Gleeked out Intro

According to dictionary.com glee is a noun which can be defined as:
  1. open delight or pleasure; exultant joy; exultation
  2. an unaccompanied part song for three or more voices, popular especially in the 18th century.
More relevant in this case, would be urbandictonary.com's version of the word. The first definition states: “An intelligent musical comedy. It breaks down the established stereotypes of high school cliques in a feel good comedy drama, interspersed with catchy song covers and dances” (smalltownboy). So am I here to talk about exultant joy? Maybe. Singing? Most definitely. The television show Glee in its most current season? Yes indeed I am.

I have a theory about Glee that actually works along the same lines of urbandictionary's definition.Glee's plots do what they do to comment on things happening in the media (much like the onion.com) and to promote social change for the better (think what Will and Grace did for gay men; Glee is doing for lesbians). Keep in mind spoilers are a given with this blog.
