You Should Watch Glory Daze!

Okay. So I don't think many people know about this really great brand new television show that is on TBS. That's right TBS. Yeah, that's probably why you've never heard of it. But come on, people, Conan is on TBS! And Glory Daze is on right before Conan on Tuesday nights. It's an hour long comedy featuring four kind of different, but all white college freshmen pledging the wildest fraternity on campus... in 1986. While the main student cast does not feature anyone uber-famous*, Tim Meadows does play the recently separated and bitter professor who lives in his own office. Brad Garrett also plays the main character's father, so he's in episodes here and there. He did a fantastic I'm-so-unknowingly-stoned-for-the-first-time scene. While Cheri Oteri plays his mother, she has only been in the pilot so far. Guest stars have included Michael McKean, John Michael Higgins, Andy Richter, and Kevin Nealon.

Okay, back to the point... and that is, uh, ummm... hmmm... oh yeah. The point is that Glory Daze is a really great show. It's funny, and even though it primarily features frat guys being all "fratty", it's actually rather smart. Interesting themed parties with sororities, fun pledge activities, and an awesome 30+ stoner who has lived in the house for over 10 years. He's wise and provides the drugs (and laughs, along with his midget sidekick). What more could you ask for from a TBS comedy? Seriously, though. It's a well acted and fun show.

*The main exception I must point out is James Earl. You're probably thinking, "who the fuck is that?" Well, he's the new token fat black guy, that's who. He's the fat black football player in Glee. He's the fat black football player in No Ordinary Family, though he's far nicer in this one. And... he's the fat black guy in Glory Daze. Don't get me wrong here, though, because he is good. Also, Eric Nenninger has a recurring role in the show.
