And so it begins.

I just hope the whole show doesn't become just a promotional vehicle--that they keep using songs for their connection to the plot, and not because Madonna offered it to them or something.

On a more positive note, I just watched the first three episodes--I am very much enjoying the show! Really fun.

Lots of emotional moments in this episode:

- I really love Kurt's relationship with his father, how they stick up and look out for each other.

- Tina confession to Arty

- Sue reading to her sister (I totally thought she was using Becky too but even that would be kinda cruel for Sue, so I'm glad it was a fake out and that we learned more about Sue)

- Puck wanting to do right by his "family"

Episode 1.9: "Wheels"

Principal Figgins: Shu, I saw all your kids in their wheelchairs and I was very impressed.

Will: Well thank you, Principal Figgins, but actually it’s made me realize that there’s only one wheelchair entrance in the school and it’s all the way in the far end of campus. McKinley needs ramps.

Sue: No way. Those are what I call lazy-makers. They discourage our able-bodies students from getting their proper exercise by using the stairs.

Sue: Okay, let me break this down for you here. There comes a point when you got to stop seeing people for what they look like and ask them to show you what they can do. And as soon as a cheerleader rolls herself out onto the field in a wheelchair, she becomes decidedly less effective at cheering people up. It’s just a fact.

Tina: How did it happen? You don’t talk about it.

Arty: My mom and I got into a really bad car accident when I was 8. She was fine but I’ve been in the chair ever since. But I want to be very clear, I still have the use of my penis.

Sandy: Is there a lot pain Noah?

Puck: The doctor said the shark fractured my spinal cord.

Sandy: This is why I don’t go to the aquarium.

Sue: You think this is hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they’re going in another direction - that was hard.

Episode 1.10: "Ballad"

Will: Ballad. From middle English – ‘ballad’. Who knows what this word means?

Britney: It’s a male duck.

(Will and Rachel are singing “Endless Love” - awesome duet!)

Kurt (in his head): I could totally sing this song to Finn. But screw him if he’s taking the Diana Ross part from me.

Puck (in his head): I love the days when I don’t wear underwear…..full commando.

Finn (in his head): I never noticed how nice Rachel’s butt is. Oh crap, I think Quinn knows I’m staring at it.

As they sing, the looks Will kept giving Rachel and Will walking away when she tries to go near him. :lol:

Quinn’s dad: Glenn Beck is almost on.

Finn singing “I’ll Stand By You” to the sonogram on his computer. LMAO!!

Finn: I have to go. They’ll think I’m pooping.

Poor Quinn. (But the actress is not that good in dramatic scenes) The fallout of her parents finding out was pretty good.

Finn’s mom and Kurt’s dad need to hook up!

Terri making Rachel do housework. LOL!

Pepper: Let me tell you a few things I learned from two years of intense psycho-therapy and an esophagus transplant, lesson number one: You and Schu – it won’t work.

Rachel: What do you mean?

Pepper: We’re not so different you and me. We’re both mildly attractive and extremely grating.

Yay! Jenna Ushkowitz/Tina got a solo. I lover her voice and thought she did a great job on "True Colors".

The "Imagine" rendition was very sweet!

Episode 1.11: "Hairography"

Book title: “How to Raise A Baby On Five Dollars A Day” :lol:

Kendra: Just take your vitamins, stay out of the hot tub and avoid rum based drinks and you’ll be fine.

Rachel: Kurt, why did you volunteer to give me a new look?

Kurt: One, I’m a sucker for makeovers. And two, you need something to distract from your horrible personality.

Kendra: You got the beauty but I got the brains and the beauty.

Quinn: What are you doing on Friday?

Puck: Just the usual. Just going to stand outside the 7-11 and look depressed until someone offers to buy me beer.

Will: Britney, take it away.

Britney: Take what away?

Britney: It’s like cool epilepsy.

Kendra: I think this is the first time they have all been asleep at the same time…..What’s that smell?

Quinn: Soap.

