E! gossip gay Marc Malkin says Fox’s new show Glee, premiering May 19, “could be the next gayest show on television.” Could he be right? Premise: A Spanish teacher heads up a high school glee club, which attracts even the hottie high school quarterback. Created by: Nip/Tuck‘s Ryan Murphy. Starring: Jane Lynch and Cory Monteith (from Kyle XY). Stereotypes: Pretty damsel, hot jock, diva black girl, nerdy disabled kid. Even without Zac Efron, this is definitely the next gayest show on television. Next page: Behind the scenes look at the show.

Fox will probably kill it.
Ceci
Uhm. I’m excited for this 🙂
Hope my roommates don’t mind 😀

Om.Em.Gee.
Fox may *try* to kill this, but fail horribly. Or at least I hope so.

Can’t wait! I was a huge fan of Murphy’s Popular.

I saw the trailer for this a couple weeks back and I am VERY excited for it, and so are a lot of people that I know. It could be big, I also hope that Fox doesn’t find a way to kill it.

I did not work on this show in any capacity, so I say the following without any bias: I have seen the pilot (four times), it is brilliant, and it probably have you in tears by the end. The series can’t come soon enough!

This show looks adorable. I can’t wait to watch it. I’m kind of surprised it’s on Fox. It seems more in line with ABC.
I don’t see this living beyond a season though.

to me, it’s not the next gayest show, unless there is actually someone who is GAY in it. No ‘mos, not gay. And in the extended trailer, I didn’t see a MO. Maybe the Asian chick but not really.
Besides that little fact, it looks really good. Except, the jock dude, he doesn’t have a super voice unlike the black chick and the white chick.

I know this is a formula that has been done before — i mean, it was the whole premise of high school musical. but i think thats just why it might work.
i for one, cannot wait for it.

This just seems more like a movie than a television show.

OMG that is my last day of finals! I can’t wait!!!
@Ryan: it seems to highschool musical but funny and made for adults.
@scott ny’er: one of those kids is a drama ‘mo, you know the one who ask “is she gonna diva out at every rehearsal?”

The Poor man’s FAME.

@Tony: Oh Please… from that extended trailer, there is nothing “Poor man” about this. Spring Awakening’s Leah Michele, JANE LYNCH, a kid in a wheel chair, campy musical numbers! CANT WAIT!
Jon B
Ummm… plus apparently recurring guest stars will include Cheyenne Jackson, Victor Garber, and Kristin Chenoweth!
