Comic-Con is over, and though we all couldn't make it, we can all get plenty of tastes of the excitement. FOX was out in full force at the event, and several shows were there chatting up fans, including some newcomers to the fall schedule. GLEE didn't quite have the A-List in attendance, and Terra Nova took over with the trailer of all solar-powered zaniness, but overall, fans appear to have … [Read more...]
Are you ready for the reality competition to end all reality competitions? Or... whatever. The Glee Project is coming to you this Sunday, June 12th on Oxygen. Glee may have seen better days as far as I'm concerned, but you have to give the show credit for taking chances. Continuing in the effort to do the untested, dangerous, and potentially insane, The Glee Project is a reality competition … [Read more...]
I've been trying to push GLEE since my first review of the show, and have thrown out bites now and then (like the Joss Whedon interview, and my Open Apology to Madonna), and now that we have the DVD release of GLEE: The Complete First Season, it's hard to imagine who might still need a sell. I think at this point the show speaks for itself, and something that could actually be classified as a … [Read more...]
Tonight's episode of GLEE , "Dream On," was guest-directed by Joss Whedon, and he was available for a conference call interview to talk about the episode specifically, and working on GLEE more generally. It was a great interview, and it's a solid episode. Also along for tonight's ride is Neil Patrick Harris, as Will's High School rival, and the interplay he creates with various characters is … [Read more...]
Lots of stuff going on, so let's just jump in. It was an unfortunately boring follow-up to the Madonna episode on GLEE, but it at least got a bit of spotlight time for one of my favorites, Chris Colfer. TV.com caught up with Kurt for an interview, and it's a good read for fans of the show. Check out the interview here. Film School Rejects recently put out a nice rundown of the must-see … [Read more...]
I knew something was off when I attended an interview with Simon a few weeks ago. The thing that really caught my attention was when he was asked who he would like to see show up on American Idol as a mentor. His quick reply was Lady Gaga, and it threw me. As time went on, I really began to wonder. Several articles came out wondering what was going on with the show in general terms, many along … [Read more...]
Madonna, I don't like you. Wait. The tone generally improves from here on. You have to try and consider things from my perspective. When I was in High School, every other song on the radio was one of yours, girls in class were wearing lace gloves and coming up to me asking if I'd seen Susan. I didn't really care for your songs, and time wasn't really helping anything on that score. Vogue? … [Read more...]
If those small doses of Sue's Corner just aren't enough for the GLEE fans out there, I have the answer. Take a look at a brand new edition in which Sue takes those "Sneaky Gays" to task. Keep your sights on the return of GLEE on April 13th following American Idol... seriously, that's not so far away people. From Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Nip/Tuck,” comes GLEE, a new comedy for the … [Read more...]
You know her best now as Sue Sylvester on Glee, and she has a guest spot on The Cleveland Show as Ms. Eck, but she's been doing wonderful work for quite some time, and it's about time Jane Lynch became a name you recognize immediately. She's starting to get attention with the wild popularity of Glee, even earning a Golden Globe nomination for her role, and I had the chance to be part of an … [Read more...]
I've covered Glee quite a bit, mostly because I was thoroughly impressed with the pilot, and the generally caustic approach to everything is practically tailor-made to suit me. However, the truth is that the last episode or two haven't worked quite as well for me. Things have been getting a bit too... and while I am absolutely your man for settling in with a wonderful hyperbole, there is only so … [Read more...]
Despite having only four episodes under its belt, Glee has been acquiring fanatical devotion for several months. The move to air the pilot months before audiences would get anything more has proven a good idea in this instance, despite how it may have made many scratch their heads. The fun and surprisingly enticing play on High School caricature run wild has so far served up a brilliant mix of … [Read more...]
If you happened to miss FOX's preview special of the Glee pilot episode, it isn't that surprising given the competition, but you missed a real treat. The misfit musi-comedy about high school life, and it's clubs, popularity contests, and hierarchies, is driven by a kind of creative genius rarely witnessed in the television world. I know, pretty serious stuff, isn't it? First of … [Read more...]
