Glee Review

It's unfortunate that Fox decided to launch this show as a preview only.  Giving us a taste trying to hook us through the long and sometimes dry TV schedule of the summer.

That being said I sincerly hope that this show will not fizzle and fade in the endless vaccum of summer.

Bottom line, this show has POTENTIAL!!!!

Either the simplicity of the vision of this show was on purpose which makes the writers genious, or it was by accident, which in my book still makes them genious!  It's so rare for a show to have a instant connection with a broad audience.  

The show takes place at a highschool where all the funding goes to the cheerleading team.  So a teacher who's first love of teaching happens to also be a love a music has to use his own poket money to save the glee club from failing.  The absolute brilliance of this show is the simplicity in it's writing.  I think it attempts to build drama however it does it so off the cuff that it has the audience laughing.  The comedy is intelligent, and sometimes obvious and that's what makes it funny.  I actually found myself laughing outloud!  Chop full of a cast of realtively unknowns which at least by my count is a smart thing for a show like this.  

Again with much dismay it appears that this show will not have a limited run in the summer season but will come back this fall on your local fox stations.  In the mean time if you are interested they have the full length show avaible on the web via a fox affilate.
