REVIEWS:

gleefanatic said: I thought it was quite a disappointment. The episode had no point to it. It was scattered and moved a little too fast. I thought they needed more of Terri trying harder to get pregnant. great beginning when will says he can't hold it in any longer and tells his parents and Terri's like "What?!?!?!?!" Kurt was funny when he said he liked Rachel to Mercedes. The part where Will just turns to the screen and says "This is how we dooo it!" was kinda odd. Not as many song as I had hoped. Only about 5. =( AND WHAT HAPPENED TO SUE SYLVESTER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! The best character in the show was in like 2 scenes!!!!! There was barely any Rachel in it. Puck was kinda funny. With the whole MILF thing. "But cougars never let down." I was completely shocked that he just joined glee out of the blue. the scene with Josh Groban and Will's mom was funny because of how it related to Puck's but I think we should have seen Puck try to get some at the concert too. Kinda funny how Emma tells Ken to shut up everytime he speaks and hilarious that Terri notices how Emma looks at Will but I think we needed more dialogue from Emma. I think Sandy Ryerson was funny but still unneeded. im sure they culd have thought of another reason for Josh to be there or maybe sandy just came because he heard Josh was coming. I think he took up time that sue sylvester couldve been making us laugh. Not enough between Rachel and Finn. I don't want something as traumatic as a kiss but they completely ignored each other this time. and we barely saw either of them. Will was kind of weird of how he kept transitioning from being in a "boy-band" to being a teacher. It didn't coincide with the commercials. Mercedes's transition from reality into her day dream wasn't clear. They did it so quick it seemed like they put it in just to take up time.

i think i missed something...

