Entertainmentoday

 With so many new shows this season, it’s virtually impossible for anyone to keep up. Even with my Tivo set, I never have enough time to even check out a new show. And by the time you do get around to watching it, you hope that you’re not emotionally attached to it since it could easily be cancelled by then.  Such are the dilemmas of any TV addict!

Staying true to my favorite shows is a full time job, but the one new show I seem to make time for every week is ‘Glee’.  I just can’t say anything bad about this show. The pilot was so great, that I almost set myself up to think that it couldn’t possibly get any better beyond that.  Yet I’m happy to report that I was completely wrong.  Week after week, I’ve been getting more and more attached to this quirky cast of characters.  Set in a high school with the usual jocks vs. geeks, we get to see a teacher with a big heart take a stand when he decides to save the school’s Glee Club.  The cast is great in their respective roles and whaddayaknow…. they can actually sing!  The writing is pretty consistent, so you always get a happy-go -lucky episode which is such a warm welcome from all the CSI’s and Law & Orders of the TV World.  

And what other show can you have someone burst out in song every episode without getting on your nerves?   You’ll never see that on ‘Heroes’, that’s for sure.  Which is what makes this show so great - it not only stands out, but it completely stands on its own.
