures

I like the cheesy music, except the rap scene was pretty painful to watch. Every scene with the woman from 40 Year Old Virgin is pure gold.

It is my recommendation that these students be hobbled. Awesome.

Yes, of course I'm on board.

Sigh.

It's hard enough finding a woman who wants to touch my junk without turning into a 43-year-old gay.

Another Heroes connection - Shuster's wife played Claire's real mother.

you guys all bragged about how gay you were and then after two weeks no one comments on the show - heteros!
