The first season was actually pretty good. I don't usually like teen dramas and musicals, but Glee worked, but only for one season. I think they are now more concerned about selling singles on itunes than making a good TV show. Also, the lesbian character coming out by singing "I Kissed a GIrl" by Katy Perry? Awful. And the girl who said "I'm self-diagnosed with Asperger's so I can say whatever I want." Terrible. It has become a show that champions some minorities and marginalizes and mocks others. Bleh.

I have read about this before and I must say that it is true... I feel it marginalizes a lot of minorities. One point that I could understand was that women are not exactly portrayed in a nice way in the show...

I especially hate this about Finn. Because Quinn manipulates him all the time, but he is so sweet, etc etc. I like Corey, but... I don't know...

And as much as I love Jane Lynch... and Sue Sylvester... it's quite true...

You know who's the only woman portrayed in a nice way?

Emma. Who's basically the little girl. You know, she's so nice... I love Jayma and the character she plays, but this sends out some strange messages. I don't know...

Ooh, big surprise, a hit TV show sucks!

I liked the first two seasons. But I love musicals, so, eh. Whatever.


I didn't think I would enjoy Modern Family considering all the popularity and fame it's getting but when you sit down and really watch, it's actually a really funny show with very endearing characters that earned those Emmys. But this is a VERY rare exception among the mainstream TV hits.

Glee on the other hand...I just needed to take note of all the stale and predictable clichés of the characters when I saw the early preview and I knew I wouldn't be a fan.

Just crap to appeal to females and gay men. Stereotypically, of course. people love cliques.

I think it's okay.
I like how it's sorta like a modern music video, but the music isn't my taste.

It's funny though because women are not portrayed in a nice way in the show. Yeah, I'm not a great fan of stereotypes either. Like a lot of romantic comedies... It actually physically hurts to watch them because they're just.... about stereotypes. It's sad, really. I'd love to see a politically correct romantic comedy.

Glee is overrated. That's why I don't watch it.

There is far worse stuff on TV than Glee. Not my kinda show but I can see why people like it.
