Jazz hands!

Though they can't seem to hold it together as a network to produce a single episode of American Idol that runs on time, Fox is getting both myself and critics a little excited with Glee, a new show for summer/fall that will be premiering during May sweeps. Glee will be previewing on May 19th and tells the story of a young teacher who takes over as the director of a rag-tag, seemingly talentless high school glee club. And of course there will be major dramz and love stories wrapped in with riveting musical numbers featuring some of Broadway's biggest stars. The musical theatre dork in me is bursting at the seams and pirouetting around my television set. Glee is being created and produced by Ryan Murphy who previously worked his magic with Nip/Tuck, but don't expect the smut and general absurdity to carry over, this is kind of a family show.

However, myself and girls everywhere are probably going to be getting their panties in a bunch over Matthew Morrison who plays said teacher turned glee club aficionado. Matthew has done a ton of Broadway which would be a turn-off for most girls, but it makes me really horny seeing sexy men spontaneously burst into song. Upping the hotness factor even more, he was briefly in the boyband LMNT (formed from several O-Town rejects and friends, best known for the musical masterpiece "Juliet"), but he's smart so he quit that shiz before most people even knew it existed.

Hotties, jazz hands, and melodramatic high school plot lines? Yah, I'm on board.
