Preggers is another entertaining episode of "Glee"

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Well, this was another entertainingly hilarious and musically compelling episode of "Glee". And, finally, the Asian-American Jenna Ushkowitz as Tina Cohen-Chang finally got something to do when she did that "Tonight" number from "West Side Story"! Also, what a treat to see Mike O'Malley as the father of Kurt (Chirs Colfer) tell his son he knew he was gay since he was three and that he loves him no matter what (though he then asks him if he's sure which Kurt replies in the affirmative). And the way certain characters who otherwise wouldn't intersect do in this episode like in the whole Beyonce song being used before and during the football game. Now while I wasn't crazy about the way Terri kept her fake pregnancy from her husband, it's now a little intriguing to see what she's going to do with cheerleader Quinn expecting and Finn thinking he's the father especially since Puck now knows it's his. And Jane Lynch, the Cheerios coach, now has a commentary spot on the No. 1 news program where she comments on Littering and Caning (both Pro). And how about Stephen Tobolowsky getting an expanded role as the rehired arts department supervisor? "Glee" just keeps getting better and better!
