Review: Glee
Sep292009
I resisted this show even though everybody I knew kept telling me I had to see it. I finally gave in and watched the pilot on Hulu, and it was fun but it wasn’t must-see TV. And then since I was already there, I watched the next three episodes. My reaction to it is that it’s not a Buffy or a Burn Notice, my gold standard for TV, shows that I want to see every moment of. The marriage story line bores me. I could not care less about the Accafellas. And the pregnancy story lines? Meh. But I’m still going to be watching every week because for every boring minute there are two minutes of freaking Ohio genius. (Full disclosure: I was born in Lima.)
The cast in this show is stellar. I’ll forgive the pregnancy story lines for that moment when Terri gets in the car with Quinn and hands her the baby vitamins and you see the light of real insanity in her eyes. Or the moment when Kurt’s dad tells him he’s always known he was gay, and then turns back at the last moment and says, “Are you sure?” Or Kurt showing up at football practice, surrounded by the guys who put him in the dumpster every day, saying, “I’m Kurt and I’ll be auditioning for the role of kicker.” Or Sue Sylvester yelling, “You think this is hard? I’m living with hepatitis, that’s hard!” (This is now a meme in our house: “You think that’s hard? I’m writing a romance novel, that’s hard!”) But even without those moments, there are things that would keep me coming back just to see if they’ll ever do anything that magnificent again.
Like Mercedes belting the hell out of “Bust the Windows Out Your Car” in the only musical number I’ve ever seen where I liked the addition of half-dressed cheerleaders. With crowbars. Amber Riley owns that song and the production is thrilling.
Or the football team doing “Single Ladies” followed by Kurt going out to do the extra point kick, the words “Make this and you die a legend” ringing in his ears.
Or Sue Sylvester. Anything Sue Sylvester says or does. Jane Lynch is a goddess.
Or Rachel, desperate for fame and Finn, belting out determination and heartache in pretty much everything Lea Michele sings.
Or Finn, trying so hard to do the right thing even though everyone around him is treacherous, including Will. It’s damn hard to be the heart of a show full of snark, but Cory Monteith does it.
Or Puck, Glee’s Iago, or Quinn, Glee’s Lady Macbeth, or . . . well, all of them. It’s just a stellar cast.
Really you should watch it. In the meantime, here’s Amber Riley’s “Bust the Windows Out Your Car” (as long as it’s still up on YouTube) because it’s just that good:
Or if you want to feel good, watch the football team put a ring on it:
Hulu has the first four episodes now, but they’ll only have five at a time, so the pilot will be gone after next week. New episodes on Wednesdays at 9ET on Fox.
Glee. You should see it. Really.

I was able to see the pilot before they had to cut out a few scenes for time, and I still think it’s one of the best pilots I’ve ever seen. I agree, however, that the one that aired wasn’t so stellar, but still fun. I think the show’s finally finding itself, and I REALLY can’t wait to see Kristin Chenoweth own Glee.
And yes, everything Jane Lynch is amazing. After each episode airs, I do nothing but quote her.

I don’t have cable, so I can’t speak for Burn Notice, but I was a Buffy addict from the beginning. (“How do I send this?” “Hit Deliver.” Pure genius.) And even with my undying love for Buffy, I have to say that even Buffy wasn’t firing on all cylinders right from the beginning.
It took a while for the studio execs to trust Joss’ instincts and allow him to run the show the way he needed to. I am loving Glee – and yes, so far my favourite scene was Bust The Windows Out Ya Car, but I’m not sure if that’s because I feel camaraderie towards a fellow fat black girl or because it was just SO well done – but I don’t expect any show to be fantastic from Episode 1.
Nor do I expect any show to be like Buffy or Burn Notice or Seinfeld. They all carved out their place on the viewing schedule through their originality. It’s hard as heck to adopt a new TV show these days because studios are constantly looking for an opportunity to cancel them, but it looks like Fox has thrown their weight behind Glee, at least for this season.
So I’m glad you’re watching. I’m gonna keep watching too. And I’m gonna give it a chance to be whatever it’s going to eventually become – and hope I still enjoy that too,.

