I have to say, I was as skeptical as the next person about Fox's plans to air this show's pilot in May and then wait until September to launch the season, but it seems their plan has worked. Everybody is pumped for new episodes of this show. Doesn't it feel weird? That an actually great, network show has people interested in it, and might have good enough ratings to survive a little while? It's still a gamble, because the show is really, really gay and musical theater-y, so who knows how the older or more conservative crowd is going to feel about it, but for right now I'm just so happy.
I've seen the next few episodes, and I'm as thrilled with them as you'd imagine, but you know what's going to get really annoying pretty quickly? A lot of the songs, because of the production schedule, are pretty stale. Episode four is fantastic and hilarious, but the whole thing revolves around Shane Mercado-esque "Single Ladies" dance parodies. See what I mean? And there are a lot of things like that. Tonight, for example, they perform "Gold Digger," and I'm sure you recall that their competition sang "Rehab," the most overplayed song in the history of overplayed songs, in the pilot.
But that's really my only quibble, and it's far from a dealbreaker. This show is awesome and I hope it lives forever. New episodes start at 9 PM tonight on Fox.
