A Whole Lot of 'Glee'

To be entirely honest, I didn't watch the pilot episode until early August. Until this summer when Rachel mentioned if I had seen the show, I really hadn't heard about it. So, in short it is the reintroduction of the glee club in an Ohio high school while the cheer leading coach, football coach and other students work to bring down the group of, well, not so popular kids. When you explain it, it sounds like a bore, but it is the funniest thing I have ever seen. The cast is so talented and you are instantly captivated by the characters. We now have a group that gets together on Wednesday to watch So You Think You Can Dance and Glee. If you haven't seen the show, check out the extended preview. I guarantee it will make you a GLEEk!

What the show has also given me is a topic for my case study in Integrated Communications Principles class. What makes this show so unique too is their method of advertising and use of social and online media to build awareness and hype for the show. What is cool about my masters work is that we get to choose areas that interest us and then do our projects from that. So far this semester i have gotten to read a book about the making of the Broadway musical Big and as I mentioned, a case study on Glee. It certainly makes the work a lot easier and more interesting.
