Glee

By all accounts, I should love Glee. I love music, especially choir and show choir and acapella music, and I was actually in show choir in high school. I love musicals and get really excited when there's an episode of TV when the characters sing (i.e. Buffy and Grey's). But I don't like Glee. In fact, I kind of hate it. I was super excited when it first came out because I thought this would be the perfect show for me, and for the first maybe three or four episodes, it was. And I have probably watched most of the episodes - I think I missed at least half of a season because all of a sudden there were a ton of new characters like Marlee and Unique and I still don't really know where they came from. And yes, I cried like a baby when they did the Finn tribute last week, but if tomorrow the show was canceled, I wouldn't  care. Because it's not realistic. They are always dressed in rididculous costumes you would NEVER be able to get or wear in a normal high school, and they mostly sing stupid songs. They are supposed to be a show choir in a crappy Ohio school, and I was actually IN a show choir in a crappy Ohio school, and it's not like that. Also, I think they maybe deserved to win nationals the first time, but this past year? No way. Who does "I Love It" by Iconopop as one of the songs in a show choir? Oh that's right - nobody.

Also, if we're being specific, Rachel would not have gotten the part of Fannie Brice because maybe she has a good voice but she's WAY too young and doesn't have that "something special" they always talk about on the show. You know who does? Unique. She is amazing and they barely put her in the episodes. Instead they focus on Tina, who kind of has a meh voice and a stupid storyline, and the obnoxious new cheerleader girl whose face is hard to look at. And Kurt. Seriously. I have not found a TV character so annoying since Mariska Hargitay on SVU. He is supremely whiny and, to be honest, his voice isn't that great. He's one of those people who wants to be accepted by everyone but never does anything to make that happen and embraces his weirdness (which is code for gay because he's not actually weird) and then says no to Adam Lambert? Seriously? That whole story arc was insane. He would have jumped at the chance to have him in his stupid band. And if he didn't want him in the band, it wouldn't be because he had the "wrong look," it would have been because Adam Lambert is cute AND talented, and Kurt is neither.

I'm just saying, they could have made that show a lot better.
