Sue Sylvester and Tweetie Birds
From Nancy Franklin’s New Yorker piece on “Glee”:
The success of “Glee” depends on the energy and the obvious talent of its young (but way beyond high-school age) performers, and on Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, the acid-tongued, sneaky, and completely loony cheerleading coach, whose every line of dialogue is quotable (and is duly quoted, minutes after being delivered, on Facebook pages and in Twitter feeds.
I wonder if any especially quotable TV show lines have been rewritten to be under 140 characters before hitting the air.