I don’t remember being impatient with parts of Buffy or Burn Notice, which I do find with Glee. But Glee has me forever now so it doesn’t matter. I’ve already been to iTunes to get Riley’s “Bust the Windows” because it’s just so good, but it’s even better in the context of the scene. Break your heart and make you cheer at the same time. Just makes you want to pick up a crowbar and sing. Loud.

Fox also offers its shows on their website.

I’ll have to check it out. God Bless Hulu for allowing people to catch up if they missed the season opener. Way better way to run things.
And as an FYI, I totally dug “Whip It”, Drew Barrymore’s roller derby movie coming out officially on Oct 2. I saw one of the 500 “sneak” previews last weekend. Instead of the normal “I’m going to leave my little town behind in my rebellious streak to world domination” it did more community building, than it did tearing apart. Learning to live with yourself AND your family rather than saying, “foo to all that”. I thought it sent a great message about how to grow to independence without being a horrible person. Your mileage may vary, but the movie was really fun and, childless person that I am, appropriate for teens and guys as well as women. I think readers of this blog will like it. And, with all the “men only” kind of movies they STILL put out while saying “chick flicks don’t make money”, I think Whip It should make money, so I’m putting the good word out. Feel free to come by my blog and flame at me if you disagree, but it was fun.

“Whip It” is doing its best for the guy market by being promoted with Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page lip-locking.

“Bust the Windows Out Your Car” was the moment when I came to adore Glee. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it before then, but that…that was it for me. Did you watch the short web-exclusive they have up on Hulu where she talks about doing that song? It made me smile for a long time after.
As for Hulu in general, I adore it, especially now as I try to get over what very might well be mono. (Seriously? At 27? *sigh*) They recently put up both seasons of “Life,” which is in the “Firefly” category for me – great quirky shows that were cut short. It’s a cop drama, but the storylines were more interesting than some, and the music was excellent. (I think they had to change the soundtrack for the DVDs, etc, though, due to the cost. Boo.) They’ve also got the premiere up for “Eastwick,” on which I’m withholding judgement until they’ve got three or four episodes out. The premise gives it potential – three women discovering magic powers in a small town. We’ll see. Fun TV shows for now, featuring Buffy alums, are also “Warehouse 13,” which Jane Espenson works/worked on, and “Castle,” with Nathan Fillion. Both aren’t the most amazing shows out there, but they make me keep coming back because of the characters. Those rock.

I like Glee, I don’t love it, for me also Buffy is still the gold standard of television. Jane Lynch is wonderful and Glee is nicely balanced. I dare I hope, TPTB at Fox are on board and providing a nurturing loving atmosphere in which Glee can grow and achieve it’s full potential. And may they also lavish Dollhouse with that same nurturing loving atmosphere

Wow, I wish I lived in the US and was able to watch this! No go for hulu here in the UK.
BTW, I wonder how many William McKinley High Schools there are in Ohio? There was one in Niles, OH near where I grew up.
On September 29, 2009 at 11:20 pm Jenny said...
There are nine McKinley High Schools, three in Ohio which isn’t that surprising since he was born here and then was governor here before he became President.

