sweeps month: wednesday edition

wednesday is by far my favorite night of television this season!!!


glee
FOX 9/8c

the highlight of my week is the new show, glee! glee is a comedy-drama show about a high school show choir. the pilot episode aired last year after the season finale of 'american idol' and from that moment, i was hooked! it's cheesy! it's funny! it's sarcastic! it's amazing!

in the show, you have your stereotypical characters: the jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the minority students. the creators of this show do a fantastic job of intermingling all these stereotypes and bringing them together to create a dysfunctional, yet talented, show choir.

the musical arranger for the show is amazing. i have found myself going to iTunes many times to download the songs that i saw/heard on the show!

my only complaint with the show is the obvious lip syncing that occurs. however, i have done my research and can assure you that it is, in fact, the actual actors who are singing each song (with the occasional additional background singers, not shown on-screen).

here's the season promo:






modern family
abc 9/8c

this is a hilarious, new sitcom on abc this fall. it's the story of three families (who are all related) and their unrivaled differences. there's the older father who is married to the younger woman with her cultural-centric son; the husband (who tries to be cool) and wife with their three very different children; and the gay couple with their newly adopted asian baby. seriously, it's hysterical. perhaps it's so funny because everyone can relate to it on some level!

here's one of my favorite clips from this season. excuse the advertisement at the beginning.

wednesdays are the best! i love both of these shows and have you to thank - or maybe blame? - for my obsession, er, dedication to watching them.
