Go glee! http://www.gleeforum.com

I really enjoyed it, but I have 2 problems that I hope they address as the show moves forward next season.

First, Scheuster's wife. Look, we believe in him as a real person, he's the way we're grounded to the show. Giving him a wife who is 90% quirk and punchline, not to mention an airhead, is a bad plan. She was his first girlfriend ever, but even that doesn't forgive such a bad decision on his part. They've got to make her a more real person, or we can't believe him as one.

Two, during the musical numbers, they're edited to within an inch of their lives. No scene lasts more than about 2 seconds before it's cut to the next one. I understand about editing conveying energy and excitement, but this is an extreme. The editors need to slow it down just a little--give a frame a chance to breathe for a few seconds before cutting away to another angle! I love the music, and the obvious joy the characters have for it, but it actually physically hurts to watch those scenes--just as my eyes focus, boom, it changes again. And if you're wondering, I'm only 40, not some 80-year-old ranting about young people's attention spans.

Overall, though, it was great. Borrowed a lot from "Election" -- an awful lot! -- but it all worked. I look forward to more in the fall.

And if they want to bring back that student who's singing at the beginning when the former glee club advisor feels his abs, I'd like it even better! He was great eye candy, and had a good voice, too. What happened to his character? :-D

I actually enjoyed this very much. While I don't remember people being physically threatened in my HS for being odd or different, there was some mental torment amidst overall apathy/insecurity, but that was a decade ago, so maybe things have changed. While I was teaching, it was pretty much the same, but more mental torment. That being said, they definitely captured that awkward feeling for both out-of-the-ordinary students and teachers who want to make a difference.

I also liked that they sang solid, single notes. The thing that drives me nuts with pop songs and singers on these types of shows is usually the singer seems to feel the need to demonstrate his or her complete vocal range in every bar of music. If the note's supposed to be a C, sing a freakin' C! Don't fluctuate between between twelve million other incredibly misnamed "grace" notes. These singers didn't do that, so I wasn't cringing through all their singing...I did laugh at the ridiculously long-held notes, but I'm pretty sure they intended that reaction. Anyway, I'll watch this when it airs in the fall.

Great show - and I think the breakout star here is Lea Michele. She's amazing!

I hope it retains (and expands upon) the wit and quirkiness that started in the pilot.

Fantastic Show, I cant wait for the Fall!!

Just finished watching and it was excellent! I like muscials, but I would have enjoyed this even without the music. The characters were engaging and I already care about them after one episode.

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope they got the rights to the songs for the dvd release so nothing will change.

We saw the TiVo add for this and thought it looked like a lot of fun. It's already set for recording, so we're giving it a shot (and with nothing much else on). I hope it's as fun as the review states. :)

I'm sorry, but I've had it up to my eyes with all the singing and dancing on television.

I think it has more to do with the fact that American Idol, America's got talent, and several other shows idolize people as if they're divinities because they have a good voice. Now I appreciate someone who can sing as much as the next guy, in fact, I'll admit, I was in choir & glee club in high school, and even was in a few plays back then, but there's no glorification of people with talent in Mathematics, Chemistry, History or any other High School subject, just sports or singing.

High School is a scary experience for most kids, and most of the times kids feel left out and abandoned because they don't have the talents that these kids have on TV.

So while this show might actually be entertaining, if Freaks & Geeks, a show that glorified being a smart, socially inept high school student, can't find an audience on the air, then I'm not interested in this.

If anyone's ever seen Spring Awakening, Lea Michele was the first Wendla. So obviously they're pulling from the Great White Way's gifted young talent pool.

I'm slightly optimistic about this show. Since it's comedy, its success is above average. I just hope people watch.
