Glee recap (1.04): "Preggers"

I guess I wasn't so rusty after all, because I'm back with another recap — this time for my favorite new show this fall: Glee. The fourth episode starts off with Kurt, Brittany, and Tina reenacting Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video. I hope you're not as sick of this song as I am because we're going to be hearing it a lot throughout this episode.

Still, I have to admit that Chris Colfer sounds so amazing on this song I thought it was actually B singing at first.

Halfway through the number, Kanye West interrupts to say that his version was good but Beyonce's was the best version ever. Not really. It's actually Kurt's dad, played by Mike O'Malley of Yes Dear fame. Some of the best lines in this show are the more subtle ones. Like when Kurt exclaims that his dad is home early, and dad replies, "Deadliest Catch is on."

Dad is understandably thrown by finding his son singing Beyonce and dancing in a unitard, but the girls lie and say all the football players are wearing them. Then Brittany takes it a little too far and says that Kurt is the team's kicker.

Meanwhile, Terri admits to her evil sister Kendra that she's really not pregnant. She wants to tell Will the truth, but Kendra insists, "Dishonesty is food to a marriage. It'll die without it." Then adds that they just need to find her a baby. Where the hell do they expect to find one of those? They don't actually sell babies at Babies R Us, ladies.
