Yay! THIS is the episode I have been waiting for all season… when everything hits the fan! I mean, tension can be enjoyable, because it keeps you wanting more. But, I have been waiting for Finn to find out about Quinn and Puck, for Will to find out about his wife, (yes- last week…) and for Will and Emma to kiss! Yay! And on top of that, the ending Kelly Clarkson remake was one of my favorites! (Especially with the montage of all of their songs/routines they did…)

This will be the shortest post ever… but that’s really all I have to say. I loved the episode. And I’m really sad that we have to wait for the Spring for it to air again. (I’m sure because of American Idol…) Ellen Degeneres had better make American Idol worth watching in place of Glee.

So, did you like it as much as I did? We’ll keep you posted in the Spring about air times/days.

I have to say, I really enjoyed this episode… more so than many of them in the past. The school-girl crush was absolutely hilarious- both Suzie Pepper (was that her name?) and Rachel. Of course high schoolers have crushes on the young, good-looking teachers. I still remember the one young male teacher when I was a Senior, and all the girls had a crush on him. (However, he was also married, and no one was dumb enough to actually flirt with him!) And no one would be so clueless to not get his awesome mash-up ballad: “Young Girl/Don’t Stand So Close to Me.” Loved it!!

I was also so glad that we’re finally getting somewhere with people finding out about Quinn. (However it didn’t take the turn I thought.) Yay for Finn’s mom, and handling it in the absolutely best way possible. Boo for Quinn’s parents. Who does that?! I think we’re seeing this theme come up again and again… kids either make mistakes, or their lives go in a direction their parents wouldn’t want. And parents can choose how to handle it. Despite what your child does, thinks, says, etc. don’t you want them to know that you’ll always love them, no matter what? I hope there are people out there, who might gain a little different perspective from watching this show. Although every aspect might not appeal to everyone, I can definitely see the positive messages they’re trying to convey.

I am really starting to feel bad for Puck. He’s actually trying to be involved, and take ownership, but is being shot down. Even Mercedes told him it was Quinn’s choice and to get over it! (Which I don’t agree with.) I’m seriously waiting for it to come out, for someone to believe Finn about them not having sex, and to explain to him that he can’t possibly be the father.

Overall, a great episode in my mind! Glee airs Wednesday nights, 9pm PST, on Fox.

I actually think this may have been my favorite episode so far. Between all the (mostly) fun songs, seeing very little of Terri and Quinn, and having Kristen Chenowith guest star, I thought it was great. I love Chenowith- mostly from Wicked and Pushing Daisies. But she has really begun to make a name for herself in Hollywood, and I think she’s fabulous. Both as a singer and an actress. I was a little skeptical about her singing pop songs… she clearly has a voice for Broadway. (It was very evident when she sang the Cabaret song.) But I loved her and Will’s karaoke duet.

It was so much fun to see Glee do a real performance. (Although I really didn’t care for the country song.) But the second number was awesome. I actually sat there, smiling, tapping the beat. I realized- this is why I started watching the show in the first place. It makes me want to be a part of something like that.

I’m really looking forward to the juicy drama to come. Will is finally curious about his wife, and her lack of nausea. I’m glad to see they’re not making him out to be a total idiot. But Terri is going to start working at the school? That will definitely make things awkward with Emma and Will. And at some point, I think Puck is going to break down and admit to being the father of Quinn’s baby. Can’t wait!

When Quinn told Finn (huh- rhyming names…) that she was pregnant, my first thought was, “Why is everyone lying about being pregnant?!” And then, about 10 minutes later, I pretty much guessed what the real story was. Big surprise… president of the Celibacy Club is not exactly celibate. And nor is she faithful to her boyfriend. Still, who is dumb enough to think that someone can get pregnant in a hot tub, without having sex?! I wonder how long that lie will last. But even funnier, is Terri going to try and adopt Quinn’s baby? All while keeping her pregnancy a lie? This is getting good… But as my husband pointed out to me last night, the only problem with this show is the “unrealistic” factor. What husband is never going to touch his wife’s belly for an entire pregnancy? What wife could possibly carry out a lie of that magnitude for 9 months? What guy would believe he could get a girl pregnant, in a hot tub, without having sex? Anyway… I’m trying to not think about that factor so as to be able to keep enjoying the show.

The entire gay scenario was inevitable. As homosexuality is becoming more mainstream, shows are forced to show that side, and most are wanting it to be more widely accepted. While I don’t feel this is the place to voice my opinions about homosexuality, I did love the scene with Kurt and his dad. And especially how his dad reacted. Being a parent, I hope that I would have a similar reaction if faced with that scenario. I’d want my child to know that I loved them, no matter what. (I do love that Kurt “auditioned” for the role of kicker.)

And, hands down, the best scene of the episode was the football team dancing to “Single Ladies.” I loved it and was laughing out loud! So great!!

Okay, any doubts I may have had last week were completely dissolved in watching the episode last night. And, I’m seeing a theme emerge from each episode. As last week was all about sex, this week was about guts. So, I’m all in, and totally loving it!

First, I could not get over how hilarious the guys were when they sang “Happy Birthday” in 3-part harmony. And then to come up with the name “Acafella.” I was laughing out loud as they rehearsed in the living room together. I had even seen the title for the episode ahead of time, but I didn’t pronounce it correctly in my mind. And I loved Josh Groban’s little guest appearance!

Second, with every episode, I love the Cheerio coach more and more. She plays a fabulous “villain,” and although she’s pretty unrealistic, it makes for great entertainment.

Oh, and I can’t forget to mention how great it is to have a “cougar hunter” in the mix. As the show gets rolling, I think we’ll see certain people start to play more prominent roles. Who doesn’t love a good teenage boy/friend’s mom romance? Ha!

Lastly, I can’t wait to see what’s in store with Will’s wife. I don’t know how anyone falls for knowing the sex of a baby before you even have smidgen of a belly to show for it. But, whatever. I guess the longer she keeps it a secret, the more dramatic it will make it down the road.

This is one of the most highly anticipated fall shows for us over here at blogthedayaway.  I just caught this new clip FOX released on Hulu, which just reminded me of how excited I am for the actual season to start.  Enjoy!

For a pilot Glee was pretty spectacular.  I hope that means really good things are to come.  So in case you missed last night’s show you can watch it here.  I would definitely check it out.

So the story goes the old glee coach gets fired and the spanish teacher decides it would be awesome to take up the mantle.  He has super high hopes for the club but no one else believes in it including his wife.

The supporting staff of teachers are fabulously quirky and the kids are AMAZING.  Finn and Rachel the male and female leads are gifted singers and performers.

I think the funniest part of the show was when Finn was making out with his girlfriend who is one of those super chaste Christians and breaks up the session to pray.  I don’t know why I thought that was hilarious but it definitely hit me the right way.

I know it kind of snuck up on us but did anyone else catch Glee last night?

Glee is coming in the Fall on FOX this was just a sneak peek.  I’m really looking forward to it.
