Glee's Pot Of Gold.



I watched this episode on November 1, 2011 and I was very excited to spot some of the Glee Project winners appearing, my favorite character new to Glee is Rory Flanagan. Rory is played by an amazing Irish vocalist; Damian McGinty. His character is new to McKinley High School is suffering from harassment because he is the new student who also talks "funny". Brittany one of the ditsy cheerleaders believes him to be a leprechaun and required three wishes in order for her to help him make friends. This episode appears to be hinting that these two will be developing a relationship in the near future, which could only mean heart break for poor Santana another cheerleader who is currently hiding out in the closet. Along with this love triangle we are brought back to the adoption of Beth and her parents Puck and Quinn, both of whom want the baby back. How ever just to add more drama into this show, Puck's lips seem to find his teachers at the very end of the episode, who just so happens to be Beth's adoptive mother Shelby. I feel this show falls into the Drama field, as it certainly has it's fill of it! While watching this episode I found two commercials that seemed to run each break those were from Lowes and Nissan. Axe deodorant ran about three times, while the other two ran about five times. There were a few other commercials all seeming to be geared toward the young adult, or family audiences. These commercials were, Disney Parks, Lexus, Sprint, Kraft, and Tresemme. I feel that the advertisers have done a good job at reaching the correct audience by placing commercials that would relate to their lives.

Glee is filmed on a set, that was created to become a High School. The cast are high school students, and faculty. This show mixes drama with music so you have a musical feel as well as the drama produced by an ongoing storyline. Because Glee has such a huge variety of drama it does seem to be a typical young adult drama show, however Glee has mixed it up with music giving them a little edge and difference.

I feel Glee is full of stereo typing, you have the typical Joke, The ditsy cheerleaders, the flamboyant gay boys, and that female pe teacher who looks more like a male than female.

Wow, if I was a visitor from another country viewing Glee, I think I would feel much like Rory, I'd be very confused. We have such a huge diversity in our culture It may bring on a shock or two. I enjoy watching Glee, I love the actors and the music. The storyline with the student falling for his teacher is a bit much, but it is an issue we do deal with in today's society. I Can't wait for the next episode to see what happens and hear that amazing Irish ascent again.
