I dare you to watch the last four minutes of
the pilot of Glee and not feel better. Seriously, I dare you. I'm not sure how much impact it might lose if you skip the setup, and I have my issues with how very exaggerated everything about the show is (though admittedly I enjoyed it anyway -- but, you know, music and school stories, two of my favorite things!). But sometimes, passionate and cheesy and happy and hopeful really just works. That last song was exactly what I needed... Maybe it will be for you, too.
