Hi, everyone! I'm driving the van for up-and-coming fandom Glee this month, and I thought I'd kick us into gear with a little overview of the fandom. I'm sorry this is late, it's just that this is one fandom that has a lot to cover (Phew...). Now let's get started!
Basically,
Glee is
amazing. It has me laughing and tearing up every single episode and the musical numbers are catchy as hell. I dare you not to find at least one character you'll fall completely in love with or see yourself in - I love them all. The show is so real, it deals with a lot of the problems we're all faced with and it does so with humor and grace.
Glee first aired its pilot episode in May 2009 and then returned in September the same year with weekly episodes. It’s created by Ryan Murphy (the man behind the hit series
Nip/Tuck), Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan as an edgier show about high school – riding on the wave of such phenomenons as
High School Musical and
American Idol, it's been described by Murphy as a "post-modern musical".
Glee gained immediate popularity among its viewers. It was nominated for three 2009 Teen Choice awards and received the Diversity Award November 2009.