Terri: You got them to take a bath???

(Quinn nods)

Kendra: What are you, an exorcist?

Grace: Um, who do you think I am?

Sue: That’s actually a good question because I forgotten both of your names.

Matthew Morrison was really good in the scene where Will finally found out that Terri wasn't pregnant. And when Will ripped out the pregnany padding - a bit scary!

Episode 1.12: "Mattress"

Ken: We are not rescheduling. D.W.F. Hall is booked until June. The only reason this Saturday is available is cause it’s the one year anniversary of that grizzly fish fry shootout. I got a monster discount. We just gotta be out of there before the candle light vigil.

All the clubs Rachel joined: Speech Club, Mock United Nations Club, Renaissance Club, Muslim Students Club, Black Student Union :lol:

Sue: Am I asking for too much, Ohio Board of Statewide Holiday Planning? All I want is just one day a year where I’m not visually assaulted by uglies and fatties. Seriously, Ohio, these retinas need a day off. So here’s the dream, Friday after Christmas which I have off, if you’re hideous stay at home. Spend the entire day watching home videos of a time when you weren’t too repulsive for me to ever want to look at….and that’s how Sue sees it.

Rod: Slammin’ Sue. We’ll be right back.

Sue: Andrea, that Sue’s Corner I just did…I was talking about you.

Sue: Well of course you didn’t, Will. You wouldn’t know if the Glee Club was using your office to breed rabbits for pets or for food.

Sue (to a pregnant Quinn in the cheerleader outfit): It’s like looking at a porno star in a nun’s habit.

Sue: Is there any reason you have a soiled mattress in your office, Will? Have you and the red-head have become so sexually depraved that you have to commit your craven acts of adultery in between classes?

I don't think I have commented in this thread for Glee, but I have to say it's absolutely my favorite primetime show on TV. I can't help but smile thinking about Glee!

The news of Glee not returning until APRIL is horrible.. is this a good move for FOX, overall? April just seems so late in the year. How many episodes can they get in?

Episode 1.13: "Sectionals"

Sue: Bring it on, William. I’m reasonably confident that you will be adding revenge to the long list of things you’re no good at - right next to being married, running a high school glee club and finding a hair style that doesn’t make you look like a lesbian.

Brittany waving from the audience. :lol:

Rachel: Okay guys there’s no point in us arguing anymore. We have to go on in an hour –

Tina: And we have no songs.

Artie: Perhaps I can improvise some of my Deaf Poetry Jams.

Finn: Cool if I take my spot back?

Jacob: I was just here because I was hoping to get into Rachel’s pants.

Candace Dystra: Okay, I’m just going to come out and say it, this is a singing competition…..I don’t know how those deaf kids got in….they weren’t singing, they were like honking and everyone was crying and I was like ‘Get off the stage, you’re terrible and you’re making me super uncomfortable.’

Rod: Now hold on just a second, Candy. Those Hable-Hurst kids twice had me reaching for my handkerchief and those Jane Adams girls had it going on it all the right places.

Yeah, April is really late for a full season that consists of 22-24 episodes. If they go to 22 episodes, they will finish in June, which doesn't make any sense. If they finish in May, it'll be 19 or 20 episodes probably.

Okay, so this is from Perez:

One of the many reasons I hated Will and Grace was because of all the stunt casting.

I'm very worried their going to damage Glee with this kind of nonsense too. Why do this? The success of the first 13 episodes had mostly to do with a focus on the fresh faces...and a few broadway stars thrown in.

Is Glee the new format for an Ed Sullivan/Carol Burnett style variety show? Is that what this is becoming?

Maybe. I'm worried about the "back 9"...but we'll see. I think a show like this might toil best before the publicity hits. The first 13 episodes were basically filmed in obscurity, with no one knowing if the show would make it. I believe that likely helped to fuel the "striving Loser" dynamic that the show plays so well. Now that they're an international megahit with a hit show, albums, DVD sales, and soon concert....who knows if they'll be able to stay connected to their humility.

