At Home with Glee

Since I watched that first episode with the cast singing “Don’t Stop Believing” on its last segment, I was hooked! Glee is the TV show du jour and almost everyone is talking about it. It is cheesy and yet exudes a certain charm that makes you want for more. Is it because of the superb scripts? Outstanding cast members like Jane Lynch as the “love-to-hate” Sue Sylvester? Excellent choice and well-arranged songs? It's politically incorrect lines? For me, it’s the whole package so SUE me!

The best episode I have seen so far was the most recent - “Home”. Aside from getting healthy doses of Sue Sylvester’s sarcasm, the show featured some of Burt Bacharach’s wonderful classics like “A house is not a home” and “A house is not a home/One less bell to answer” duet and the renditions were amazing. I was glued to the screen as Kristin Chenoweth (as April Rhodes) was singing “Home”.

As the episode title suggests, Home is where the heart is and when everything is not turning up roses, you could always come home to the open arms of your family (or real friends) sans fear of any judgment. Cheesy but true.