RECAP

Will and Terri are hosting dinner at their apartment for Will’s parents, and he busts out with the news, “Terri’s pregnant. It’s a boy!” Of course, she’s not pregnant, but she digs the hole deeper, announcing that they’re turning her craft room into the nursery.When alone with his father (played by Victor Garber from “Titanic” and “Alias”), Will confides that he doesn’t want this and is already “up all night about it.” His father takes the blame for Will’s lack of confidence – he gave up his dream of going to law school to sell insurance. He tells his son that being a man is all about one thing – guts. “You have about 6 months to figure out if you have any.”The newly enlarged Glee Club (now with cheerleaders!) doesn’t care for Will’s choreography. The cheerleaders say they have to hire Dakota Stanley, the best show choir choreographer in the Midwest. “He was the understudy to the candelabra in ‘Beauty and the Beast – on Broadway!” gushes cheerleader Santana. Quinn points out to Will that he never performed after high school, part of their evil, evil plot to undermine Will and all of Glee Club.This barb nags at Will, and he goes to Emma, who suggests he didn’t have the guts (there’s that guts thing again!). He wonders if it’s awkward for him to confide in her, but she reminds Will that they’re both in relationships. Yes, in a futile attempt to tamp down her love for Will, she’s dating Coach Ken, about whom she says. In the teacher’s lounge we see that Sandy is back – he says he can be on campus as long as he stays at least 50 feet from kids. Shop teacher Henri comes in, with bandages covering both hands. Seems he has a problem with over-the-counter cough medicine, which doesn’t mix well with shop saw -- he cut off his thumbs. Another teacher, Howard, enters with a cake featuring … two thumbs up! All the male teachers are sitting around bitching about their lives and break into “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” in Henri’s honor. Will thought they sounded great, so they form an acapella hip hop group, the Acafellas, which is more accurately a middle-aged boy band. Soon they boot Sandy from the quintet: “When you’re in a group, it’s creepy.”Terri complains of the Acafellas’ rehearsals: “If I don’t get some sleep, I could miscarry.” Yet Will doesn’t complain her newfound passion for Will in the bedroom (remember, she’s not really pregnant and is trying to get knocked up before her ruse is discovered).Will’s time has been consumed by Acafellas. He’s been missing rehearsals, and the club votes to hire Dakota Stanley, but Finn thinks that would be a betrayal. He and Rachel have a quick tense chat about the betrayal, which leads to a discussion of their kiss in the auditorium, which she insists was “real.”Sue Sylvester meets with the cheerleaders about their infiltration. “I learned a lot in Special Forces,” she tells them. “I was on the strike team in Panama when we extracted Noriega. Take out the shepherd, then take out the sheep. You need to go after these glee clubbers one by one.” Her goal: “I want my full budget restored…I need a fog machine.” (Isn’t Jane Lynch delicious in this role?)Mercedes, standing at her locker, sees couples all around. Kurt arrives, and she asks if he’s kissed anybody. Yes, he says, “if by someone you mean the tender crook of my elbow.” No, he admits, but he wants to. To console her he says, “The only thing that gets me by in the knowledge that we are superior to all of them,” and they walk down the hall arm in arm. The cheerleaders walk up and tell Mercedes, “You should totally scoop that” and insist she’s his type. And Mercedes starts to believe…which is kind of hard to believe, even though they are in high school. I mean, he’s gayer than all the “Queer Eye” guys combined.The Acafellas perform “(That Girl is) Poison” in a local bar and Emma is breathless with lust for… “Ken, Ken Tanaka!” she claps. Uh, right, you’re not fooling Terri. Will’s parents say they’ve sold all 17 copies of their CD, “and I didn’t even have to show anyone my bosom,” says his mom, who’s played by theater and TV veteran Debra Monk. Principal Figgins loved the performance, and he wants Acafellas to be the main event at the PTA meeting the next week. The band is reviewed in the local paper very favorably, which doesn’t escape Sandy’s notice. “I want in,” he tells the Acafellas in the faculty lounge. And his bargaining chip is Josh Groban, who’s going to be at the PTA meeting. “He’s an angel sent from heaven to deliver platinum records unto us,” says Sandy of the curly-haired crooner. Turns out that Sandy and Josh have become “frequent pen pals” since Josh accidentally friended him on MySpace. “The blogs are all atwitter,” says Sandy, “they say he’s looking for an opening act.”The Glee Club gets out of Kurt’s Lincoln Navigator, which his father got him for his sweet sixteen, after he promised to stop wearing form-fitting sweaters that stopped at the knee (guess what he’s wearing in this shot). They’ve arrived on Vocal Adrenaline’s territory to talk to Dakota Stanley about choreographing for Glee Club and come upon two girls (one’s barfing in a garbage can) who say he’s a monster. (You’ll remember from Vocal Adrenaline are the superstars of glee who sang “Rehab” in the pilot.)Inside, Vocal Adrenaline is rehearsing another Broadway-ready number. When they finish, Dakota barks, “Get off my stage!” The Glee Club chases him down and he tells them his fee is $8000 per number plus a $10.000 bonus if you place in the top 3, “and with Dakota Stanley at the wheel, you will place in the top 3.” How will we get $8000, Rachel ponders.The Acafellas have problems too. Howard quits the band (“I’m doing inventory – it was never my dream”), then Emma breaks the news that Henri is in the ER for ODing on cough syrup and has to go to rehab. Finn announces to Will that he’s “quitting Glee too.” Will implores that he have the guts to stick with it longer or he’ll regret it. “Trust me, I know.” Then a light bulb moment – Finn + Acafellas. Yes!Meanwhile, in the locker room, Puck proposes to Ken that he join Acafellas. Turns out he has an ulterior motive – he loves some hot moms. Ken grabs Puck by the shirt and tells him that Acafellas is the only thing keeping Emma with him – it drives her crazy in the pants, so Puck better not screw this up.Later in the Glee Club classroom, Will gives Finn and Puck a dance lesson. The boys have the steps down, but they seem stiff in their movements. Will teaches them a relaxation technique by imitating swinging a baseball bat, which works wonders for the boys. They get the routine down perfectly.The Glee Club is having a car wash fundraiser so they can hire Dakota. While washing Kurt’s car, Mercedes says they need to make it official, that they’re dating. He says he thought he’d made it clear, he’s in love with someone else. He looks up to Finn, but Rachel’s in their sightline. Mercedes thinks she’s the lucky lady, and he doesn’t correct her. The she busts the windows out his car and sings about it. That was quite a car wash – Dakota’s directing the Glee Club. He insults everyone but the cheerleaders, and everyone in the original Glee Club walks. “We’re going to win because we’re special,” says Rachel, before she fires Dakota.Ken’s applying mascara as the Acafellas prepare to perform for the PTA. Sandy rushes backstage to tell them that Josh Groban is there – “Big brown eyes, cute as a buttermilk biscuit. I barfed.”The Acafellas sing "I Wanna Sex You Up," and the crowd goes crazy; no one crazier than Emma, whose ardor for Will is palpable. And who could blame her? Yeah he’s a married guy, but ladies and gentlemen, the man has moves. Josh Groban comes backstage to deliver praise … and a restraining order to Sandy: stop emailing, stop sending nude photos, no more edible gift baskets, locks of hair, or sonnets. Wow, Sandy.Terri apologizes to Will for not being very supportive of the Acafellas. Meanwhile, Will’s mom’s is backstage with Josh Groban who’s wooing the much older woman: “Let me tell you something – throngs of screaming teenagers don’t do it for Josh Groban. No, Josh Groban loves a blowsy alcoholic.” (It was the best line of the night.) “I’m a bit drunk” burps Will’s mom, “and I’m afraid I’m not making good choices right now,” as she leans in for a kiss.Out in the parking lot, Will’s chatting with his dad and acknowledges that though the Acafellas was a dream come true, he wants to be a teacher. And Will’s father announces he’s going to law school.Mercedes and Kurt chat at his locker “I hope it works out for you and Rachel,” she tells him. Kurt admits he lied, and says he’s gay. She’s the first person he’s told. She encourages him to tell other people but he says he’s not that confident. (Can’t wait till Kurt busts out of the closet in a big, big way. I know it’s gonna happen!)Since Glee Club fired Dakota Stanley, Will’s back, and they’re working on a new number. Everyone’s thrilled. Sue tells the cheerleaders they’ve been a total disaster. “They need to smell your armpits,” she says. “That’s the smell of failure, and it’s stinking up my office.” She revokes their tanning privileges for the rest of the semester. As she leaves, Quinn says, "Ms. Sylvester, I want to thank you for teaching me a valuable life lesson -- when you really believe in yourself, you don't have to bring other people down."

