Shouted Out With "Glee!"

I'm not sure what to make of this, but here's the latest word on the new season.

Fox's Glee clobbered the competition. According to Fox, the one-two punch of So You Think You Can Dance and Glee won the night with teens, and younger adults - the audience more likely to go out and buy things.

The competition? President Obama speaking to congress about health care reform on the Big 3 and the cable news outlets. Make of that what you will.

The big premier for Glee is great news not only for Fox, but for Lima, Ohio where the show supposedly takes place. Only scant evidence has turned up on the air to confirm the Lima link, like a porta potty sign in the pilot episode listing Bluffton (spelled wrong) Ada, and Uniopolis. Trust me on this; the only way Uniopolis gets mentioned on network TV is if one of the writers grew up there. We're wondering if Lima will get more of a starring role as the show progresses. Keep watching.
