Glee

The first 10, 12 episodes is realistic enough and actually makes everyone give a crap about their lives. But as time goes on it turns from a realistic, good musical show into an annoying soap opera which everyone runs out of craps to give. *facepalm*

Since the show is set in a high school many of the themes and plot points are very obvious, but the song selection is generally magnificent. The songs always highlight the characters struggles and many lessons can be learned from the show. The dialog is witty even though the show is often very sappy in order to appeal to a larger audience. All in all a great show for anyone who enjoys musicals and doesn't mind a little cheesiness.

Oh glee. Oh glee. I used to like you, I really did. You displayed High school in a more realistic light than I had ever seen, but now all I can see is an over dramatized portrayal of people who seem to have lives far removed from reality. Glee is more like an annoying soap opera now, but I would reccomend the first season highly.

I adored Season 1 - it was exciting, funny and even realistic on how these high school students dealt with their individual problems while simultaneously attempt to pursue their dreams. I was definitely pumped up for future seasons. However I was confronted with disappointment throughout the the second season. It started to be overdramatic with exaggerated events. I felt like instead of singing meaningful songs like they did in the first season, they chose to sing today's top hits in order to generate more money when it came to their merchandise - this was definitely heightened in the third season. I got through a couple episodes of the third season before I called it quits. Season 1 had so much potential and I'm utterly disappointed that Mr. Ryan Murphy couldn't keep season 1's true Glee spirit throughout the entire series.

Terrible. Garbage. Shitty. Crap. Just a few of the words i think of putting after the word "simply" when describing glee. Perfect is definately not one of those words. I understand Fox wants to deal with todays "teen issues" but they could have saved way more money by just making a musical commercial. This show is soooo bad. I know it was on a different channel, but are you trying to tell me that "Las Vegas" couldnt make it, and glee can. All the kids look like theyre in their sophomore year in college. WHAT THE FUCK. How is it that the only black person on the whole show is a girl named "Mercedes"? Really, so i guess all black females have stripper names then. WTF. They might as well named her champagne or chocolate. This show is single handedly ruining television

They butcher music and the characters are annoying; not one of them do I find to be remotely charming, intriguing, or entertaining. I chuck my shoe at my roommate every time I hear her watching this nonsense.

I stopped watching after season one, but season one was really good.

The first season of Glee was simply amazing. It was a funny comedy with incredible dramatic moments that could really make you think, as well as presenting fun musical numbers. It told an awesome story about Spanish teacher Will Schuester who took over a high school glee club and, in a matter of one year, transformed it from a group of five outcasts to a shining example of great musical talent from such a young group of kids. The kids would constantly get bullied by football players as well as the evil and scheming (but funny) cheer leading coach Sue Sylvester, as well as face other issues regarding relationships and social issues, but their optimism always beat out the issues they were having. The story lines were all enticing in their own ways and represented what goes on at a modern high school very well. I loved how the first season progressed from starting out to winning sectionals, and despite them losing at regionals at the end, they still prevailed. The end of the season 1 finale ended with a scene that never fails to make me tear up, with Mr. Schuester singing Over the Rainbow with the club realizing that although they lost regionals, they still have the glee club next year and they all have each other. I remember watching that scene the night of airing and remembering what a wonderful start the first season was to the series and I was excited to see more in the fall. When the fall came, however, I started to notice some changes I did not like. The show started to feel incredibly lifeless at the start of the second season. The show started to become less about the struggles of a group of singing social outcasts and more about certain individuals going through identity crisises. While the first season touched on this, too, it didn't do it in a way where the viewer became bored of how whiny the characters were acting. Season 3 only plumbed the depths even further. The story lines now are extremely unbelievable and seem gimmicky. The musical numbers lost of lot of their entertainment value - the musical numbers of the first season did a great job of capturing the simplicity of a high school stage, while also adding in some Hollywood glitz and glamour. Now they look extremely tacky and overproduced, especially for a high school with budget problem. The worst part is the characters, though. Many old characters have been phased out and most of them became extremely annoying and exaggerated versions of themselves. For example, Kurt used to be a male diva who wore high fashion and took care of himself extremely well, but he was always around to help and support his teammates. Now Kurt is even more of a diva who constantly puts down people and seems to be arrogant. Also, Brittany used to be a a funny, ditsy cheerleader who would say and do weird things that would make anybody laugh. Now she's become borderline mentally challenged and way TOO weird. Also, new characters introduced such as Blaine or Sam are extremely useless Mary-Sues who only seem to serve purpose to plumb the depths of the show even further. As I mentioned before, the first season was a great setup to introduce the characters, but unfortunately, the setup is where the show reached its creative peak. After re-watching it, something tells me that this show would probably have worked better as a mini-series. The final Over the Rainbow scene tied things up together nicely and it would have been nicer to leave the fates of the kids left to the viewers imagination, rather than narrated in an unbelievable manner in the following seasons. The first season was amazing and will always be one of my favorite TV seasons. The rest... ehh.

