Quick GLEE Notes

Glee returns next week but in the meantime, a couple of fun tidbits have emerged. You may have heard, as this article on E!’s website says, Tina’s hooking up with “Other Asian” Mike Chang this season. I think Artie had his chance with her so I’m glad she’s moving on. Hopefully, this means Harry Shum Jr. will get more lines.

Here’s also a look at John Stamos as Dr. Carl, Emma’s new boyfriend. He’ll make his first appearance in the second episode, “Britney/Brittany,” airing September 28.

Music-wise, you can hear the cast singing Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’s “Empire State of Mind” below. What do you think? Looking forward to Glee‘s return?

    There were also a couple of people fired, new people hired and some returning characters….In a recent HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Ryan Murphy says that traditionally, a sophomore season would go “bigger”…they’re going “smaller”….hmmm.

    I have to admit I don’t like the live cast performances as much as I like what they do on the show. They simply don’t sound as good. I’ve always been in and out on the show, but I fully plan to give it another season to hold my attention. Wonder if I would watch as much if my partner didn’t insist on watching it.

    Thanks for the video.

    I’m loving the ESoM version. And I’m liking some of the choices of new characters: Charice, C. Overstreet, and so on. I’m not that thrilled about John Stamos but let’s wait and see what they do with him.

    Anyway. I can’t wait for the season premiere.

    Bailey—Who got fired?? I know new cast members were hired (Chord Overstreet, Dot Jones) and Mike O’Malley was made series regular over the summer so it doesn’t seem smaller.

    EIREGO—You saw their live show? I now pronounce you Super Gleek.

    Poncho—For some reason Stamos cracks me up, in a good way. I think he’ll make a nice addition. I was troubled by Charice getting Botox so she’d look “fresh” for her Glee debut. If 18-year-olds need help looking young, there’s no hope for those of us older than that.

    Definitely hanging out for the new season, PCN!! John Stamos may have had the odd unfortunate incident over the time, but I really like his work and I’m looking forward to seeing him on screen again. {I miss ER already!}

      When does the new season start down there, Shell? Will try not to post too many spoilers.

      Doesn’t Stamos look like he stepped right out of ER in that picture?

        He does {and I’m glad!!} It starts here next Wednesday, so we should be pretty much on a par. But regardless, don’t worry about potential spoilers. I can cross my eyes quickly if it looks like I might see anything I don’t want to. 🙂

    Patrick Gallagher (Ken Tanaka) and Dijon Talton (ensemble member) were both let go.

      Oh, I didn’t know Mr. Tanaka had been fired! Thanks, Bailey.
