SOUND OFF SPECIAL EDITION: GLEE, The Broadway Bowl
by Robert Diamond
- Feb 7, 2011
With the biggest budget in the history of the mega-hit GLEE - all-too-befitting of the post-Super Bowl expectation-heavy extravaganza, whatever the network or entity - how did the highly-awaited return of the hottest show on TV fare in its raptly anticipated - making the most vociferous among the gleeks near-rapacious - super-duper Sunday special edition and how did it score across the board? How does it measure up to the massively successful Season One and the best of the best of the rest? What about side-by-side with Season Two? See why 'The Sue Sylvester Shuffle' was a Super Bowl stunner or a lamentable loser of a let-down in this play-by-play recap of the biggest (ostensibly) Broadway-related event of 2011 - at least until the Tony Awards in the Spring; not counting SPIDER-MAN (but that isn't a 'musical' anyway, right?). See who scored big and see if anyone fumbled - and who, at the end of the game, made the stadium truly rock.
FLASH FRIDAY: The Big GLEE Game, Plus Fireworks
by Robert Diamond
- Feb 4, 2011
Huddle up, gleeks! This week, we are casting our sights on the dual-dose sleeks will be getting - first, following the big game on Super Bowl Sunday is the highly awaited Super Bowl spectacular return of GLEE on FOX, and Tuesday's "Silly Love Songs" Valentine's Day Tribute episode has its own winsome and winning charms and allure. What's most exciting is the monstrous music events each promise to be - and here, in this column, we have everything from the Katy Perry opening number of the super-special Super Bowl show and Darren Criss taking on "Bills, Bills, Bills" to Lea Michele tacking Lady Antebellum and, of course, the hoped-for Holy Mary game-saver the mash-up of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Heads Will Roll" is supposed to be! In taking a look back at Season 2 so far, GLEE could use a pristine, knock-down/drag-out victory. Will they score?
