Did anyone else watch this show last night? I thought it was hiliarious. [For some reason, the Washington Post described it as a drama in their review.]

Plus, you can sing along to it.

I'm sure the fact that I liked it so much and it will now have something like 4 months off before returning in the fall is guaranteed to get it cancelled after about 5 episodes.

One of the guys from Loden Dager is the costume/style consultant for it.

Fox always seems to have these critically acclaimed idiosyncratic shows that get cancelled--Arrested Development, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, etc.

I notice that this is a Ryan Murphy project. Ryan Murphy did one of my favorite TV shows, Popular[/I, a surrealist campy "teen" show back in 2000. His stuff always has a certain style.

I'm surprised Connie didn't start this thread; this show is totally in his wheelhouse.

I swore I'd never watch another FOX show after the way *********** over Reunion, but damnit, that Jouney song at the end just gave me goosebumps and pulled me back in. I was all excited to watch the next episode, only to learn about FOX's strange schedule for this show.

I don't understand why they'd air that first episode, but then not air the next episodes a few months from now?

My only quibble was with the nose of the actress who played the Tracy Flick soprano. Its such a shame- she's such a pretty girl, but that honker...

Um, that redhead is off the charts hot. I remember her from Heroes; by far the best-looking character on that show even if it was only for 1 or 2 eps.

I caught the original pilot episode only last week and was intrigued enough to watch it again last night.

The show is often very good but the inconsistency is infuriating. A few of the characters (the OCD counselor and particularly the cheerleading coach) are outstanding, but others are so flat and one-dimensional (the wooden QB, the awful wife) that it makes for very uneven viewing. It has the feeling of a character-driven show where only half the characters are doing the driving.

Still, a few genuinely laugh-out-loud moments...

The songs in the original episode were much better than last night's, which had a few cringe-worthy ones. The dubbing seemed more over the top and therefore distracting last night too.

Still, I'll probably try to watch when I can... I don't watch anything religiously. I wonder how long they'll be able to keep the plot lines running, too.
