Let’s be honest: Glee is all about Sue Sylvester.  Really.  I mean, they could literally can all the other characters, turn it into a one-woman show, and I’d still watch.  Especially if she does her “That’s how Sue C’s It” bit three or four times in a half-hour.  See below:

Well, that’s not the ONLY thing I like about Glee.  I’m also kind of a musical theater geek.  And I like that between tightly harmonized show choir renditions of Lady Gaga songs about people taking their clothes off, Glee is indoctrinating the world with Stephen Sondheim songs.  And Stephen Schwarz songs.  And Stephen Flaherty songs.

Crap I never realized that every musical theater composer who ever lived is named Stephen.  Weird.

Anyway, I ALSO love that the dialogue swings wildly back and forth between incredibly inappropriate adult humor and “High School Musical” style cheeseball lines.

OK, I love everything about Glee.  But I love Sue Sylvester best.  And FINALLY Sue’s got a new foil.  Because who can be more dick than the cheerleading coach?  The football coach, it seems.  That’s right, McKinley High’s got a brand new football coach: Shannon Beiste.  And she’s played by a world-champion arm-wrestler.

What?

That’s right, I said a world-champion arm-wrestler.  Now that kicks ass.  Her name is Dot Jones and she’s that woman you know from everything else you’ve ever seen but can’t place because she’s never got that big part.  Well now she’s got that big part.  And FOX invited me and Lori to interview her on that other little media gig I’m involved in…

Glee premieres tonight on FOX.  8 PM.  But you should really be at Binghamton Restaurant Week.  So just TiVo the damn thing and go have a nightlife.