I don’t know where you live, but here in Canada it’s available on Rogers On-Demand. That’s how I spent Sunday evening getting caught up. I suspected I would like it, and yeah. But I didn’t realize I’d get all my roomies drawn in too. It IS just that good.
On September 29, 2009 at 10:25 pm Lindsey said...
I’m a huge Buffy fan as well, but it took until the 2nd season to really hit its stride, and with very few exceptions, the 6th season is dead to me. It isn’t necessarily TPTB that effect story line. At the risk of having things thrown at me, I would say Joss needs more development time on projects than TV really allows. This is why 2nd season of Buffy is the best, why Firefly is hit and miss, and why Dr. Horrible is the best thing ever. He needs to sit with ideas longer to make them truly great. This is also why, while Dollhouse started out really rocky, I’m hearing it’s going to get really great in its second season.
On September 29, 2009 at 11:23 pm Jenny said...
I loved Buffy’s first season but it did get better and better. Season Six bounced between awful and great (Once More With Feeling). I agree on Firefly and Dr. Horrible, but I thought Serenity was absolutely terrible and he had plenty of time on that. I think sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t and you never really know why as an author, so you just keep slugging away. Of course, that could be influenced by the way I’m slugging away now.
On September 30, 2009 at 1:18 am toni said...
Season 6 on Buffy had Marti Noxin as showrunner — she moved up when Joss was working on… hmmm.. Angel and, I think, Serenity. Marti was a big fan of Riley and a proponent of that whole weird military story line that I seriously could have lived without. (Joss came back and wrote Once More With Feeling. And it’s obvious, when you hold that episode up against the rest of the season that that’s the one w/Joss.)
I have fallen for Glee in a big way. I’m not really into the pregnancy stories–the psychotic wife is really… odd. But I love the subtle digs and humor. (The counselor’s gag reflex line in the second episode made me a fan.) Like Jenny, I don’t care much for the Aquafellas, but at this point, I will endure as much of them as they want, as long as I get equal time with Jane Lynch. That woman is amazing. (It was awesome that I saw Julie and Julia about the same time as the repeated 1st ep and did not even recognize Lynch, and loved her character there, too.)

Thank you so much for clearing that up about season 6 Toni! It makes sense to me now in a way it never did before.

Did you see Dr. Horrible on the Emmys? ROTFL, really. My kids are still quoting him
On September 30, 2009 at 8:46 am Kathryn said...
Joss Whedon Addict. Buffy, Angel, and Firefly (including Serenity which I love – sorry, Jenny – and believe was probably really hard for Joss to write to wrap up what should have been years and years of episode TV in a couple of hours) line my shelves and I will still stop and watch if I see a rerun on TV. Like any other creative type, I’ll take any excuse to procrastinate. It’s clinical, I think. Clinical, pathological, compulsive procrastination. But Buffy’s so worth it! And Dr. Horrible – oh my God – “These aren’t the hammer. [...] The hammer is my penis.” Tiny baby Jesus! I start crying!

Fancast is a new Hulu-like site on the net to watch tv shows and movies:

Don’t know if it offers anything different, too new to tell.
I’ll watch Jane Lynch in anything.

I was sucked in for good when Quinn said, “I had sex with you because you got me drunk on wine coolers and I felt fat that day.” I will be a groupie forever more.
On October 1, 2009 at 3:09 am CrankyOtter said...
I’ve seen the first 4 thanks to peer pressure and hulu, and that might be my favorite line so far. Because it, even more than the “all you wanted was sensible heels” line, made me realize just how differently they’re able to show the interpersonal interactions. That line for some reason made me sit up and take notice.
And that guy she said it to is hoooooot. There’s something very odd about much of the show, but that episode 4 might make me a fan.
On September 30, 2009 at 10:10 am Becky said...
I started watching Glee with the pilot a couple of weeks ago, but a lot of the material in the trailer above seems to have occured before the pilot. Was that from the episode they aired as a teaser this spring? If so, is that available anywhere online?
I kind of thought “ugh” when Quinn announced she was pregnant, but I’ll still watch Glee. I find myself humming the songs all week.
On October 1, 2009 at 4:40 pm Cherry Honey said...
I remember all of what’s in the trailer above, I think. Have you watched episodes after the pilot? I think some of that is in episode 2.
On September 30, 2009 at 1:06 pm PG said...
There was a pilot available in the spring that got me hooked right away (it’s the karaoke- and law-school-parody-show- performer in me), that they then re-aired a few times before the season premiere proper, with each having something different (one had cast members twittering with their tweets appearing at the bottom of the screen; another was a director’s cut that was a bit longer). I think almost everything in the trailer is in the pilot episode.

