"Glee" Thread
Eventually the season one thread as well. Pilot/preview is on 5/19 after American Idol. Hopefully this "experiment" works and here's hoping, ya know, that the show delivers.
This thread is dedicated to Libs and Corpse.
I'm pretty excited.

I've give the pilot a shot. I like the rendition of Don't Stop Believing and Jane Lynch is just a piss.

I could actually see the sneak pulling in close to 20M viewers.

That would be really exciting. I hope it's a breakout hit.

I feel like it cannot possibly live up to my expectations. But I do not care.

Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
I'll watch the first episode to see how it is. That's saying alot because I don't watch like anything current.
“Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.” “We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.” “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” “You have to pretend you get an endgame. You have to carry on like you will; otherwise, you can't carry on at all.” "Paper is dead without words / Ink idle without a poem / All the world dead without stories."

Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
I saw an ad on TV last night (had no idea what it was before then) and I'm looking forward to checking it out, much to my surprise. I'm especially excited to see how it performs after IDOL. Seems like a great match, unlike most of the shows IDOL has lead into. But there really hasn't been anything else that would be THIS fitting. It should see a very large sampling for this sneak episode, like 18-20 Million.
When will it be back then after this episode?

Mike, it should be back around September after this one-time airing, apparently having the Fall edition of So You Think You Can Dance as the lead-in (again, another perfect pairing).

Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
That's a damn long time to wait . But this airing should create a lot of buzz. I wonder if they'll air the episode again during the summer? And of course it will likely be heavily downloaded. It's all about the lead-in. I couldn't see this being a big hit if it weren't for this debut after AI. That was a very smart move.
What does SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE average in the ratings?

Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
Yeah, the first season of SYTYCD ran into October and those got 6-7 million, but that was when SYTYCD was still fairly weak, ratings and competition-wise. However, it has much tougher competition this year (it will be its first double season AND there are a bunch of dancing shows in the fall). If it can keep 8 million and a 3 in the demo, it should be fine.
Another comparison is America's Got Talent which does gangbusters in the summer but when it took a break for the Olympics last year, the fall episodes were pretty weak in the ratings.

A Kris/Adam finale on Idol and then the first episode of Glee. I think I may legitimately die of sheer joy tonight. Thanks, Fox!

I liked it, it had it's cliche moments but whatever. I'll give it chance this fall.
Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
I liked it. A nice first episode, had some cliches but also some new interesting takes on the whole high school experience. The HSM thing has been done before yes, obviously, but I like the redone versions of modern songs plus anything that has Don't Stop Believing grabs me instantly.

I can see this being the kind of show I fall in love with. It wasn't a perfect pilot but that's rare. Even though Don't Stop Believin' has been featured on all the ads ad nauseum since Idol basically started, it was still a pretty magical moment.

Re: "Glee" Thread (Special Preview/Pilot) - 5/19 on Fox.
I enjoyed it. Major props for featuring two Journey songs (including Don't Stop Believing, which is my favorite song :p) and an REO Speedwagon song. I'm looking forward to seeing more in the fall. The upcoming episodes look like they'll be getting even better.
I loved the performance of Don't Stop Believing in the end. It was really exciting.
As a bonus, the teacher guy is really sexy.

The version of "Don't Stop Believin" by the cast is already #2 on iTunes. I think this may have done really well in the ratings.
