Full Of Glee: I Feel A New Obsession Coming On

Rarely do I watch a pilot and immediately have to watch it again. Want to hug it. Want to roll around in it. Lost was one of those shows (I’ve since given up on it and plan to watch the last couple of seasons when they come out on DVD). Chuck was another one. And now…it’s Glee.

I’m not a fan of musicals. I can’t stomach American Idol. But I have a weakness for movies about show choirs. You don’t want to know how many times I’ve seen Sister Act. Both of them. Still, I wasn’t expecting to do more than smile a little while watching Glee, maybe want to check it out this fall. Instead I spent the episode smiling, laughing, applauding, and chair dancing. The final number, “Don’t Stop Believing”, had me simultaneously tearing up and wanting to dance with, well, glee. This is truly a gem of a show, and I’m warning the other Nice Girls now that I’m not going to be able to shut up about it.

Glee‘s full season begins this fall on Fox, but you can watch the pilot episode online all summer. I dare you not to chair dance.