Love the videos. I’d been meaning to watch this show then forgot about it. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll tune in tonight.
On September 30, 2009 at 3:06 pm Melissa Blue said...
First, I agree with Lindsey, Buffy didn’t get good until the second season, but I quit when Joss started to rip my heart out in Season Five. Even with the promise of more Spike you can’t make me watch 6 and 7.
*Personally, I think Dollhouse has too many layers for someone to jump in midway, which is Wheadon’s genius and downfall. The full implication of that second episode didn’t make sense until ten shows later. He gives the reward for sticking around, not everyone will stick around or enough to get his shows to the very last episode. But, if he dies today Dr. Evil will be the best thing he has ever written..*
But on to Glee. I watched the pilot when it came on back in the summer. I can’t tell you how upset I was that this show wasn’t going to start until the fall. For me it was genius from day one. You’ve got this teacher who wants to relive his own Glee glory days. His wife who you slowly find out is a nutty-butty through dialouge and a closet full of arts and crafts. Oh and come on the cheerleading coach who delivered the first line of the show–”You think this is hard, try being water-boarded. That’s hard.”
It’s even the little things like they use Glee-like music for their scene transitions instead of real music. The brilliant one-liners. And really what character is sane on that show? *sigh* I love it and will be watching tonight.
On September 30, 2009 at 3:47 pm Lindsey said...
Yeah, I broke up with Dollhouse after the fourth episode when she was a pop star and I wanted to shoot myself. I’m told I need to get back into it, that Epitaph 1 is amazing and the second season is going to fantastic, but I don’t know if I can forgive Joss for that 44 minutes of my life.
But I do love Glee, and I will be quoting Jane Lynch until the day I die. “If I was out to get you, you’d be pickling in a mason jar on my shelf by now.” I’ve also taken to saying certain people should be out into foster care.

Slightly OT, but the folks at Slate who are watching “Mad Men” made a similar point: the stuff that the fans love is the stuff that you have to have watched a lot of the show to get. In the last episode of “Mad Men,” which is now midway through its third season, the best bit of plot requires you to have watched the entire first season. The Slate folks also disparage the aspects of the show that they think are too “network TV,” i.e. those that the suits like because they make the show enjoyable for someone just now tuning in.

Huh. Thanks – I just spent my afternoon watching Glee. Lots of fun, enjoyable music, and the Ohio thing is an interesting aspect (since I live in SW Ohio). Of course, there are more productive things I should’ve been doing, but it was still a good way to spend an afternoon.
And now the sun has come out. Coincidence? I think not.

