OMG! Totally loved it!

Fox has a big hit on their hands, and pairing with iTunes is super smart.

I love the Glee cast versions of "Don't Stop Believing" and "Rehab"! I already bought the singles off of iTunes.

Lea Michele is so cute as Rachel Berry, and she is soooo talented! I mean come on, she blew "Don't Stop Believing" away. And actually is a pretty good little actress, maybe she is playing herself? LoL.

And Matthew Morrison, hubba hubba. Watching a great/funny show with awesome music, def. worth it. But adding this talented, eye candy is a VERY VERY VERY smart idea too. He is delicious, and would be a great choice for Disney's Hercules, if it was ever adapted to Broadway. I cannot imagine anyone else in this role, well, only, maybe Cheyenne Jackson, LOL.

The NJ Trilogy watched this tonight and we're upset that we have to wait until September to see the next episode!

I loved the episode. It's everything High School Musical intended to be, but "Glee" did it 100 times better without being overtly peppy or annoying.

I never looked at it like that, LOLOLOL. But very good point, and "Glee" appeals to a much bigger audience. I would never give any of those "HSM" films the time of day, and the music is wayyyyy to bubble gum. "Glee" took an 80's classic, and gave it a very Broadway feel.

According to Wikipedia and the preview for the season, it's going to have alot of nice covers.

Broadway stars Cheyenne Jackson, Kristen Chenoweth, John Lloyd Young, Debra Monk, Victor Garber & Josh Groban are to appear!

I hope Kerry Butler, Laura Bell Bundy, Susan Egan and Ashley Brown get to make an appearance.

Hoping for Jodi Benson as a guest star, would almost be a pipe dream.

I just hope all the music they use won't pose a problem for a DVD release. Even if it's just one episode in, I know I'm gonna buy the series on DVD.

Only one episode, and I officially LOVE this show. Being in Show Choir myself, I'm glad a show about it is being given a lot of coverage.

Our director told us that the "Carmel" group in the episode is actually the Burbank Show Choir which is directed by Brett Caroll. Mr. Caroll was supposed to choreograph one of our songs this year, but couldn't because of this show. It was alright, though, because the song turned out fine, and we still had a few practices where he worked on vocals with us! So cool.

And I can't wait to see more episodes in the fall! I'm looking forward to seeing if they interpret the ways Show Choirs work (wake up 5 am on saturdays for competitions all day long) correctly. Regardless, I really enjoy the style of humor and mood this show has.

GAAAAH!! I'm so angry that I missed this! But luckily I'll be able to download it for for free on iTunes for a limited time starting tomorrow, so go get it if you wanna see it again!

And I would LOVE to see Laura Bell Bundy! I totally loved Legally Blonde. I really hope this series does well! :D

I would love to see her as a bitchy rival Glee club teacher, or if she could pull it off, maybe student. LoL.

I could see her as Jane Lynch type character, but obsessed with Glee club instead of cheering, and it being her life.

Yes! A bitchy teacher would be great. :lol:

Btw, TLM, I love your avatar :D

I could totally see it, she could do that crazed look too. LoL.

And thanks, actually, I have always admired yours. I wanted a Jean one for awhile, even tho she isn't in XMOW, but Tim Pocock, was quite a cutie.

Glad to see Jayma Mays on here, loved her on Heroes, but hated her in Ugly Betty. In both she played characters named, Charlie.

Oh that's funny. I didn't know she played a Charlie i UB. Hell, I didn't know she was on UB all together. That's pretty funny though.

I only got to watch a few minutes of it (school + procrastination = bitch). What I saw was awesome though.

Hm. That's funny. I always thought the equation for bitch was:

Über crazy conservative + a vagina = Ann Coulter.


Oh well. :wink:

Two other answers for that could be, Carrie Prejean or Sarah Palin.

I've been looking forward to this ever since the first trailers appeared, but I haven't seen it yet, because it's not online yet. Anywhoo, I can't wait and I already know I'll love the show!!

I really liked this show and I am looking forward to the start of the season, unfortunately that is in September.

I've just finished watching and it definitely has to be the best pilot of the new season!! I simply can't wait to see more of it.
I just hope Fox treats Glee the way it deserves, since it definitely has the potential to be a big new hit.
The last time I was so enthusiastic about a pilot was when I saw the Pushing Daisies pilot for the first time (yes, I am still mourning PD!), but Glee makes me really excited for the 09/10 TV season.

I just watched this show over on Hulu... Omg, freaking AWESOME! I totally loved it. I really hope Fox doesn't screw this one up as they, um, tend to do.