My opinion?

i think that if Will quits one more time I'll kill him ;D

& I loved that guy from sheets & things.

amazing plot detail there.

I also have to admit i loved sandy in this episode.

"WHO IS JOSH GROBAN? KILL YOURSELF!"

REVIEWS:

KimberlyB said: I loved it! I watched the whole hour with a big grin on my face. That was such a tease though, because we have to wait until fall for the next episode. "Sit down, you're rocking the boat" sung by the kid in the wheelchair made me snicker.

Wild-Cat said: I'm particularly lovin' the music--they are totally makin' eighties music back on the in!

noobloser said: I know I'm in the minority here, but it's a little bit of a trite concept, being a little HSM at times, and predictable at times (along with the ending promo, I can already see the problems ahead). HOWEVER (you were about to mouth me off weren't you?), the humor on this show balances it out, and makes it better. I couldn't stop laughing during "You're the One That I Want", and the cover of "Don't Stop Believin'" was very nice. Makes me wish I had the money to spluge on iTunes singles. All in all, I will definitely be tuning in during the fall (I cannot wait for the series to start, as many people have said), but I have the episode downloaded onto my iPod to tide me over until then (thank God the episode was free!).

RECAP:

A cheerleading team practices on a high school football field. We see their scowling coach, the incomparable Jane Lynch (playing Sue Sylvester). She scowls at the cheerleaders and yells, “You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded, that’s hard.” Welcome to “Glee”! An older car with Ohio license plates and a muffler that scrapes the ground pulls in the school parking lot. It’s our first glimpse of teacher Will Schuester, who comes upon a pack of football bullies who intend to stuff a fey, well-dressed young man into the dumpster. “Make some new friends, Kurt?” Will asks. He tells one player, in Spanish, that he owes him a report and moves on. Kurt protests that his jacket is from Marc Jacobs’ new collection, and Finn stops the beatdown long enough to hold his jacket…and wince.Inside William McKinley High School, Will stops at the trophy case, which includes one from 1993 for show choir. A plaque to the deceased teacher reads, “By its very definition, Glee is about opening yourself up to joy.” Will looks pretty grim.In the music room, a bespectacled teacher, Sandy Ryerson , plays the piano while wearing a fuchsia sweater over his shoulders. Beside him is a muscular young man singing, “Where Is Love?” from “Oliver.” The teacher’s ... er ... appreciation for the fellow is obvious, and he joins the boy in a duet while touching the handsome fellow’s stomach. A girl is spying on this scene… The teacher’s lounge is out of coffee, a situation Will discusses with coach Ken, a bulldog of a guy. Cheerleading coach Sue enters with lattes, very proud of herself for her discerning palate. Emma, a cute redhead teacher, comes in and Coach Ken tries to flirt with her. She’s having none of it. But she does have something for Will Schuester: this is clear from the look in her eyes. She gets into a spat with Sue about money that was diverted from from the teachers’ coffee budget for the Cheerios (the cheer squad). I guffawed at Sue’s next lines: “Your resentment is delicious. Well, I have a phoner in a couple of minutes. It’s an interview on the telephone with a major media outlet. I’ll probably do it on my iPhone.”Impeccable Emma has taken out disposable gloves and started to sanitize her table. She’s not a fan of germs, it seems. She’s also single and lookin’ for love, though she insists to Coach Ken that he won’t see her at any singles mixers. She reveals that Sandy, whom we’d seen with the young singer, was fired, and Will asks, “Who’ll take over Glee Club?”Next, we’re in the principal’s office, and – surprise! – Will’s taking over Glee Club, but if Will wants to take over Glee Club, he’ll have to pay $60/month out of pocket, plus use only the costumes available. What will he do? Oh, you know – he’ll spend a sleepless night agonizing over the decision and then will take over Glee Club. How else would we have a show? He has an epiphany to call the club “New Directions.”A Glee Club sign-up sheet is posted in the school hallway. Mercedes Jones, who resembles a high-school-age Jennifer Hudson, belts out “Respect” in her audition, and gets some.Next up is Kurt, from the dumpster incident. He sings “Mr. Cellophane” (from “Chicago”) in a voice that could come from a female speakeasy singer. It’s rather fascinating, honestly. Tina, a punky Asian girl who stutters, sings “I Kissed a Girl.” We then meet Rachel, who says she’ll sing “’I’m on My Own’” from the seminal Broadway classic ‘Les Mis.’” She always puts a gold star after her name, people throw drinks in her face, and it’s revealed that she turned in Sandy for touching that young male singer (but really, for robbing her of the solo!). She’s not homophobic, she insists, she has two gay dads! She’s been given lessons all her life to “give her a competitive edge.” She posts a MySpace video every day to “keep my talent growing.” These days, she says, “being anonymous is worse than being poor.” The Cheerios look at her videos and post nasty comments.We don’t see Artie’s audition, oddly, but he’s granted admission. In fact, at the first rehearsal, Artie in his wheelchair at the center of the production, singing with Rachel. Rachel says, “We suck.” Will finds her on the bleachers and convinces her to stay. She explains that she’s a sophomore and can feel the clock ticking away. She tells Will she needs a male lead who can keep up with her. In a bedding store a wound-up woman is telling another worker that if he can’t fold a fitted sheet, he can’t work at Sheets ‘n’ Things. Will arrives, and