The 2009 Matties: Shout for "Glee"

If you’re not watching “Glee,” you’re missing out on some serious irreverent hilarity. Start making time, because I honestly don’t know anyone who wouldn’t like this show. My militant brother – Yes, the Yankee fan…No he’s not adopted – even chuckled when Sue Sylvester, the Patton-esque cheerleading coach turned to another high school teacher and said, “I’m not like the rest of you hippies caring about the kids' feelings as if they're real…"

Sure the kids break out into spontaneous songs – which, in the interest of full disclosure, are when my brother left the room to get refills of Scotch – but it all works and the music kinda rocks.

Therefore, the 2009 Matty for Awesome Television goes to “Glee.” It comes back in March, so check it out.

Until then, my viewing eyes belong to the final season of "Lost" beginning February 2nd. The word on the street is it's already a contender for the 2010 Matties.
