I honestly never thought that I would become so completely obsessed with a show ("Boy Meets World" will forever hold that title) but I can't help it! I bought both of the Glee Volumes on CD and belt out every song in the shower every.single.day (sorry roomies!). The characters in this show are so completely relatable and the best part is that not one of them looks like an unattainable, over-the-top-beautiful actress, which makes the show work. If Rachel, the lead yet nerdy character was walking around looking like Angelina Jolie, the show would plummet right there, but instead we're graced with lovable Lea Michele as Rachel.
"Glee" is just one of those feel-good type shows that leave you singing and dancing the second the show is over. Each episode has the full cast singing at least four or more songs, all of which are well-known contemporary hits, probably the reason why the show is as popular as it is. Each of the characters have their own unique voice, but all of them are powerhouses in their own way. The fact that the characters also have everyday high school problems that viewers can all relate to, definitely helps the show in the ratings. It's not like "The Hills" where someone gets 12 plastic surgeries in one day and we're still expected to believe that this is a reality show. "Glee" brings the reality in one of the best scripted TV shows I've ever seen, hands down.
Another good post. You had me laughing from the very beginning and feeling bad because I haven't been watching. Netflix to the rescue.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have googled info on the exact date the show began last year. It would sound much more professional.
Definitely your point that these people are like real people is a good one.
Blog on.
I completely agree with your post! Glee is an amazing show and people should not judge! I have turned a lot of people into Glee lovers simply because they thought the show was going to be all singing. However, it is much more than that and I am HOOKED!