we realize this is his wife. Oy. He brings her a sandwich, and she objects to mayo because “if my diabetes comes back, I can’t get pregnant.” He breaks the news that he has to stay late to oversee detention in exchange for keeping Glee Club.Will hears a man berating a worker in another part of the store – it’s the disgraced Sandy, whom Will learns has been getting medical marijuana and selling it, making 5 times more than his teacher salary. Plus, he’s been selling to coach Ken. Back at school, Will knows he needs to add more kids to the Glee Club. He hits up Sue to recruit from the Cheerios, but she says Glee Club is the sub-basement of the high school caste system, while the Cheerios are at the top. Emma urges Will on, telling him that all he needs is a couple popular kids and Glee will seem cool. Coach Ken has Will talk to the football players, who laugh off Glee Club. Later, Will overhears Finn singing “I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore” in the shower, and Will is inspired. He says this is why he wanted to do Glee Club – to see the gift in a kid that they didn’t know they had. To help him see his gift, Will plants marijuana on him and blackmails him to join Glee Club. Nothing like being a mentor, is there?It turns out that when Finn was younger, his mother dated a lawn painter (you read that right) who was a wannabe rocker. He also rocks a mullet. When he and Finn belted out Journey’s “Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’” together, he said, “With that voice, my band would still be together.” When the lawn painter moves on to greener pastures, Finn vows to himself to make his mom proud.The first song Finn sings with the group is a duet with Rachel, the Grease duet “You’re the One That I Want.” Yes, there is a frisson between the two, and all agree that Finn’s the one that Glee Club wants.Back at Will’s house, he and his wife, Terri, are doing a puzzle. “You usually don’t let me in your craft room,” he says. They get into an argument about her spending – she likes lots of Pottery Barn items and crafts, of course, and generally having a lot of stuff. She pressures him to make more money and says she gets his interest in Glee Club but that high school’s over for them.Emma jumps on a chance to chaperone the kids (with Will, of course) to a Glee competition on Saturday, when they’ll see their big competition. Finn lies to his football pal, saying he has to help is mother on Saturday because she’s having her prostate removed.Coach is upset that Will “stole his quarterback.” He’s extra upset that Emma’s into Will, and he can’t entice her with monster truck tickets. Hard to believe, right?At the Glee competition at Carmel High School, Rachel tells Finn that the rest of the team expects them to become an item – “You the hot male lead, and me the stunning young ingénue everyone roots for.” He reveals he has a girlfriend, cheerleader Quinn Fabray, who happens to be the president of the celibacy club. Fun extracurricular for the yearbook! Meanwhile, Emma and Will share a PB&J sandwich. Don’t all great love stories start that way?We learn Will and his wife were high school sweethearts, but things aren’t as sweet now. Emma’s very eager to hear his marital problems. In the auditorium, Will tells the club that this is their [air quotes] competition, but since his gang is more talented, give them some respect. We know where this is going…Vocal Adrenalin appears -- they’re three dozen strong, dressed to the nines, and as well coached as a Broadway cast. Singing the unexpected, incongruous “Rehab,” they’re slick, energetic, and oh-so-star material. Tina stutters, “We’re doomed.”Back at school, Finn’s football buddy, Puck, exposes his lie: “Chicks don’t have prostates. I looked it up.” Terri delivers the news that she’s pregnant, and he decides to give up Glee Club and become an accountant (which she’d nagged him to do for a long time, we surmise). He stands in an empty auditorium and plays the guitar and sings, “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” In another part of school, Emma is drawing a heart around his face in a yearbook (awww or ewww?) and she overhears gossip that he’s having a baby.Puck is harassing Finn about Glee Club, when Finn says he quit. Puck rejoices, “As a welcome back to the world of the normal, I got you a present.” It’s Artie (in the wheelchair) locked in a port-a-potty. The jocks plan to flip it and offer Finn “the first roll.” Instead, he lets out the “loser,” and Finn delivers the only over-the-top Very Special Moment: “Don’t you get it man? We’re all losers. Everyone in this school. No, everyone in this town…I’m not afraid of being called a loser because that’s what I am. But I am afraid of turning my back on something that made me happy for the first time in my sorry life.” He says he’ll stick with football and Glee Club because neither can win without him. Finn goes to the club to apologize: “This is what I want to be doing, with you guys.” He rallies the gang to get musicians (Artie and the jazz band) and costumes (Mercedes’ forte) and choreography (Rachel) together.Emma shows Will a video from the 1993 Glee team at nationals. We only hear the tape, of the club singing “That’s the way (uh huh uh huh) I like it.” Will says it was the greatest moment of his life because he loved what he was doing. But he insists that he needs to provide for his family. Emma convinces him that the “only life worth living is one you’re really passionate about.”Will enters the auditorium, and there are his kids, the Glee Club, singing “Don’t Stop Believin’” (another Journey song, Finn’s choice). Will’s gonna hold on to that feeling and stay with Glee Club. “It would kill me to see you win nationals without me.” Will we be going to nationals by season’s end? Regardless, it should be a fun journey!

