GLEEk

One of my favorite shows this fall is of course Glee. Back in August when I saw the first episode, I didn't like it. All the characters seemed like giant stereotypes and the plot line like a giant cliche (HSM anyone?), but after watching those characters develop week after week, I found myself becoming a gleek (a Glee fan). Although there are moments where the minor characters get shoved aside to make room for more Rachel and Finn centered tunes and episodes.

For those of you who don't watch the show, it revolves around a girl named Rachel. She has a tremendous voice, but because of her control-freak tendencies, is despised and ridiculed by her classmates. There's also Finn, the popular quarterback for the school's football team, with an unusual gift for singing. There's also Quinn, head cheerleader and, naturally, Finn's girlfriend; Artie, a handicapped kid who's part of the school's Jazz band; Mercedes, the stereotypical loud black girl with a powerful voice; Kurt the gay kid who gets bullied and Tina, the Asian girl with a stutter. Now to Mr. Shu. He's currently the school's Spanish teacher, but wants to start up a glee club after watching the kids' talents go to waste.

One character you can't forget is Sue Sylvester, the egotistical coach of the "Cheerios."

She honestly makes the show with her nicknames for the Glee kids, i.e. Wheels, Aretha, Asian, other Asian, and Gay kid.

Glee, you are a amazingly hilarious!
