If you're not watching Glee, you're missing one of the most original and entertaining show on TV. Now usually being original and entertaining is the kiss of death for a TV show. Pushing Daisies is a perfect example. Great show, great cast, great writing, lousy ratings. Death. Oh yeah and by the way here's 4 posthumous Emmys.
Now comes this bit of surprising news. Glee and it's cast of unknowns is a bona fide hit!
The new musical comedy from Fox is only a few episodes into its initial 13-episode run but the network has decided to give it a full-season order, various news sites report.
This means an additional nine episodes will be commissioned, to bring the tally up to a full season's worth of 22.
Glee premiered early this month to rave reviews and pulled in an audience of about 7.3 million viewers, holding on to its numbers for the first three episodes. That's huge in network numbers.
The show's writers are spinning some juicy backstories. It's not all singing and dancing. It's a wickedly sharp edged and smart comedy as well. Good shows like this don't come around often. Ones that survive come around even less. I challenge you to watch an episode and not find yourself laughing, smiling or tapping your foot at some point. Possibly, all 3 at the same time.
Do yourself a favor and set your DVR for Glee!
Full episodes can also be found on Hulu.

I love this show too!! It's great! I can't stop watching it.
That is awesome news- it would suit me fine if one day it is given an award For The Longest Running Sitcom In History award.
Thanks for reminding me of Pushing Daisies- need to give it a try.
Oh good, it's on Hulu! Everybody says how great it is but I'm DVRless and I have class the night it airs so I haven't been able to watch. Thanks for the heads up.
I didn't even know your blog existed until BG added it...and what a pleasant surprise! You do a great job and keep it up!
