I know comedy on Fox is not exactly Noel Coward, but I just wish Murphy and his writers had made some attempt to add a stroke or two of nuance to one or two of the characters.
Thankfully, there is a little more going on with Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), the young teacher, who against the advice of everyone, including his wife, decides to take over glee club. Schuester believes his best days were when he was onstage as a high school performer. In trying to get back in touch with his own passion, he inspires some in the crew of seemingly kids looking to him for guidance.
The final staging of "Don't Stop Believin'" is inspired - as only the sight and sound of ugly ducklings made beautiful by music can inspire (think Susan Boyle in a high school musical). Those viewers who hang around until the end of the pilot to see and hear the production will be blown away.
