TV to See: Glee - "The Substitute"

So today, I (Kyle) want to blog about Glee. Woah, hold on a sec Kyle! Isn't Glee that stupid singing show that only girls watch?

Sigh. That's a shame.

Let me say this: If you like music, clever writing, and really just generally having fun watching a television show, then science says you will enjoy this show. And there really isn't a better case for the show than last Tuesday's episode. The episode guest starred Gwyneth Paltrow, in which she played a substitute teacher named Holly Holiday. If you have never seen the show, you can probably still enjoy this quite a bit:



The best parts of the episode for me included a mini-performance of "Conjunction Junction" from Schoolhouse Rock!, the little kid versions of everyone when Will is hallucinating, Holly teaching class with her interesting "methods", Will's search for a Journey song they haven't done yet, the purse falling out of Kurt's mouth in Mercedes' daydream, the awesome mash-up between "Singing in the Rain" and "Umbrella", and this hilarious quote from Sue to Will:

“I suggest selling yourself on Craigslist under the heading of men seeking men with butt chins.”

Epic.

Anyway, check it out, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. That's just the way it is sometimes. But don't judge a book by it's cover, that's all I can say about this. Anyway, goodnight everyone. Thanksgiving is coming soon, and I'm ready to come home. Bye now.
