The show premiered after the season finale of American Idol and what a perfect audience. And what a perfect idea. From the creator of NipTuck...I did not see that one coming.
I love that when I watch Glee while I am in other countries, the references to Kings Island and the Reds give me nostalgia. But, I can not watch an episode with out critiquing some aspect of their version of Ohio. Well, OK, not Ohio...Lima.
I am from a place not so far from Lima. My favorite bits of Lima were Broken Yoke, the only TCBY left in the country (I think) and the I-Hop. I also frequented the many haunter cornfields of Lima every halloween.
So, ya, not exactly known for it's cultural diversity, beautiful people or outstanding talent of young popstars. But, oh Glee, how diverse and culturally sensitive you have made Lima appear.
Let us look for a minute at the Lima Mall...
Enough said?
Alright. It's a show about show choirs, I didn't expect them to portray the real Lima. It's just that a sensation this big hasn't hit Lima since like....the invention of combines. I was hoping that a bit more Ohio would be in Glee. But, then again, if it was a bit more like Lima, chances are, I wouldn't be watching it.
