Thursdays: I got nothing. I could see myself trying Bones/Fringe
also, Supernatural and CSI are on Thursday.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Rats. My TV viewing was looking to be conflict-free, but the new Bill Lawrence comedy is scheduled for the same time slot as Glee.

I watched last week's Glee, and I honestly don't get the love for it. I mean, is the viewer supposed to be aware that the actors aren't actually singing, or are we supposed to believe that they are? Because oh, my god. It made me cringe.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The actors are singing. Half of them have serious Broadway cred. They're just overproducing the musical numbers, which I get, in a sense, but I wish they'd do it less obviously.

Seriously? Like the cheerleaders singing "I Say A Little Prayer"? That was actually them?
It sounds and looks like lip-synching to me.

They may be lip-synching to recordings of themselves, but yeah, they're singing.
Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast.
Auditioning actors with no theatrical experience were required to prove they could sing and dance as well as act.
From here.
And I have to say, aren't you like the opposite of the target audience for this show?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I thought maybe that was the teacher's voice.

The numbers in the 2nd episode were WAY overproduced compared to the ones in the pilot. I mean, that was still some pretty amazing singing for high school kids, but it didn't take me out of the show from wondering when Artie got possessed by the spirit of Barry White.

Yeah, he's the only one I can't figure out. Apparently he was in a lower-tier boyband, but I'd like to hear him actually sing like everyone else did in the audition scenes.

okay, I had to look it up. He was in something called NLT, which never released their debut album because most of the songs got leaked. They were going to rework it and release it, but in the intervening time, the band broke up.