Plus, I'm not interested in what Jennifer Lopez or Idina Menzel offer in a particular week...I'm more interested in what Mr. Shue, Sue, and the Glee kids are going to deal with next.

I'm a bit worried too, but then again Glee's strength isn't really in its character writing--the show is even more inconsistent with dropped plot and story elements then Ryan Murphy's other show Nip/Tuck--one week the club is the teacher's life, the next week he happily leaves it to focus on his own adult male singing group, etc--I actually almost like that irreverent aspect to Glee (though it drove me crazy with NipTuck which is more of a soap opera--soap opera, no matter how outrageous, doesn't work when storylines are routinely dropped and forgotten, character behave differently every episode, etc.)

    • I was cracking up at how Silk Press tried to hump Not Ted's leg as soon as Kat walked in, but her cackling at the end is getting OTT.
    • I think Doug needs to get his own sidepiece, but not Dani. Dani is only tolerable with Andre (and her daughter Chelsea), so let's keep her there. How about Shanice? She seems like she really cares about him as a person.
    • Does anyone know the air date on the very first time Stephanie referred to Brooke as "The Slut from the valley"?
    • Does anyone know the air date of the very first John & Stefano scene? As well as the air date on the very last time they had a scene?
    • They interacted before when Dani and Pamela were at the casino. 
    • The last few episodes have been good; the acting, the emotions. It's nice to see that GH can still do classic soap opera. I do wish that they would respect their long term audience more and do it without all the silly rewrites though. And where do they go from here? I'm a bit pessimistic and fully expect the show to go back to the drama-less, boring mess it usually is. I'm giving it a month, tops.
    • RATINGS & PREEMPTIONS UPDATE:   1979-Present: 4 Weeks of data missing:   1 Fast Weekly Week: 8/24/81...This week is missing the prelim ratings and full/partial preemption data.   3 Partial Regular Weeks: 12/14/87, 5/20/91, 5/27/91. These three weeks have ratings data (one from Daytime TV; the other two of the three weeks have ratings & share data from Soap Opera Weekly) These weeks are missing the affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books.   TOTAL: 4 Weeks of data missing from 1/1/79-Present (out of 2,422 weeks) 99.9 percent complete!   1973-1978: 35 Weeks of data missing:   10 Full Regular Weeks: 9/3/73, 9/10/73, 9/17/73, 9/24/73, 10/1/73, 10/8/73, 10/15/73, 10/22/73, 4/10/78, 4/17/78. These ten weeks are missing the final ratings/shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books. For September 1973, the full preemption data is not confirmable, but newspaper listings & Vanderbilt News telecast listings provide the best list possible in its place.   25 Fast Weekly Weeks: 4/23/73, 6/25/73, 8/27/73, 12/24/73, 4/22/74, 6/24/74, 8/26/74, 12/23/74, 4/21/75, 6/23/75, 8/25/75, 12/22/75, 4/19/76, 6/21/76, 8/23/76, 12/20/76, 4/18/77, 6/20/77, 8/22/77, 12/19/77, 3/20/78, 4/24/78, 6/26/78, 8/28/78, 12/25/78. These 25 weeks are all missing the preliminary ratings and full/partial preemptions data.   TOTAL: 39 Weeks of data missing from 1/1/73-Present (out of 2,735 weeks)  98.6 percent complete!   Note: From the Days of Our Lives and Another World research, the full & partial preemptions should be all available, even from the 39 weeks above.
    • Yes. They were very much out of ideas for Reva by this time. A talk show, blindness...the time travel story... That would have made sense.  (were they acknowledging the Beth/Bill relationship by this point)

    • I can see why the Sam/Amanda story went downhill so fast. Thomas Gibson was a terrible replacement. I don't remember the circumstances of RKK quitting  (if his contract was over or if the departure was more acrimonious), but Gibson just sucks the energy out of every scene. He has no chemistry with anyone.