Glee is on my Tivo now I might finally get to it. I was a big Buffy fan also the moment for me was when spike yelled out “I’m love’s bitch!” classic
On October 1, 2009 at 11:33 am Jenny said...
My favorite Spike line was the one about human beings as Happy Meals with legs.
Last night’s Glee was pretty much in line with the others: Moments that weren’t that interesting spliced with moments of genius. Too much of Chenowith singing–and I love Chenowith–and not enough plot, but on the other hand, that duet with Lea Michelle on “Maybe This Time” was amazing. And I love the way EVERYBODY on this show is a rat bastard. Even Finn went to the dark side last night; I no longer feel sorry for him for what Will did to him with the pot. The one thing I don’t get is why everybody insists that Rachel is the best singer they have when Mercedes can come out and sing her off the stage. But then, I’m a huge Amber Riley fan. Another wonderful moment: Kurt throwing up on Emma.
Is it wrong if I’m starting to want Rachel to end up with Puck?
On October 1, 2009 at 4:34 pm toni said...
I think Rachel with Puck would be genius. Their conflicts would be hotter, that’s for sure, because Rachel couldn’t mow over Puck the same way she’ll mow over Finn. (And she will, eventually, mow over Finn.)
On October 1, 2009 at 4:36 pm Becky said...
“The one thing I don’t get is why everybody insists that Rachel is the best singer they have when Mercedes can come out and sing her off the stage.”
Quinn and Tina were pretty good in their solos, too. (Except where Tina was supposed to be bad when she lost her confidence there at the end.) So much of high school is about finding your identity, and Rachel’s is The Best Singer. Even if she’s not actually the best, it’s the place she’s carved out for herself, and the group goes along with it without stopping to consider if it’s really true. It’s kind of a geeky version of the King and Queen of the school- that popular couple or crowd that can do no wrong, until we look back years later and think, “You know, they really weren’t that great.”
On October 1, 2009 at 5:13 pm Lindsey said...
omg, I’ve wanted Rachel with Puck since the beginning. Also can’t wait until Puck has his first solo.
On October 1, 2009 at 11:52 am Danielle said...
Oooooh Rachel with Puck? Oh I like the way you think! It would take some doing after the way he said that she makes him want to set himself on fire, but thats what would make it interesting.
On October 1, 2009 at 5:11 pm Cherry Honey said...
I think the animosity between the two (Rachel and Puck) is what would make that pairing great.
Veronica and Logan, Buffy and Spike…
On October 1, 2009 at 6:15 pm Jenny said...
You know there’s a lot of way to take that crack, too. I’m sure he meant it as she annoys the hell out of him, but “set myself on fire” has some lovely subliminal meanings. I don’t know the writers on this show well enough yet, but if they’re setting something up, I love this show.
I remember when Willow and Tara held hands for the first time in the snack room when the Hush monsters were attacking and thinking, “Now that would be so cool, if Joss let Willow go bi,” and then thought, “Naw.” And sure enough, he went there. And he’d actually set it up in “Doppelganger” when Bad Willow grabbed Good Willow’s butt. But then Joss is a god. I forgive him Serenity.
Now if only the Glee writers are that off the wall . . .
On October 1, 2009 at 8:08 pm toni said...
Okay, I have to now ask why you loathe Serenity. I loved it, but I saw it long before I ever watched Firefly. Maybe because I saw it out of order.
Also, one of these days, on an entirely different topic, I’d love to see what literary crit books you’ve read that you thought were worthwhile. (I have the anthology one you participated in.)
Preview isn’t working for me, either with Mac/Safari.
On October 1, 2009 at 8:16 pm toni said...
Geez. I actually know how to punctuate and write complete sentences. Damned multi-tasking.
On October 2, 2009 at 12:07 pm Jenny said...
I did a whole essay on why I hated Serenity for the second Serenity Smart Pop book, and I was so angry about the show they rejected it, very nicely, because it was so over the top. I think what happened–although it’s always dicey to speculate about what happens during somebody else’s process–is that Joss got so distracted by his cool spaceship–which was very cool–and his concept of displaced cowboys in space–which wasn’t so much–and forgot to do things like build character and structure story. There were only three people with goals in the whole thing: the bad guy who wanted River, River who wanted to find out what had happened to her, and River’s brother who wanted to save her. These are all good goals. Unfortunately, the story was about Mal who was a great character, I loved him, but since he didn’t want anything he ended up being a pissy pirate, bitching at everybody, not because he was frustrated in his goals, but because that made him Colorful. I get that he’s angry about the War, but he’s not doing anything about it, he’s just sailing around the universe, bitching, and then doing the right thing when he falls over a problem, of which River is one. He is completely predictible, we don’t have anything to root for because he doesn’t want anything, and he distracts from the one mystery in the story which is River. I might have been able to live with that in the series since it’s episodic, but stretched across feature length, it was just confusing and frustrating. And that’s also when I noticed that all the women were stereotypes that existed only in relation to Mal. Most frustrating was the courtesan which everybody kept telling us was an honorable profession in this world, except any time a guy got mad at her, he called her a whore. None of the women showed any dimension even though the actresses tried hard. The writing defeated them. I was so angry about that after the amazing job Joss had done with Buffy and Willow and even Anya. There’s more, but basically, I was confused as all hell after the first ten minutes of the movie and it never really got better because there was no there there. I watched it the first time with Bob, and we actually stopped it about half an hour in, looked at each other, and said WTF?
You have to have a strong protagonist with a goal or the center does not hold.
On October 2, 2009 at 9:51 pm toni said...
Hm. You know, this makes sense. (I hate it when that happens, when points I should see sail right over me.) I kept surfing right past the problems because River kicks ass when everyone thought she was helpless, and I loved the dynamic between her and the brother. But you’re right, the story’s supposed to be Mal’s.
And see, this is why I like these discussions so much. They always force me outside my comfort box to really *see* these things instead of getting complacent or operating on instinct alone. Thanks.
On October 1, 2009 at 12:02 pm Danielle said...
I have to say Kristen Chenowith singing Last Name actually made me like that song and I despise Carrie Underwood. It made me go to itunes and download the soundtrack.
On October 1, 2009 at 4:42 pm Diane (TT) said...
Yeah, there was some real balancing of the scales going on there with Finn. Emma is still hanging on as messed-up but non-evil. I liked the “Somebody to Love” part best, but I’m a sucker for ’80s rock. I think that may be why I like the show a lot. And general junking out on singing and dancing. How nice to have a new addiction.
The Happy Meals with legs line is excellent. It reminds me of Anya’s classic description of Thanksgiving as “ritual sacrifice – with pie”.
Preview is still not working. I wonder if it’s Firefox, but not enough to try another browser.
On October 2, 2009 at 10:18 am PG said...
LOVED the “Somebody to Love.” I think it’s one of the songs that is the message for everyone on the show (possibly all human beings in general?). And also because Queen’s Greatest Hits is not so bad a thing to have as the only music you’ll get to hear, no matter what Pratchett/Gaiman snarked.
I think this episode actually showed that Finn isn’t as mow-downable as he’d seemed for all the prior episodes where everyone else (Will, Rachel, Quinn) seemed to be twisting him to their own purposes. He has a gathering sense of purpose that’s now giving him the motivation to start doing some manipulation of his own. Which really reminds you that “Glee” is written by the guy who gave us “Nip/Tuck”

