Some Were Born to Sing the Blues

[snurri]

I was a big fan of Ryan Murphy's surreal/satirical/campy/ridiculous show Popular back in the day. And now there's Glee; the pilot aired last night, but if you missed it you can watch it at Hulu.

My only question is WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FALL FOR MORE OF THIS?!?

I watched it on Hulu today, too. I hearted it big time, even with the stereotype-laden and conventional stuff amid the weird. I CAN'T WAIT for next fall either. Also, it's set in a NE Ohio town, which is even better! ;-)

I was really happy to see it set somewhere other than generic L.A.!

It is a bit heavy on the stereotypes, but I'm hopeful that it'll follow up on Popular and ruthlessly mess with those.
