Failure Bread

Dude.  Drop whatever the fuck stupid nonsense you’re doing right now, and go to fox.com, and watch the teaser pilot episode of Glee.  Go ahead.  I’ll wait.

Since I’m not stupid enough to think you actually surfed away from my addictive blog to watch some TV show, let me just give you a heads up before you go clicky-clicking like a good little follower: You will watch this show.  When it airs this fall, you will watch this show.  You will love it, but even if you don’t, you will watch it, because if you don’t and it gets cancelled, then I will bomb Fox Studios and you will never know what the hell is going on with Lost!!!  Or House.  This is not a drill; you know when I am willing to put House on the line that I am pretty God damn serious.

My sister put me onto this little gem, and it was enough to make me forgive her for going to see Bride Wars.  This show, even if it is set in a typical TV high school, is so friggin’ cute, and even better, it’s a show about, duh, a glee club.  Which means singing and dancing.  Which means Fox has finally picked up on a trend in human behavior that will not be dulled by time or fads: the people love music.

I think most people harbor a secret love for musicals that they won’t admit to because it seems lame or geeky.  And even musicals aren’t your thing (”How do they all know the words?!”), it is human nature to appreciate, love, and even crave music.  If it weren’t, and loving music was just something only the hardcore music dweebs did, would the iPod exist?  It would not.

Anyway, watch Glee, because I want to watch Glee.*  If you’re still skeptical, do as I suggested and go watch the pilot episode on fox.com.  Sit through it till the end, even if you start to think it’s not your cup of tea.  I defy you to watch the last five minutes of this show and not smile and think, “Damn, we need more of this on television, I will be watching this motherfucker.”  Why?

Because I don’t care who you are, a capella Journey is EVERYONE’S cup of tea.

*Also, because it is apparently where the cast members of Heroes go when their characters get killed off.
