H and I watched for the first time last night. I will need to watch it again before final judgement. We enjoyed it, but not the kind of show I'll set my alarm for (like I do with House.) We kept saying, "Can you imagine this [song, dance, situation, outfit ...] at our high school?" We do have an award winning chorus, musical theater, etc. But bringing back an adult into the club? Not gonna happen. Letting an alcoholic adult have that sort of influence on the kids stick around with only a mild suggestion to the teacher that it might be inappropriate? No way. Teachers have been fired for less.
It seemed like PG-13 High School Musical. I actually enjoyed High School Musical, but wouldn't watch it weekly. Like I said, need to give it another look before deciding. Maybe I caught an off night.

I think this episode was more about how they were going to get Rachel back in glee. Next weeks will seem interesting and Coach Sue will def. be on since she is the one that tells his wife about his school relationship with the gc.

I'm surprised that anyone would take this show seriously. It's an absolute spoof filled with the requisite stereotypical characterizations. EVERYthing about it is unrealistic, that's the point. Last week's episode was the best so far, in my opinion.

This show is absolutely 100% spoon fed entertainment. The funny thing is our DD gets so upset, because all of the songs they sing are the oldies, and so Bullet and I walk around singing them...I can't get the song Don't stop Believing out of my head this morning. I can still see in my minds eye being at their concert back in my day. DD asked last night was Huey Lewis ever popular? I broke out in laughter, as she kept saying what, what's so funny? I told her one day when your DD asks if Beyonce was popular you will get it!

I'm not going to give it away, but the line that Jane Lynch gives to the teacher's spouse next week is a classic (it was in the coming attractions which I usually fast-forward but happened to watch last night)......
This is pure campy fun; we particularly like the fact that the characters ALL have flaws; definitely realistic on that front, while unrealistically dramatic/comedic at the same time.......

I just adored "Somebody to Love." I kept thinking, "I don't know who is really singing in this group, but they are really really good."

DS and I are huge Kristin Chenoweth fans, so we enjoyed last night immensely.

This may not have been the best episode story-wise, but Kristin Chenoweth's guest appearance was priceless. D and I talked about how cool it must have been for Lea Michele to sing a duet with Kristin - a Broadway star at the pinnacle of her career and Lea Michele, clearly on her way up.
D and I realized that we saw Lea on Broadway in Ragtime when she was just 11 years old - she was impressive even then.

I missed it last night because I was at the 2nd performance of the new national tour of Mel Brook's Musical "Young Frankenstein", but already have my computer ready to go to watch last night's episode online during lunch today. Kristin Chenoweth is one of my favorites.
BTW - if you have a chance to see "Young Frankenstein" on tour - don't miss it! Roger Bart and Shuler Hensley originated the roles of Doctor Frankenstein and the monster on Broadway and are playing them again on the tour. It was just as good as the Broadway production which D and I saw two years ago. Despite a brief 15-minute technical snafu during Act I - it was fantastic! If you love the movie, you will love the musical!

Kristin Chenoweth's rendition of "Maybe This Time" was nothing short of amazing. I had goosebumps.
I never watched Pushing Daisies, but I loved her in West Wing. I wouldn't mind seeing her stick around on Glee.

I thought last night's episode was still fun although not my favorite. It was good to see Kristen since we think she is great. It made me miss Pushing Daisies which was my younger DD's favorite show.

Love this show. The whole family watches it including middle school son.
Agree with others that last night's episode wasn't as good as last week's.
