Wondering why Kurt looks so happy? Well, if we had to guess, it probably has a little something to do with GLEE’s upcoming November 18 episode entitled “Ballad” where he’ll find himself hooking up with Finn. In the musical sense that is (seriously slash fiction writers, get your heads out of the gutter!) when Mr. Schuester splits the Glee Club into pairs to sing their favorite ballad. More photos of which you can see after the jump (Including a first look at serial-guest-star Sarah Drew).
Thanks to the seemingly never-ending World Series, tonight has FOX once again benching GLEE in lieu of some match nobody outside of New York or Philadelphia care about. Thus, in an effort to raise your levels of well, glee, this TV Addict thought we’d take the opportunity to fill our fellow Gleeks in on a little secret: When the continuing adventures of McKinley High does return next Wednesday November 11, it does so in a big way by delivering what is hands down the best episode to date. And not just because Kurt and Rachel are pitted in a head-to-head diva-off that may-or-may not defy gravity.
Rather, the show improves upon the one, possibly only thing that it has been severely lacking by delivering genuine and more importantly plausible character development. While at the same time firmly shining the spotlight on the one member of New Directions who until now has been left quietly waiting in the wings. And considering the episode is titled “Wheels,” you probably can guess whom we’re talking about.
With ‘New Directions’ warming the bench until November 11 thanks to the World Series, leave it to those sly marketing gurus at FOX (whose mantra of late seems to be Don’t Stop Believin’ Promotin’) to keep GLEE on the brain by flying the gang from McKinley High to Philadelphia for Game 3 to perform last night’s national anthem. ‘Good Vibrations,’ watch your back!
Good News: LOSTerminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse chose to use their twitter account to reveal that 62-year-old Die Hard alum William Atherton will guest on the final season of their hit ABC show LOST. Bad News: For super-scooper Michael Ausiello, who if this trend keeps up, may soon find himself out of a job! [Source]
Good News: Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming variety show FAMILY GUY PRESENTS: SETH & ALEX’S ALMOST LIVE COMEDY SHOW just got the kind of publicity money can’t buy after the Parent’s Television Council warned potential advertisers to stay away. Bad News: For the Parents Television Council, who you’d think after all these years might have realized that nothing builds up interest in a show like their ludicrous Fatwas on funny. [Source]
Good News: As series star Jesse Tyler Ferguson quite accurately pointed out via his twitter account, “For all u 18-49 year olds who have been bellyaching that Glee & Modern Family are on at the same time, u can watch MF guilt free tonight.” Bad News: GLEE is a repeat. [Source]
Apparently we’re not the only ones who are obsessed with THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Turns out, when she’s not busy acting, singing and promoting her hit show GLEE, star Lea Michele is hooked. “Getting ready to pick Mr Groff up from the airport! Let the week of fun begin!!! But first Vampire Diaries. Why is this show SO good!” Now all that’s left is for @msleamichele to publicly proclaim her loyalty: Team Damon or Team Stefan?
Did actress Leven Rambin (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) just spill the beans on yet another GREY’S ANATOMY/PRIVATE PRACTICE crossover? Maybe, maybe not, but one thing’s for sure: According to this tweet, the actress, who is on the set of GREY’S ANATOMY as we tweet speak is poised to be hitting up both shows in the not-to-distant-future, “The Lord answered all your prayers! Thank you all so much! I’m going to be on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice this season, y’all!” Hmmmm, perhaps @shondarhimes would care to shed a little light on this?
With t-minus two hours to go until a brand new episode of GLEE, we at theTVaddict.com thought now would be as good a time as any to spread a little well, glee.
• Not to knock this week’s Entertainment Weeklycover story on the FOX phenomenon, but we sure as heck wouldn’t have dared risk the wrath of Sue Sylvester by leaving her off the cover. We’re just sayin’ • Adam Lambert and Madonna come out…as GLEEKS! • The LA Times ranks GLEE’s Top 10 performances. Loses points for including New Direction’s arch rival Vocal Adrenaline on the list. Seriously LA Times, whose side are you on? • All your tweets belong to Gleeks! •The NY Post asks:Is there such a thing as too much GLEE?
