Glee TV Show in the UK

0 Comments 02 February 2010

I threatened to do it on Twitter and here it is, my review of why you should be watching Glee.

Glee TV Show UK

I will start by saying it has already won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy so it’s not going to be totally crap however I know some people are turned off by the adverts for the show, no it’s not High School the Musical, it’s a little bit more grown up in an immature kind of way… Actually think about it as HSM meets Nip and Tuck (cause one of the guys behind Glee also done Nip and Tuck).

What is Glee

It’s basically a comedy that follows a Glee club at an American school, only this is an even bigger set of misfits and losers than most would normally have, so I am led to believe. The cool guy quarter back (Finn) is blackmailed into joining and as each week passes things get a little darker, the whole show is very non-PC.

If you are not laughing your arse off at Sue the cheerleaders coach and how Sue sees it then I am sorry for wasting your time. And when the football team is doing the Single Ladies Dance if your not laughing as well as cringing just a little then I am afraid there is no hope for you, why not turn on the News channel you boring old fart :-)

And let’s not forget about Rachel the lead singer in the Glee club, she kind of reminds me of one of my friends, not saying who but if you know her, you will know what I mean in a nice way of course ;-) It will be no surprise that the girl who plays the part has been on a few Broadway shows, in fact I was thinking she would be great in Les Misérables due to her version of “On My Own” and turns out she played a Young Cosette when she was 9 on Broadway and also played Eponine at the Hollywood Bowl production of Les Mis, so there you go.

Don’t Stop Believin’ is probally how most people who have not actually seen Glee know the show, it was no.2 the UK charts, not bad for a TV show cover.

The Cast

Lots of main roles in the Glee TV Show, stand out for me, for the guys it’s Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). For the girls it’s Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron), Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).

Guys Will Like Just as Much as Girls

Now guys I know what you’re thinking, musical comedy is not something you would enjoy, in fact some of you might even question your ‘manly ways’ should you ever be caught watching one. Well let me put your fears to rest with this little clip of Quinn Fabray (played by Dianna Agron) she is the head high school cheerleader and head of the celibacy club (who is up the duff) and this is her addition for the Glee Club :-) .

Believe me after seeing that I was saying a little prayer ;-)

By doing this blog post I have become a Gleek! (Glee Geek) How very sad but hey, it’s a show worth watching and if enough people do it should carry on a few seasons for sure. :-)
…..
You can watch Glee on E4, E4 HD and it is repeated on Channel 4 in the UK.
…..
Note About Videos: Well it seems people from the UK are now banned from seeing the Fox Mexico and Fox Italy videos that have been uploaded for Glee so you will have to make do with these poor quality fan uploaded version for the time being.
