Glee Wee

I've finally fallen into the Glee thing, having never watched it on tv, I decided to check out the show on dvd, and for the most part I'm finding it pretty damn charming and fun. The high school kids are really 20 something with Cory Monteith the heartthrob of the show pushing 30 and playing 16 year olds. The musical numbers are hit and miss I could do without tributes to Lady Ga Ga and Britany Spears and the rocky horror picture show episode was a bust. Still the dancing by and large is vibrant even though the editing and movement is too fast and furious and rarely do you get to see any footwork, this seems to be the norm for musicals these days, but the "kids" do have voices, are very goodlooking (see Mr. Monteith who might be the most beautiful young actor working today) and a few ( think Lea Michele ) might even go on to bigger but not necessarily better  things. All hot topics are dutifully covered, homosexuality both  male and female, ageism, bullying, teen pregnancies, physically and mentally challenged characters, you get my drift. There are problems and crises galore all of which seem to have happy endings, just like in real life right?  Its all huggy huggy cutie cutie, nicely packaged but a little sterile.
