Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States. It focuses on the high school glee club New Directions competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality and social issues.
The initial main cast encompassed club director and Spanish (later History) teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), Will's wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), and eight club members played by Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz. For the second season, formerly recurring cast members Mike O'Malley, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera were promoted to the main cast. In the third season the main cast remained at fifteen, with Harry Shum, Jr. and Darren Criss promoted to it, while Gilsig and O'Malley no longer received star billing. The fourth season began with fourteen in the main cast, with Chord Overstreet being promoted, and Mays and Agron were removed and demoted to recurring cast. The fifth season saw the biggest change, with Monteith's death, and Morris, Riley, Salling and Shum all being switched to recurring status. At the same time, Jacob Artist, Melissa Benoist, Blake Jenner, Alex Newell and Becca Tobin were promoted to the main cast and are credited as such for the season, though they appear only in the first thirteen of the twenty episodes, after which New Directions is disbanded and the series shifts to the glee club alumni in New York City for the remainder of the season. The sixth and final season's main cast was reduced to nine: Colfer, Criss, Lynch, McHale, Michele, Morrison and Overstreet continued from the previous season, Riley returned to the main cast, and Dot-Marie Jones as football coach Shannon Beiste was promoted to it.
Bone is an independently published comic book series, written and illustrated by Jeff Smith, originally serialized in 55 irregularly released issues from 1991 to 2004.
Smith's black-and-white drawings were inspired by animated cartoons and comic strips, a notable influence being Walt Kelly's Pogo: "I was ... a big fan of Carl Barks and Pogo, so it was just natural for me to want to draw that kind of mixture of Walt Kelly and Moebius." Accordingly, the story is singularly characterized by a combination of both light-hearted comedy and dark, epic fantasy: Time has called the series "as sweeping as the Lord of the Rings cycle, but much funnier." The series was published bimonthly with some delays from June 1991 to June 2004. The series was self-published by Smith's Cartoon Books for issues #1 through #19, by Image Comics from issues #20 to #28, and back to Cartoon Books for issues #29 through #55 (the final one).
Bone has received numerous awards, among them ten Eisner Awards and eleven Harvey Awards.

Genres: Comedy, Short,You're gorgeous, flawless, roll for me the hardest
Open up that box and try to show me where her heart is
Hurt is, couldn't store love like she's hardy
Maybe it was meant to be hurt you it takes like orbit
I started spacing off, and she got jaded
Her friends stop popping off, when they got faded like
Passion, passion, she was already lost in
Girl I ain't wanna leave me swear I laid it down proper
She was all in my bbm tryina watch it close like I'm dvr
Put it in the middle like a medium
And minding on the stars like I'm media
Damn, it's ugly, way you don't give a fuck b
I played a lot of games till she threw it back like rugby
And I caught it, caught it on a second then I bought it
Spent some days thinking about it, any maze girl I slept on you
Like what's waking up if you're shaking up the whole world that I once known
If glitter falls, you loose it all, ain't no appearance, no glow
[Chorus]
So if I give you my thing, promise not to break it
I'll take your love and, I'll never forsake it, no
Let this be a love trade
Like wizzy and georgey, you know I was made for you
So baby gonna get it right
Yeah we may fuss and we may fight
But we can make it up all night long
And if I give you my all, would it mean anything
And if I go husting for you hard
Would it be my any means, that I guarded
Just tryina be honest, I won't admit for no promise
When we started, we departed,
Told me the new times due to my cautious
I know I paused it, I played you round
Stopped our flow and fade it out
You stayed calm and waited out
Like when them grey jays came out
Nasty shit that I've been meaning
Understand it without reason
Bonnie and clyde flow
We the type of team that get a ring
And come back season's round the corner
My payer call my folder
These hoes get no love, girl you don't want this cold shoulder
You're ocean to my peer, we can see the sunshine from here
Know you tired of all these waters for real
But I got something new I wanna show you
I guess we're grown up
When love bubbles like a soda
I guess this is a jones, huh
Say baby can I be your slave
Give me your flower, you can dig my grave
Death to my old ways, ...ears
[Chorus]
So if I give you my thing, promise not to break it
I'll take your love and, I'll never forsake it, no
Let this be a love trade
Like wizzy and georgey, you know I was made for you
So baby gonna get it right
Yeah we may fuss and we may fight
