Are we about to witness the poisonous side-effects of the success of Glee?
Glee is a hit in the ratings, which is a lovely success story. But they are also an amazing music sales story. They now have more Billboard Hot 100 Chart Hits than the freakin' Beatles!
When CSI became a hit, what did we get? CSI Miami. CSI New York. Criminal Minds. NCIS. And other attempts to cash in on the crime procedurals.
When Lost became a hit, what did we get? Fringe. Jericho. The Event. Surface. Invasion. And other attempts to cash in on the mythology-rich psuedo-supernatural series.
So now that Glee has hit, expect plenty of knock-offs. And soundtracks. Even from unlikely places.
30 Rock?
Definitely one of my favorite shows, but not one that I'd think was ripe for its own CD. Let alone a double-CD.
And yet, here we are.
Full versions of songs shared in snippet form on the show, like "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah," "Muffin Top" and the fictional-when-mentioned-on-the-show-but-now-real "All My Nights I've Been Waiting." (Right click on the last one, for a free download)
Okay, so this might be fun.
But I DON'T want to hear the CSI double-disc.
Buy the 30 Rock Soundtrack here.
And somehow, THIS song IS NOT on the CD!?!?
