I have been watching this new TV series "Glee" which started showing on cable TV Star World Channel 18 about 2 weeks ago (every Wednesdays, 9pm) and it tells the story of an optimistic teacher who against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach's attempts tries to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.
I have been following the series as i love its interesting and meaningful plot and the songs featured in the series. The first season of Glee consist of 22 episodes and i found out online that Fox TV has commissioned a second season of the show and i'm already looking forward to watching season 2 :> Watching the show makes me ponder over the difficult choices that one has to make in life whether as a student or as an adult choosing what they want in life and how they are all affected by peer pressures and the influences of their loves one. The dilemma faced by Will in choosing to continue to follow his dream of being a lowly paid high school teacher and sticking with the Glee club against the wish of his demanding and unhappy wife is what alot of us are facing in real life but in the form of society which i sometimes hate and i find myself cheering him on as he tries to continue with what he believes in the series :> Just do whatever you believe in as life is short and there is no time for regret!
Glee focuses on a high school show choir (also known as a glee club), called "New Directions!", set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. Glee features 12 major roles with star billing. Matthew Morrison plays Will Schuester, McKinley High's Spanish teacher who becomes director of the Glee Club, hoping to restore it to its former glory. Jane Lynch is Sue Sylvester, head coach of the cheerleading squad or "Cheerios", and the Glee Club's arch-nemesis. Jayma Mays appears as Emma Pillsbury, the school's mysophobic guidance counselor who has feelings for Will, and Jessalyn Gilsig plays Terri Schuester, Will's demanding and amoral wife of five years.
