As an aspiring actress/ singer I love anything involving music and acting. Musicals, music videos, I love it all!
Ok. maybe not all....
But song, act, and dance are my favorite forms of entertainment. So in mid-2009 when I found out Fox was primering a new pilot for a show called "Glee" I was interested. On that fateful Wendesday in May 2009 I switched on my television to Fox eagerly awaiting to see what this "Glee" was about. I gave the screen a hard glare. Come on Fox, make my day.

HOLY MOTHER MARY JESUS JOSEPH IN A BURGER KING COMMERCIAL THIS IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really mean it too! This show is an absolute phenomeona. Glee has sweeped the nation creating an army of "gleeks" watching each episode religiously. I don't know a single one of my fellow gleeks that don't have atleast one song sung on "Glee" in their MP3 players. This show is the most clever, most entertaining, and most fan-followed show Fox has produced since "Family Guy".
The show centers around a quirky little glee club in small town Ohio. The club is run by Spanish teacher Will Schuster (Matthew Morrison) who was part of the glee club in his high school years. A small group of misfits join the club with hopes to gain popularity, and just to one day become famous. The starting club members are as follows:
Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer)
Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley)
Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz)
The aspiring Broadway actress, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). And wheelchair ridden Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale).
Later they're joined by star Quarterback, Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) and Cheerios cheerleaders Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera), Brittany (Heather Morris), and Finn's girlfriend, Quinn Fabray (Diana Agron). In later episodes the club is rounded out by football players Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling), Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr), and Matt Rutherford (Dijon Talton).
What makes this show brilliant is the clever writing and the gut wrenching love triangles between Finn, Puck, Rachel, and Quinn and Will, his wife,Terry (Jessalyn Gilsig), and school guidance counselor Emma Pilsbury (Jayma Mays). Jane Lynch also gives a wonderful performance as ornery Cheerios coach, Sue Sylvestor.
Every episode of this show targets an issue teenagers face everyday, stemming from race, religion, sexuality, and even long lost parents. The actors get into their roles giving tear jerking and hilarious performances as the charaters they play. The show just finished up their first season and will be returning next fall, no doubt providing the same entertainment they've given us this year. Here's looking at you Glee!
I'm Mariah Flanders, and that's what I'm about.
