Top 3 of the Week: Why You Need to Join the "Glee" Club!


Finally, FOX's hit show returns this week. I don't know about you but I'm filled with "Glee" that it's returning. I know, that was corny. But contrary to popular believe, the real "Glee" isn't.


1) The Musical Performances
Few shows in the past have attempted to feature musical numbers. Any show that has, has failed miserably. As a fan of Broadway, its refreshing to find a show that can mix the perfect amount of theatrical performance and make it current without making it forced. Get ready for a full episode of Madonna covers, and KISS, Springsteen and Lady Gaga songs featured on the show. Let's see if it can top the popular number, "Don't Stop Believing."



2) Jane Lynch
A comedic genius. You may remember her from The 40-Year-Old Virgin, or her role in underrated Best in Show. But there is not one line that this woman delivers that doesn't make you want to laugh. Lynch plays Sue Sylvester, the hardnosed antagonist who will stop at nothing, and really at times for no reason other than the sheer joy it brings to her, to take down the Glee club (a threat to her cheer squad, the "Cheerios"). A scene-stealer for sure, Lynch alone should convince you non-musical loving fans to tune in.



3) The Upcoming Guests
The beauty of having a hit show that melds TV and music is that everyone wants a part of it. Already having featured Eve and Kristen Chenowith, who's returning again along with her
Wicked co-star Idina Menzel. Neil Patrick Harris and Molly Shannon stop by for a few episodes, with Shannon going head to head with Sue. If you love music, comedy and a quality storyline, it's time to join the club and start watching Glee!