WHEN IS IT ON?
Wednesday nights @ 8 (central)
on FOX

The one-hour series follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the school's Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of them all: Nationals.
McKinley High School's Glee Club used to be at the top of the show choir world, but years later, a series of scandals have turned it into a haven for misfits and social outcasts. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) has offered to take on the huge task of restoring the Glee Club to its former glory.
Even with the help of fellow teacher Emma Pillsburry (Jayma Mays), it won't be easy since the "brightest stars" of the pitch-imperfect club include Kurt (Chris Colfer), a nerdy soprano with a flair for the dramatic; Mercedes (Amber Riley), a dynamic diva-in-training who refuses to sing back up; Arty (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist who attracts more bullies than girls; and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), an awkward girl who needs to suppress her stutter before her center stage solo.
Will's only hope lies with two true talents: Rachel (Lea Michele), a perfectionist firecracker who is convinced show choir is her ticket to stardom; and Finn (Cory Monteith), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks and a Motown voice who must protect his cool reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend, Quinn (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant teammate, Puck (Mark Salling).
Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make Glee great again, even though everyone around him thinks he's nuts. He's out to prove them all wrong-from his tough-as-nails wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) to McKinley's cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) to an ber-hip world that thinks jazz hands and sequined tuxedos litter the road to infamy rather than pave a street to Hollywood dreams.
