MY THOUGHTS

I LOVE this show!  I loved watching as much the second time as I did the first time.  Glee is full of singing, dancing, and a very hot teacher!  The singers are amazing, Jane Lynch is hilarious, the principal is hilarious, and what else can I say?  Oh yeah, Will Schuester is hot!  I look forward to more Glee episodes to come.  Thank you to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for an amazing show!
