Glee’s Mike O’Malley on His Fictional Run for Office, Fixing Cars, and Political Mix Tapes
After spending Glee’s first two seasons melting the hearts of viewers who only knew him as a host of Nickelodeon’s Guts and star of Yes, Dear, it seemed like Mike O’Malley was destined to take a more backseat role this season — until last night’s episode, when he announced he’d be running as a write-in congressional candidate against Sue Sylvester. In real life, O’Malley prefers coaching his three kids’ sports teams (he was on the way home from son Seamus’s soccer game as we spoke) to political grandstanding, and fills in his time between Glee tapings as a consulting producer and writer for Shameless. He still gamely chatted with Vulture about Burt’s upcoming season, and even offered us a political mix tape.
Overthinking Glee, 2x03: No, God is not on any flatbread
Welcome, sacred tumblrs, to Overthinking Glee, where the only thing we worship is hot twentysomethings singing rock songs.
To say that this episode “Grilled Cheesus” pulls out all the dramatic stops would be putting it very lightly. On top of being one of the few episodes of Glee where a character is placed in actual life-threatening danger, it has the distinction of being The Religion Episode, with all the pratfalls and stigma that could come with that.
And I honestly think it’s one of the best episodes that Glee has ever put out. Hey, I don’t mind spiritual drama and prats and stigmatas or whatever. Bring ‘em all on. I eat that heady shit for breakfast. That being said? There are some heavy topics in this episode and by no means do I claim to be any sort of expert on religion or faith or spirituality; the only thing that I can do is offer my own opinions on religion and faith and spirituality to the best that I understand them.
In this entry: fair depictions of viewpoints, Kurt’s prejudices, invasive indoctrination, understanding friends, Finn’s questions, and my random ruminations about the meaning of life, free will, and good vs evil. Uh. Kind of.
MIKE O’MALLEY APPRECIATION LIFE.Ahhh, the question about Darren!

I didn’t see this on my dash today, but it was posted less than 9 hours ago on GleeonFox! :D
Glee Exclusive: Sue Sylvester Will Face Off Against [Spoiler] in Her Run for Congress
Looks like Sue Sylvester will be picking on someone her own size — or at least in her own age group — during Glee‘s third season. When I spoke to exec producer Ryan Murphy in June, he noted that he was working on “an amazing 20-episode arc for Jane Lynch” that would partly focus on her character’s campaign for Congress, and now, TVLine has discovered that her political rival will also have ties to [WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD!] William McKinley High School.
Yes, folks, according to buzz circulating in Glee circles on Emmy day, Our Lady of Track Suits will be facing off against none other than Kurt’s dad, Burt Hummel (Mike O’Malley), in her race for office. That’s good news for fans of the always terrific O’Malley, who won the 2010 Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series on the strength of his portrayal of a gruff, widower dad grappling to embrace and support his high-maintenance gay teenage son. Pairing up O’Malley with fellow Emmy winner Lynch opens up the possibility for some serious dramatic fireworks, while tethering Sue’s new story arc to the corridors of McKinley.
OH MY GOD BURT HUMMEL FOR FUCKING CONGRESS
THIS IS PERFECTION

Overthinking Glee, 1x20: “Faggy”
Welcome to Overthinking Glee, y’all. If you’ve managed to make it with me all the way up to this point…I salute and thank you.
Because there’s really only one single topic I want to talk about today for this episode, “Theatricality,” and it’s actually the topic that made me want to start writing these entries in the first place.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at one of the most controversial scenes of the season, and maybe even of the entire series.
Overthinking Glee, 1x18: “You just said, like, ten offensive things.”
Welcome, damp tumblrs, to Overthinking Glee, the only Glee reviews brave enough to not shy away from Brittany’s armpit fetish.
Okay, no, that’s a lie, because I am hella not touching that one.
This episode, “Laryngitis,” was pretty fuckin’ stellar and I think you all know why, but another thing that I liked about it was the fantastic fitting choice of musical numbers all across the board here. I mean, Glee has great music in general, but every season of this show seems to have that one episode that just lives on my iTunes playlist because it totally tickles my personal musical Glee-spot in just that personal, perfect way.
…TMI? Eh. I think it was just about enough I.
In this entry, sorted from least emo to most emo for your convenience: Rachel’s Tinkerbell, Finn’s confidence is shot, Puck’s isn’t, Mercedes’ standards, Santana’s crey[zie]s…and of course, Kurt’s Turn.
