Glee: How to Survive the Show's Long Hiatus

If, like us, you have practically worn out your Glee DVD, already have all of the downloads on a constant loop on your iPod and yet still can't stop thinking about the show, we've come up with some suggestions that will keep a song in your heart while you wait for the series to finally return from its inordinately long hiatus in April.

Go Back to High School with Popular DVDs
If you're obsessed with Ryan Murphy's twisted look at high school outcasts on Glee, then you must discover the insanity of Popular, his WB show. Even if you've already watched it once, it's worth another look for Mary Cherry alone! (Did someone say crossover? Did someone say substitute teacher Leslie Grossman?)

Listen to the Spring Awakening Soundtrack
Love hearing Lea Michele bust out songs as Rachel? Listen to this album as she suffers the horrors of school in Germany in the late 1800s. The musical is filled with repression, profanity and even more repression, not to mention gay characters and teen pregnancy. It's like a really retro Glee.

Watch Encores of The Pregnancy Pact on Lifetime
Lifetime movies aren't exactly good, but they are certainly campy fun and The Pregnancy Pact, with its overacted dramatics about a group of teens planning to get pregnant at the same time, should fill your void for all of the bizarre baby bump madness that tends to happen on Glee.

Skip to the Singing Scenes on Pushing Daisies
Pushing Daisies is wonderful, but if you just need your next fix of musical numbers, skim through the episodes to find Glee guest star Kristin Chenoweth belting her tiny little heart out to numbers like "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

Watch Jessalyn Gilsig Die on Nip/Tuck
Upset that Terri totally lied to the adorably dopey Will Schuester for the first half of the season? Watch her nutty character Gina on Nip/Tuck as she comes to a most untimely, but well-deserved, demise.

Meet Figure Skater Johnny Weir
There's little that's more fabulous on television these days than the over-the-top Glee, but Olympic figure skating might give it a run for its money -- especially the amazingly glittering and theatrical Johnny Weir. Check out his Sundance Channel show, watch his "Poker Face" performance or just tune in to the Olympics to see him in action.

Rent Julie & Julia
Don't worry, we're not suggesting you sit through the painful Amy Adams portions. Just watch the bits in which Meryl Streep's Julia Child interacts with her equally fabulous sister played by Jane "Sue Sylvester" Lynch. Watching these two together just never gets old. And that's how we 'C' it.

We've also got Glee video clips and interviews to sate your appetite. If you have other (preferably musical) tips, leave 'em below.

I say if you're really missing Jane Lynch, you should rent Best in Show or A Mighty Wind. Christopher Guest brings out the best in her.

This site's obsession with Glee is reaching Twilight-level creepiness.

Although at least the Glee articles are new--not a "Who we hated on Top Chef" article TWOP ran six months ago and just stuck on the front page again to fill space because Bravo said so.

Watch RuPaul's Drag Race! Nothing can beat it for the pure camp-factor. And at the end of each episode, there's a "lip-synch for your life".

Or go watch Modern Family on ABC. No musical numbers-but also hilarious. So glad my DVR records both shows.

Watch "Across the Universe." It has its "out there" moments---it is a Julie Taymor film, after all---but the musical numbers are fantastic.

I'm seeing Spring Awakening in two weeks! No Lea unfortunately, but the music will be just as awesome. I'm just excited it's going to be on, since I fell in love with it a year ago and it's finally coming to Australia! And to add to DC' comment, definately watch Across the Universe, it's awesome.

I just watched season 1 of Popular on DVD. Lots of foreshadowing of things to come in Glee:
Use of dated language -- "smelt" and "gussied up," for two examples
An evil teacher's diatribe about the value of caning
Cheerleading team named "The Glamazons" who rule the school

Yet another reason why David Stern want the lakers to win this title!!! Bill Kennedy ( Celtic hater ) assigned to officiate game 3 and now Eddi F-ck Rush ( celtic hater and a fan of the lakers ) assigned for game 4. This is a joke , yall. It couldnt be more blatant who Stern and his crooks in the league office want to se win the championship and its not the Boston Cletics!!!Im hoping our fans will give Eddie F-ck Rush the treatment tonight because if we dont , you just know that he will find a way to help the lakers.THE NBA IS THE MOST CORRUPT LEAGUE IN AMERICA!!!!

The root of your writing whilst appearing agreeable initially, did not sit very well with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in logic and you would do well to fill in all those gaps. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I will certainly end up being impressed.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educated and entertaining, and let me tell you, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the difficulty is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about.
