Five Awesome Musical TV Episodes
The 2010 Tony Awards this weekend had its own share of special moments and the first season of Glee is over and has received mixed reviews — despite the fact that it’s continuing on for at least two more seasons — but before Glee ever happened and in spite of the Tonys, television ventured into musical territory on special occasions: to celebrate a landmark episode, to reward faithful viewers and/or because the writers finally figured out a way to make it somewhat plausible.

After last night’s show-stopping performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Jonathan Groff kissed his guest role as the male diva Jesse St. James on Glee goodbye. This season also saw Idina Menzel, Neil Patrick Harris and Kristen Chenoweth in short but endearing parts that won the audience over, not to mention stars like Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John playing themselves.

Just when you thought Glee couldn’t get any more ridiculous than a mother-daughter “Poker Face” duet, it breaks out choreographed pregnant teenagers and Matthew Morrison seducing Jane Lynch. But instead of pulling us out of the action like any good ridiculousness does, it just makes us rubberneck—like a particularly bad car crash—so we miss a lot of what makes it good.... read more

Let’s start with the end of the episode first, where a mother-daughter duo sang the words “bluffin’ with my muffin” and tried to sell it as a moving and believable moment.

If a nationwide tour, a concert at the White House and positive critical/commercial reactions in a time slot that competed with Lost‘s final season aren’t indicators of success for Fox’s Glee, first of all, sheesh! You sure are hard to impress. Secondly, there’s this: The show has already been renewed for a third season, even though it hasn’t even finished its first.... read more

We love Sue Sylvester with the kind of reverent love we usually reserve for the Costanzas and Tobiases. The track suits. The Cheerios. The condo in Boca. The sexual ambiguity.