Glee season 3 has ended up with awesome episode Big brother in which Quinn shares her thoughts about her car crash. Actually Glee ends up every season with few very good lessons for show's hug fans such don't talk or text on phone while driving.

A Great Experience!!!
Great Songs Selection!!!
Funny,Adorable,Loving & Beautiful Characters!!!
With all the other crap on television nowdays, I find Glee Totally Inspirational as well as Entertaining!!!

I absolutely this show. It is funny, uplifting and mostly there is a lesson in it for all of us about loving ourse;ves. With all the other evil crap on television nowdays, I find Glee totally inspirational as well as entertaining. The song choices are so great and last week's tribute to Whitney Houston had me in tears.

I don't know how Glee manages it but after watching all 3 seasons, they have managed to sing/play all my favourite songs:) I really hope this show doesnt get cancelled as all my favourites really do. I think we need more shows like Glee!

This show is getting silly. Characters just disappear, like Rory and Sugar. No explanation, just gone. Where?

Glee was the show that made me care about tv again after a long time but it's definitely losing my interest lately. It's becoming a tweenie-pop show with cheesy storylines, terrible writing, and poor song selection in the 3rd season. I liked how it used to be very smart, political, and although it was about high schoolers, there was plenty of adult aged humor and material. The music was better, lots of broadway and classic rockprofound timeless songs with meaning. I feel like its also lost it's underdog rising, inspirational attitude and become abit shallow and over-dramatic... I'm 27 and used to be a choir nerd in high school but if I wanted to watch a drama about high school, I would watch the countless other shows on tv. Glee used to be different. And what happened to all the adults in the show? they slip in to say something cheesy and irrelevant and then?? I would like to see the show feature it's other characters as much as its stars and let someone besides Rachel sing. There's so much talent and potential not being realized. I can't say that I'm sad that Sugar's been missing lately, I was always wondering why she was in the show the whole time. She was just annoying and not part of the 'family', she's a wannabe. A terrible, untalented character with really no place in the New Directions. Lack of talent is ok if you have a stellar personality, but she's shallow and opposite of all the show stands for. Stop paying her to sway in the back with a fake smile and give someone with talent an opportunity to develop a more interesting character. No I have No problem with gay/lesbians, but can we stop making every character gay? Santana and Brittany are 2 of my fave characters, but come on, they're 17. They have no idea what/who they are and neither of them are believable as lesbians. It's great to have it be part of the show, but it's becoming 'THE GAY' show and teens aren't so serious in their relationships...In this episode, I feel a little of the lost storyline was picked up and I felt the old feeling when I watched season 1 return alittle, but if it doesn't continue picking up again, I sadly will lose interest in one of my favorite shows. Come on Ryan, you can do WAY better!!! Don't forget adults love this show too and you will lose that audience the more you cater to tweens...

