Fox has come up with a brilliant way to compete against the regular television shows. Welcome to the world of bunch of high-school misfits, musicians and popular kids who try to hide the fact that they are a part of this world. Welcome to the Glee club at William McKinley High School . While being fictional, the school is set-up in Lima , Ohio
Will Schuester [played by Matthew Morrison], a very good-looking and passionate teacher is in charge of the sinking Glee club. In this particular episode [Episode 7, Throwdown] he gets very heated when Sue Sylvester [Jane Lynch] who is in charge of the school cheerleaders, also fondly known as ‘cheerios’ decides that she wants to be the co-advisor of the Glee club. He knows that she is up to no good, and is more surprised when she chooses all minority kids to be in her ‘Sue’s elite glee club’. Both these actors play their roles very commendably and it is very refreshing to watch them.
When we first meet the kids of the Glee club you form opinions of who would be popular and who would the stereotypically misfits. However, kids such as Quinn Fabray [played by Dianna Agron] or Finn Hudson [played by Cory Monteith] who are part of the popular crowd at school you realize that they have their own insecurities and secrets that keep them from being very honest with everyone else and in our mind they are the misfits rather than anyone else.
The language and the way the creators handle the comical as well as emotional situations is extremely hilarious! For example, Sue Sylvester is shown to come across as an extreme racist [Episode 7, Throwdown] she mentions that the students should only study Spanish if they want to be gardeners or washers however the situation is extremely funny and you take it light-heartedly rather than in an offensive manner.
Even though I was, vary of watching this show because it was labeled as a musical; however, when I watched the show I immediately loved the energy and storyline! The music and songs are not that from an opera or a classical symphony – they are new and popular songs that everyone will enjoy. The writers of the show do an amazing job with the storyline, because there is nothing that does not make this show relatable to different viewers.
Viewers can catch this show every Wednesday on Fox. If you miss the airing on television, here's a link to the website where you can catch full-length episodes.
