The 2nd episode of Glee isn’t as good as the pilot, but I’m still onboard. I have a feeling Lea Michelle may earn an Emmy nod if she keeps things up. And, my favorite character so far is Jayma Mays’ guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury.

As for whether Glee is a drama or a comedy, I think it’s somewhere in between, like Gilmore Girls, Men In Trees, and Boston Legal. Maybe that’s why it appeals to me. Some shows with nothing but drama can be boring or depressing. Straight-up comedies can sometimes be too goofy. Glee strikes the right balance. Lea Michelle’s solo near the end of ep2 was definitely a dramatic moment in my book.

I *finally* got around to watching the pilot episode of Glee that was free on iTunes a few months ago. I wasn’t sure if I’d be interested in it. It looked a little too, uh, “gleeful” for me, but…

Unless the 2nd episode does something to change my mind, I may just be onboard.

One of the better pilot episodes of a new show in several years. Great script, good acting, excellent editing, and I loved the final musical number, even though I’m not a huge Journey fan. The episode felt like a mix of the movies Election and Mr. Holland’s Opus, but there’s nothing at all wrong with that.

And, as added bonuses, Jayma Mays has never looked better (have her eyes always been that big?), it’s nice to see Jessalyn Gilsig play a pleasant character again, and I’m betting Jane Lynch will continue to have some of best lines.

I was with ya until u mentioned Melrose so not interested and I hear it did terrible in the ratings. How about the move Smallville out of death nail Friday instead! I loved Vampire Diaries . I thought it was great. Thursday is now the D&S night. Hot Brothers’ Central.

Will be watching 4 of the 5. Am leaving out Melrose, just not my cup of tea.

bws — I want SYTYCD to do well b/c I like the show, but at the same time I don’t want it to get better numbers than the summer b/c that will just further convince the networks that people don’t watch TV in the summer…

yeah, it looks like TVD did 4.84 million. Not bad… but seeing as everyone that I know who watched said it was laughably bad, it could see a sharp drop next week.

I’m also curious how the Cat Deeley show does in its first fall debut. I hope it beats the summer numbers!

TVA, I know we’ve had the DVR/Nielsen ratings discussion before. and I know how it unfairly rewards CBS shows, whose average viewer just leaves their TVs locked on CBS 24/7. So if you don’t want to post them out of principle… that’s ok. I’m guessing one of the other lesser tv cover guys and gals will have the numbers. I just think of the numbers as relative. Did a show do better or worse than the previous week?

I know the system is flawed, but I enjoy seeing the ratings too. Although it usually just infuriates me (that many people are watching Two and a Half Men instead of Chuck?? WTF??…going to happy place).

I read on EW that Vampire Diaries was the biggest premiere for the CW last night. Not exactly suprising given the vampire craze of the moment.

John,
I’ll concede that GLEE might not have been the best choice for the dramatic category, but it balanced out my comedy list.

bws,
I’m still debating whether I want to post ratings this year, I have a lot of issues with the way things are being measured, but just so you know GLEE did very well and FOX is quite pleased.

TVA, will you posting ratings each morning this season? I haven’t seen how Glee did the other night yet. I know Melrose debuted to lukewarm numbers but it fits so squarely in the CWs demos that it is very likely to go on for 25 years no matter what.
