Glee! ?

I am less than Gleefull after checking out Glee! The ladies at my local Family Video told me it was not to be missed. It was so funny they cried. So I gave it a shot. I should have known better. They also told me Ugly Betty was THE BEST show on TV.

It took me about 2 episodes to figure it out. They found a way to make High School Musical into a series. And I can't quite convince myself that is a good thing. The autotune is scary. The songs are inapropriate for high schoolers at the least and are absolutely terrifying at the most (If you saw the Glee club teacher singing Kanye's Golddigger you understand what I am talking about). I love Jane Lynch and she is delightful as the cheerleading coach but I'm sorry babe. You just aren't enough to save that show. I'm sure the HSM crowd love it. I would rather eat my own eyes.

Oh, one footnote. I LOVE Kristen Chenoweth. Her episode was almost funny. If you fast forward through all the singing but her.

THANK YOU!!!! I was starting to think I'm the only person who hated this show on sight. I saw the pilot episode and seriously forced myself to watch the whole thing, hoping (in vain!) that it would get better by the end. Nope. It sucked ass.

So, when I see friends gushing about it on Facebook, I think to myself (often out loud) "Glee.. more like Gag!"

No I am firmly in the HELL NO category. I powered through a whole disk and think I deserve a gd medal. I bet your friends LOVED High School Musical. That Zak Effron is soooooo talented...gag.

I am so frackin glad you said that. I almost lost my "gay card" last year for denouncing GLEE. In my opinion, it's just genious marketing: Fox aired the pilot after last year's Smerican Idol finale and didn't run the second episode until September - 5 months later! Inbetween, they ran ads telling everyone how great and revolutionary the show was going to be...and everyone bought it. Uggh!! (and I mean that in auto-tuned exasperation)

You are friggin kidding me! It's things like that that make me glad I don't have television.

It is genius marketing. Evil genius. I bet it was thought up in the mountain top hideout of the republican party (ala Simpsons).
