don't remember any other show dealing with one of the most "pressing" issues affecting teenage boys the way this one has.
For those of us who are clueless, can you tell us what you're talking about?

3bm, I believe JHS is referring to Finn's explanation as to how he thinks of driving with his mom years ago when a pedestrian crashes into their windshield, when he is getting an erection, to avoid anything further happening.

pageturner, I think the actor who plays Kurt is the only one of the kids who is remotely close to being high school age.

Glad they're old. Now I feel better about thinking how awfully cute that whole gang of boys in cowboy outfits looked...

I caught the end of this show by accident and while the plot seemed a little forced (I only saw a small piece of the show), I loved the performances!

I agree. It's worth watching just to hear the music.

The funny thing is our DD gets so upset, because all of the songs they sing are the oldies,
See, that's one of the good things about having had two daughters in showchoir (a highly competitive and very successful one at that). They do know (and love) all those songs because through all the invitationals they've been a participant at, or hosted, some choir, at some point, has done all the songs we rocked out on when we were growing up.

At the beginning of every new school year, people always try to predict what newer songs will be heard by more than one showchoir. Some showchoirs are much more progressive when it comes to music, meaning they try to incorporate at least one song into their show that was released in the last year. Other groups pretty much stay away from newer stuff. Two of my favorite songs done by showchoirs are by Seal (My Vision) and The Dave Matthews Band (Stay).

I agree about the music...I was in choir for 9 years (not showchoir, unfortunately, since we didn't have one ), and we NEVER did contemporary music. The kids' frustration at the beginning with doing disco was something that all my old choir friends and I were laughing hysterically about, as well as the teacher's attitude that "everyone loves disco!". Priceless.

Last week's episode was the best yet. Though I wish the pregnancy deception stories would wrap up, there was lots of music and all the wonderful, wonderful warped and crazy scenes with Sue Sylvester.

Yes, it was a great episode. Will is really getting on my nerves though. It's like he has a home wife and a work wife, and doesn't see anything wrong with that.

The Jane Lynch scenes are what is best about Glee. The rest is really not all that much fun. I think that this show has never really found its mark. It is scattered and disjointed and the small bits with intelligent writing and humor are overshadowed, terribly, by the ridiculous storylines, and absurdly unrealistic just-about-everything else. The massively overproduced musical numbers with remixed voices and the lip-synching, the crazy pregnancy storylines, the Cheerios wearing their uniforms 24/7, even the ultrasound appointment where the technician offers up the absolutely impossible to know information that the baby is a girl. I like unrealistic and fun satire as much as the next person but this show is having a very tough time pulling it off. Ryan Murphy's 'stuff' is usually good to start and then slowly but surely spirals right down the drain. Unfortunately, I don't see any signs yet of that pattern changing with Glee.

I think the show is supposed to be scattered and disjointed. I look at it as a satire. I do agree that Jane Lynch is terrific, but I love the musical numbers.

think of it like a Bollywood movie, or a Mexican telenovella and then it won't seem so disjointed!
