Mr. V and I have the tendency to get really addicted to TV shows. You need only read this post devoted to How I Met Your Mother to see it's true. I think it's probably because we are not huge TV people, and we only watch a show if we think it's really good.When I accidentally caught a half-hour of the series premiere of Glee back in the spring, the quick wit and singing caught me immediately. Later in the summer, my sister let me watch the whole episode on her (tiny) iPod, and I knew I'd be keeping an eye out for the show in the fall.
Although there are some things I don't love about it--I feel like it's a bit too sexual when it could be very family-friendly and some things are very unrealistic--the incredible music and hilarious one-liners have me completely hooked.
In case you are not
I've played most all of them through on LaLa this week and while I'm not in love with their version of "Defying Gravity" (which has not been shown yet on TV), the insanely catchy "Don't Stop Believin'" is worth the 9 bucks itself! I also LOVE "No Air" and "Take a Bow." The woman who plays Rachel is an incredible Broadway actress and her phenomenal voice really makes this show and the CD.
So, you know, if anyone wanted to get it for me for Christmas, I wouldn't complain. :)

P.S. One of my best bloggy friends Mary, from Giving Up on Perfect, does a recap of Glee each week at Blissfully Domestic. They are funny and great! You can see me comment over there most weeks, 'cause you know I've always got something to say about it!
*I was not compensated for this review in any way, no one asked me to do it, I just love the show and the music. If you use one of my links to buy something off Amazon, I do get a minuscule percentage and will be your friend forever.*
