OK, so who watched the pilot of gLee on Tuesday night!?  I watched in on Hulu on Wednesday and I think I found my new favorite show and so far, it has gotten a lot of praise.  I have yet to read anything negative about it... of course, until someone decides to be spiteful and say something derogatory about it on here.  :-P  But that won't count...

 

What is more, the show is based out of Lima, Ohio which is exciting but what is sad, of course, the show is not filmed here.  Now, I don't suggest that full production move here, but it would be nice if somehow we would cash in by filming an episode or two here.  Maybe they go to a regionals and it is held at the real Lima High School.  Or they go to states and perform in Cincinnati like my high school choir did. 

 

It always bothers me how there are so many shows that take place in Ohio but the state seems to do little to cash in on it...

 

3rd Rock from the Sun...Toledo

Family Ties...Columbus

WKRP Cinicnnati....Cincinnati

Drew Carry Show...Cleveland

Jericho...Columbus

10 Items or Less...Dayton

 

Kinda random... but oh well, it's just me.

I liked this show a lot. I hope it does well. It reminded me of "Election" a lot, which is one of my favorite movies ever .. kinda poking fun at itself, but it still has a bit of sentimentality and heart to it. Not so much that it makes you sick to your stomach, though.

 

The rendition of "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse was my favorite moment. Totally hilarious.

Apparently the creator of the show is from Indiana near Lima.  But he did admit that he did not go to there often. 

I liked gLee alot, though some of it was a little goofy...like having a 5 person choir sound like a 50 person choir.  I love the lady from Best in Show...she's hilarious.

 

FYI, Jericho took place in Kansas.  The new capital of the US was Columbus but I don't remember any scenes that took place there.

Ya, no scenes actually took place in Columbus but it played a very pivitol role in the show, not only was it the new capital of the united states but it was also the city that hawkings was sent to destroy.  I just think that if the series were to have continued, maybe they could have had some scenes where the people are meeting in Columbus.  apparently there were some scenes of Cheyenne, the new capital of the Allied States of America, being rebuilt... 

Just watched it. There are a couple throwaway lines that did seek to at least make a little Rust Belt-y. But to get that kind of diversity in Ohio - you've really gotta hit the bigger first ring suburban high schools (Westerville, Princeton, and the like), not that it is trying to be too real.

It was funny.
