^ This! I got into a whole thing about that on IMDB with some twits to the point where I actually pulled up MTI's Don't-Change-Sh*t-Clause. Ha!

Well it wasn't like they got to perform the Sue Sylvester book of Rocky Horror. Though the idea of watching a Sue Sylvester re-hashing of the show makes me giggle.

Last season, Glee was fun and goofy with a story arc. This season the show limps along from show to show with no arc. It seems the musical numbers are picked first with the story second. The Rocky show made no sense with no logic. The writer(s) had no clue about the reality of doing a high school musical. Characters did things that made no sense for the characters. The producers and writers let success go to their heads. Glee has lost its way. If things don't improve, Glee won't last for long.

Glee has lost its way. If things don't improve, Glee won't last for long.
Except the ratings are consistently better than the first half of season 1, which is when the episodes considered "better" were being aired. As long as the ratings and the iTunes sales remain solid they'll be fine. I hardly think a willful misunderstanding of MTI's guidelines, utilized for narrative reasons and unknown to the bulk of the viewing public, is going to contribute to The Death of Glee.
The show is ridiculous, but as far as I'm concerned it's always been ridiculous. It's surely been amped up, but not in a way inconsistent with Glee's tone. Mostly because Glee doesn't have an established tone. The only thing more inconsistent than its quality is its tone. Show can't decide if it's earnest or ironic, Very Special Episode or Every Character is Despicable (and The Audience is In On It).
I was actually pleasantly surprised with the show tonight and how it made the ridiculous edits a part of the narrative instead of something unspoken.

I hated last night's episode, and will almost certainly never watch it again, unless the ads make it clear that Matthew Morrison's bare chest will play a prominent role.
I laughed once, when the blonde cheerleader says that she's dressing up as a peanut allergy for Halloween. I don't know who that actress is, but she's a genius. On the few times I've been able to bring myself to sit through this dreadful show, hoping against hope that I'll finally get it, she has always been the bright spot. The utter seriousness with which she delivered a line about her concern that her cat was reading her diary was far more delightful than Jane Lynch's increasingly by the numbers performance.
As for the show itself, well, it was hard for me to give a damn about the show's alleged plotline. It made no sense whatever. When Sue Sylvester's plot to expose the evils of the high school production of Rocky Horror became clear, all Mr. Shu had to do was point out to her that she herself had adapted it for the high school stage, and based on what we were shown had managed to sanitize it pretty completely, and was in fact an active participant in the entire rehearsal process, and was even in the goddamn show to boot, and her little local Emmy would go pretty well up in smoke.
But no. They had to give Sue Sylvester a little speech, and Mr. Shu had to admit that she was right, and all the money they spent on that rather expensive looking set, complete with functioning elevator, was wasted when it could have probably been spent on tickets to New York that the show was supposed to be raising money for.
Screw GLEE.

"Glee has lost its way. If things don't improve, Glee won't last for long." Sorry but I've got to disagree, although last night's wasn't Glees best it was still a fun episode. The series so far has been great with great episodes, like 'Duets' which had great numbers and music and 'Grilled Cheesus' which tackled a serious topic. Even last nights themed episode managed to tackle body image issues

Defy, I believe I'm free to post on any thread on this message board, am I not? And I'm far from the only person expressing critical opinions about the show. Do you ask all who complain about the show why they post on the GLEE LOVE thread?
You may have a point. Time spent on GLEE is time wasted. I'm off to go watch paint dry, a far more constructive activity than anything related to GLEE.

Wait, were they doing the show or just doing the songs? Shouldn't they have been reported to Samuel French and had their rights revoked as well as been made an example of on message boards for changing the script and lyrics?

My thoughts exactly.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Even the skeptics have to admit it was fun to see Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf.

It'd have been more fun to hear Meatloaf sing "Sweet Patootie" than poor old John Stamos.

The songs weren't that bad, but how they thought they could get away with mercededes as frankfurters a joke. But it was ok. I'm not a huge rhps fan though, if mercedes played Angel it would be a different story :/

It had an edge through "Touch-a Touch-a Me" then seemed to lose the edge. It lost its conflict when RH was no longer going to be performed for the public.

Me too...definitely the best of the three theme episodes, but since the other two were terrible, it could be faint praise.

It is? When I checked my DVR last night, it was saying it was a repeat. I figured because they thought the series would still be on or since it's election night.
This makes me happy now!

I am assuming the WS ending caused an earlier broadcast.
