The one thing Diablo and I agree on and other bits of joy.

Glee is a good time.  Diablo Cody and I both stamp it with a seal of approval.
So, one of the reasons someone didn't like this was "stereotypes dating back to the 80's". ALL THE WAY TO THE 80's. I think they probably date back to the beginning of the high school dynamic. Or the beginning of time.

But stereotypes exist because they're true. Not all the time. But enough of the time to be recognized.

I really enjoyed this show. It's fun. And the music is pure liquid joy.

Yes, high school shows have been done before. Yes' we've seen the unpopular rise above the popular. But, you know what? High school is the same as it always has been. Sure, certain things change, but every four years, a new group of kids endure what, to them, is a brand new experience.

So, I welcome yet another telling of the same old high school story.

It's okay to just sit back and have a good time. Seriously. It feels nice.

Also, this morning I learned that ABC is remaking V.  If you don't know V, you don't know epic 80's sci-fi.  Oh, and they're remaking it with Morena Baccarin.  If you don't know Morena Baccarin, you don't know epic 2000's sci-fi.  The original V miniseries was something we had on tape that I watched whenever I was home on a sick day.
