There are countless ways to characterize “Glee”: “Election” with music, “Bring It On” meets “High School Musical,” or even a lunchroom version of “The Breakfast Club.” The success of a high school comedy doesn’t lie in its originality, but in how cleverly it contorts the classic formula. “Glee,” a new series on Fox, is blissfully unoriginal in a witty, imaginative way. Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States. It focuses on the high school glee club, New Directions competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality and social issues.
The pilot tells the whole tale: the handsome star quarterback, Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), secretly loves to sing and risks rejection by the cool kids to join the glee club, which is small and made up of unpopular, unattractive misfits. Then we have Lea Michele who stands out as Rachel Berry, the talented and monstrously ambitious self-promoting star singer of the glee club.
The other glee club members are high school archetypes: the quiet Asian girl, the prissy gay boy, the scrawny nerd with big glasses (here, in wheelchair) and a tough, heavy-set African-American girl, Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), who resents singing backup.Mr. Will Schuester played by Matthew Morrison is McKinley High's Spanish teacher and also the coach of Glee Club.
However, Glee Club doesnt gets around the school easily. Students look down on the new club and give the members no support. The number glee nemesis is none other than Coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lycnh) She hated Glee Club for causing the cut of the annual school budget that was meant for her cheer-leading team, Cheerios. The story goes on and on, so instead of me blabbering to you what is Glee all about, why not you folks use this weekend and watch it yourself.
Thats all from me today. Have a nice weekend ahead my friends.
Cheers!