WTF!!! Pitchy, Pitchy, and Squeeky. Why are these people getting paid for singing like 90% of the rest of us, horribly. After listening to Finn, Saturday Night Fever episode, I would get him neutered. And yes...enough with with the Gay agenda. Boring.

hands down the greatest moment of this show was when Mercedes sang "I will always love you" just after Whitney Houston died. Sometimes this show has great moments, and this was the one and only of this season. Forget about the rest.

this is the best show in the world i <3 glee can't wait 4 it to go back on

i hate the fact that they pushed religions on that kind of shows !!

We watched the Pilot for Glee as a family and really enjoyed it; thought it was going to be good family entertainment we could make part of our regular viewing...



Then things deteriorated rapidly.



First episode of the first season was nothing more than a vehicle for the main female character to give a speech on the "virtues" of adolescent sexual activity and to bash the morals of those who believe abstinence is a better course for teens.



Second episode even worse as it could have been written by Harvey Milk himself and hits all the talking points of the homosexual agenda.



Usually the better, more popular shows wait until they start running out of fresh material before they start trying to proselytizing their audience in their deviant world view... just before they go off the air ... guess there just wasn't enough there to begin with.



Two episodes of thinly veiled leftist, Hollywood propaganda is enough for us, no more glee.

I agree with jweel28 comments. I was a great supporter of the superb use of music in the show and had viewed every episode. I overlooked other aspects that bothered me. The week for the valentines presentation was over the top. It was so aggressively and offensive to me that I could not watch. I am not gay but have been tolerant. You have pushed me over the edge in my tolerance. Additionally the BibIe bashing needs to stop. There are beliefs people have and it is not more right you pushing the gay lifestyle than stopping people from believing what is their right. You are the ones who have become intolerant. I and my family of 6 (that is 6 viewers) will not watch Glee again. Good luck as it slides into a oblivion forcefully pushing its own agenda not the entertainment it is based on.

People who have wives or girlfriends, please run away from this show! It's so bad!

I would like to see Davey Havok doing a presentation with them.

I used to enjoy some of Glee shows, but mainly I watched for the song performances. Not anymore. Last year and this year Glee has gone too far.
I am not going to even going to bother recording just to watch the song performances now. The Valentine's Day episode was the last straw for me.

Glee has become a show now where pushing the idea of how normal the gay lifestyle is and how that idea needs to be pushed on its viewers. This has been a underlying tone with the show from the beginning with Kurt's character and Rachel's two Dad's, and it didn't bother me because I do not dislike gay people. It's the weak story lines and the constant pushing of the gay lifestyle that has gotten out of hand and so not beleive able and in the last two seasons, it has become ridiculously obvious. I feel it was this last valentine show that pushed the envelope too far by featuring full lesbian kissing, a gay bashing male student now coming out that he is gay and likes Kurt. Then there was sexy lesbian cheerleader character Santana (who in past season's was the heterosexual slut of the school!) complaining to the principle: "All I want to be able to do is kiss my girlfriend, but I guess no one can see that, because there's such an insane double standard at this school." (Referring to her girlfriend Brittany who was clearly a heterosexual in past seasons, becoming the wheelchair bound Artie's 1st sexual experience). In a ironic way, she's right. There is an double standard here, with the writer's/producers of Glee in favor of the homosexual lifestyle. But it was with the outright mocking and misrepresenting of the Bible in this episode that "Glee" too far with pushing homosexual propaganda on its viewers. I am finished watching this show and will explain and encourage others to stop watching.

This eposide of Glee "Heart" produced agreat moment in time for me with the grace and seemingly flawless preformance by Amber Riley with a nod to Dolly Parton and a great farewell to a singer who is Heaven bound. With the song" I Will Always Love You" done so brilliantly by Amber this eposide is a keeper in any fans hearts. Hats off to everyone associated with Glee for keeping quite about this song, I was highly impressed. Amber, you did Whitney proud. Eric Stokholm

ok let me just say, i love Glee and this season is just amazing, but kurt really gets on my nerves with his ugly outfits. i know he is supposed to represent everything that is gay in the world, but please bring the gayness down a notch, his voice and his behavior strikes you as gay when you first watch the show, there really is no need to make his gayer and gayer as the show goes on.

