'The Glee Project'

The second season of this "Glee" spinoff/competition-series hybrid took off last week with 14 new contestants (including Tacoma resident Nellie Veitenheimer) and all of the usual ingredients: Perky contestants! Celebrity guests! Last-minute reprieves! Your enjoyment of the series might hinge on how you feel about the whole "Glee" phenomenon, but there is something reassuring about this show's message of self-acceptance and contestants' support of one another. Don't stop believin'! 10 p.m. Tuesday on Oxygen (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