The most interesting Ohio fact I know: you have an official rock song. It’s rather a dull song (unless you’re into sub-Beach Boys, and the Beach Boys from before they were interesting at that), but it did prompt someone to draft House Concurrent Resolution No. 16 of the 116th General Assembly of Ohio, which is far better than the song, and practically a reason to be cheerful in itself.

I have been waiting for you to get into this. One thing I like about the show is that you can watch the episodes again and again (perhaps skipping the plot for the music). And smile.

I did my own review of this show a week or so back, and I was in the same place you were. Meh, maybe I’ll try it out. Then sucked right in. I love it. I don’t even care if it goes waaay, waaaaaay over the top with the baby plot and the weird wife and the even weirder OCD teacher. I love them all and musicals are supposed to be over the top, so I put up with it. And Sue is so good I cry. (They should be hobbled.) Second episode, during the assembly, when they performed Push It took me right back to high school and I was laughing my ass off imagining the flood of phone calls/emergency teacher conferences, etc that would set off.
I refuse to dissect and try to stick my finger on what I don’t like, but I’ll tell you guys that my husband HATES musicals, gets itchy just thinking about high school drama, and has no interest in sports. But when I pushed him to catch the eps on Hulu (he works on the road) he was all in over the course of one night. If he likes it, there’s something good going on!
On October 6, 2009 at 9:12 am Tamara Hogan said...
Several weeks after the episode aired, I still go to YouTube and watch the “Push It” musical number. I laugh harder each time I watch it. It’s just SO DIABOLICALLY WRONG, which makes it so damn RIGHT. The dance positions are better suited for a (sanitized) porn flick. The facial expressions are a master class in subtlety: the absolute horror on Finn’s face when he realizes his football homies just saw Kurt slap him on the ass. The ecstasy on the Principal’s face. Absolute subversive genius.

Best Spike line ever–”I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it”.
