100-Word Review: Glee (Pilot)
That title?  Yeah, pretty accurate.  FOX debuted this show — about a high school glee club made up mostly of rejects — to start building some early buzz for it before it begins its run this fall.  I hope it works.  The music throughout is infectious, both the a cappella background music and their use of 80s classics intoxicating (“Don’t Stop Believing” indeed).  I’m looking forward to seeing more of this cast, especially Lea Michele as the talented, determined Rachel.  It’s a joy to see a show with such an optimistic bent shine out in the sea of darkness currently on TV.
Grade: A-
FYI:  You can still catch the whole pilot episode for free on Hulu
ETA: It’s also available on iTunes, if you want to the file to go. (Thanks for the update, Adam!).