I started watching this show when it 1st came out. I saw the 1st 4 episode and started to get sick of all the songs there were singing......but last summer i was on youtube and saw all the song there were singing so i gave it another shot.

I find that they have to use a lot of broadway show song, and I like the mash up but with all the mash up they doing it seem like there trying to hard to please everyone

The first season of Glee was stellar. Sue Sylvester was a hilarious sociopath with a penchant for clever word-play. The musical numbers were highly enjoyable, for the most part. The show was, in many ways, unrealistic, but I managed to suspend my disbelief and enjoy it. We were just getting to know the Glee cast of characters, and I was excited for Season 2.

Since then, I have been sorely disappointed by how terrible the writing is. There are still funny quips here and there--that's not what I'm talking about--but there is no consistency in characterization and no growth for the characters. The writers basically use and abuse characters for the purpose of driving the plot forward. The female characters are particularly one-dimensional and not true to life. Their motivations change from second to second in order to suit whatever plot the writers have contrived, making them all seem like they have personality disorders. It may seem like a character has learned something, but then the writers hit the reset button, and then Rachel or Quinn or whoever is back to the catty, self-centered behavior which you'd thought they'd outgrown. Rachel is sooooo unlikable and unreal. Any progress her character seems to make in terms of maturing or learning is never ever lasting. She always goes back to being the same old Rachel, which is not only unrealistic, I think, it's also painful to watch! There are obviously no female writers on this show, but I even wonder if the writers have spent much time with women. It's as if they are writing scripts based on other female characters they've seen in bad teen movies.

What the writers have done to poor Mr. Schue is also a huge disappointment. He's become so pathetic! Matthew Morrison deserves better writing.

Kurt is one of the few well-written characters, which is great, but I think it does show the writers' gay male bias. So though I've liked Kurt's story lines most of the time and the character himself, I just don't get why he can be a real person, while the rest of the cast are forced to be caricatures.

What was once a promising new show is now so infuriating to watch, I usually change the channel after a few minutes. After season 1, I gave this show a 10, and now, I think it barely deserves the 4 it is getting.

My review for this show was deleted. I guess you are not allowed to dislike a show and must gush about how great it is no matter how bad it actually is, otherwise they remove a review. I believe that is called censorship, but I don't think that TV.com cares. So don't be surprised if shows on this site have abnormally high-skewed ratings.

I don't care what the mods think and am posting my dislike for this show again. If they don't like it, they can delete the review and I will just post my dislike again. That's because this show is truly awful. The first few episodes were not too bad, but after the first season it became worse and worse to the point that each episode is completely formulaic, boring, repetitive, and frankly, quite stupid.

The worst episode of all has to the be the Rocky Horror Picture Show episode. That movie is rated R, so the high-school kids would not have been allowed to see it in the first place. Therefore, the very idea that they would even be able to perform it at school is absurd, regardless of how inappropriate the actual material is.

This show is quite dull and uninteresting now. It is no longer about some kids at school singing and dancing, instead each episode is just a preachy and pushy political-correctness piece of propaganda about tolerating and accepting everybody; gays, jews, mentally and physically handicapped, and so on and so on. If it had started that way, it would be one thing, but they started it as a real show and changed it later on. That's called "bait-and-switch".

Ryan & Falchuk's other show, American Horror Story is infinitely better (I feel dirty even comparing them).

The musical acts are awesome. Jane Lynch is awesome as Sue. Favourite must be Finn. The show changed drastically though. Viewership is getting lower.

I've just started a new TV blog and I'm pretty new at it so if anyone would like to read what I thought of the 'Michael' episode of Glee please have a look and leave a comment, good or bad! Much appreciated!

I used to watch the show back in Season 1, and even Season 2, although with less enthusiasm. Season 3, however, really made my decision to stop watching it easy. It used to be alright/quite good (around a 7.5 perhaps), but its lack of a consistent, comprehensive storyline and its many plot-holes just work against it. Overall, mediocre at best.
