Bwahaha, I think I liked that more than I'm going to like Glee tomorrow. But an homage will still be fun.

See you tomorrow night :)

Well, that was better and worse than I expected.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Rocky stuff. I was very disappointed with Glee as a show, and am not nearly as interested in watching the series from the start as I was before last night.


But as an excuse to do some numbers from Rocky, I think they pulled it off nicely, and explained away the odd "casting" choices reasonably.

Toucha-a-Touch Me was absolutely the highlight for me. So well done, cute, sexy, rather brilliant, imo.

The other numbers came off pretty good, too. The Time Warp, which I saw leaked on the internet, was the worst of them - so I'm glad that was the spoiler. The odd take on Sweet Transvestite was rad, and Hot Patootie was wild fun.

Alas, I was disappointed in cutie boy, Chord Overstreet. Oh, he's better looking and more buff than I even anticipated - but I think he's a terrible actor. Actually, perfect for Rocky in every respect. Maybe he'll get some on-the-job improvements as the show goes on, but I thought he was awful - except for looking pretty. Perfect.Rocky.


And it was, to my delight, a pretty perfect Rocky Horror homage. But I'm meh about the show and the characters. Maybe I'll try and catch a "regular" episode, but I think it's played a little too silly and yet not surrealistic enough for my tastes. Fantasy High School is a tough tone to tackle. It's not fair for me to judge it based on one episode, I guess. But I'm not impressed.

So for me: Glee=Huh? What's all the fuss?

Not its best episode, iSm. The best stuff comes from Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) and Brittney S. Pierce. And they weren't tip-top.

I have a love-hate relationship with Glee. I love it, I can't stop watching it. But when I step away, I feel like it's not that great. And yet I love it, and I keep watching it.

Give it a shot from the beginning. You might find you have the same problem. Or you might be on one extreme or the other. Don't judge it by last night, though.

Well, a main problem I had was ... Jane Lynch's character is the break-out. Sue Sylvester has become famous even to people who don't watch the show. And now I don't know why. I didn't think she was funny or entertaining or enjoyable to watch. In fact, I felt that way about ALL the characters, but since she was supposed to be such a standout of comedic brilliance - I was left really scratching my head.

BUT ... to be fair, I'll rent the DVDs and watch the first half of the first season that got everyone hooked.


And I enjoyed the Rocky stuff tremendously.



Oh, cameos by Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf were inspired (though I didn't recognize poor Meatloaf - time hasn't been kind.)

We have just recently started watching Glee from beginning and so far we are happy with it (we just watched the first episode on the second disc last night).

Although I am amused about the uproar about the "sexualization" of Glee from the GQ shoot. I think it was the second episode where they do a racy dance number to Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It"
