The WOW! Buzz

It’s official, I’ve been Glee’d.  It started Friday night on my train ride home.  I have heard many rave reviews about the show and had even initially set my DVR to record season one.  But, with all the shows that were taping at the same time, I had to make a decision and unfortunately Glee was deleted from my must record list.  As the buzz grew about the show, the more upset I became that I deleted the recordings.  By the time I was able to watch the show, I couldn’t find a place to actually watch the episodes I missed without having to pay for them.  A big bummer for me but that’s the entertainment business for you.

Anyways, I gave in and purchased the pilot episode.  As I was watching it, I started to become caught up and knew at that moment why the show was as big as it was.  It is very entertaining and refreshing.  It isn’t exactly groundbreaking (High School Musical started this phenomenon).  On Saturday I went to my local Best Buy to buy the first season because I wanted to get caught up before watching the new episodes which started last Tuesday on FOX.  (I don’t know about you, but I can’t start watching a series in the middle.)   

Yesterday I started out watching the first disc and thought that it might take me a week or two to get through.  But, that wasn’t the case.  I was hooked and spent my entire Sunday watching the entire first season.  It was so bad that I ended up watching last week’s episode on top of it.  I discovered that I watched over eight hours of Glee and still wanted more.  The singing and choreography is wonderful and stays true to the basis of the show. 

I have become a Gleek and am proud of it.  If you love Glee, what hooked you?
