Filled With Glee

The last time you demonstrated your, ah, vocal talents, it was at the sixth grade talent show. And between the little puddle of "stage fright" you left back stage, and your voice cracking on that sharp C, your recent performances have been limited to serenading the shower head.

Divulge the diva within you with your new obsession: Glee.

The Wednesday night com-dram revolves around a high school Spanish teacher trying to restore the glee club to its former glory. With a born-breed-dead performer as the female lead, and a Troy-Bolton-like football player as the male lead (a la High School Musical), the drama unfolds among students and teachers alike.

Yet Glee is everything but Disney. The show has your standard, popular pro-abstinence cheerleaders, a crippled vocal wonder, a Goth girl with a stutter, a knocked-up cheer captain, and a horny best friend.

And don't forget the teachers and the love triangles between them: the glee club director with a wife faking pregnancy, an awkward-and-sweaty gym teach, a "whatever it takes to win" cheer coach, and an OCD guidance counselor that puts Adrien Monk to shame.

The club struggles with competition from within for solos, rivalry with the Cheerios, and the pressure of placing at nationals--will this band of misfit students make it, or break it?

Above is a clip from Episode 1.6. It'll have you scouring the Internet to see where you can find an adorable yellow sundress and silver slippers (I found one at Forever 21!!).

And possibly composing your next arrangement for the shower.

Sing along Wednesday, 9.8c on FOX.
