The Fox Channel and "Glee" do it again

I'd written earlier on The cash cow that is "Glee" and it seems they've just added yet more to this recently with a new "The Glee Project":

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - You may have noticed that those lovable "Glee" kids are getting a little old. With senior year at McKinley right around the corner, the show's producers faced an unenviable decision: cast a new crop of song birds to replace Rachel and company, or figure out a plot line that flunks the current cast so as to make them repeat the 12th grade.

Picking the former option, the show's creator, Ryan Murphy -- along with fellow executive producers Dante Di Lorento, Michael Davies (

'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'

) and Shauna Minoprio (Top Chef) -- killed two birds with one stone, fashioning a reality show about the hunt for new talent.
Just one more way this hugely successful franchise is going to rake in yet more millions of dollars.
