"Oh, pish, Tag. I just expect a reality created on a tv show to work within its own and not seem to adjust it as it needs. I always thought Pushing Daisies did the whole "this is kinda of the real world, but it's a little off."

I take it you haven't watched Ryan Murphy's past shows Popular or, particularly Nip/Tuck

I'll grant you Popular (wasn't Murphy only CO creator there?maybe that played a part) but I gave upon Nip Tuck not cuz of how outrageous it was for outrageousness sake, but because it was filled with characters whowould suddenly behave outof character to serve a wacky plot twist, dropped stories everywhere, etc--basically everything I'm finding with Glee

"I still don't understand why - and I mean this beyond BWW - I was the only one who thought it was so rude and patronizing for them to totally bust up on that deaf people number last week?"

I thought exactly the same thing when I watched it. If my deaf Glee Club worked to perform "Imagine" and some sassy fat black chick started singing the song over them, I'd be pretty pissed. It's like, we just sat through your lousy "Hair" mash-up, the least you can do is keep quiet during our song.

Because they all got up and stood with them!

Yeah, I was close to bailing on my Glee watch, but I've decided I'll watch through next week and then probably not resume watching it when it comes back.

Phyllis, I probably keep watching too. (sort of like watching a car wreck) The Kurt storyline is usually fun and well written,(it almost seems like it's from another, better show). And I do want to see Groff when he's on.

But the "fall finale" better have the most incredible sectionals sequence in the history of TV, after the way they have harped about it all this time. If I hear one more character refer to the fact that "sectionals are coming up", my lunch is going to come up.

They mentioned either regional or nationals last night. I forget.

Do any schools actually call it Glee Club anymore? We had chorus and show choir.

Remember two weeks ago when Puck and Quinn charmed those children with a "real live music video"? WTF?

My thoughts on the show (because I'm sure you all care) and why I watch and probably will continue to do so:
Is it stupid? Absolutely.
Does it offend me at times? Yes.
Is the writing absurd and completely camp? Of course.

However, I really don't think this show takes itself too seriously. At least thats not the impression I get. Its fun to watch something and be completely in a world that makes no sense whatsoever. I'm so sick of these TV shows that are heavy and depressing. I'm stressed out all day at work, I don't want to be stressed when I get home. I want to see people break into song and dance and I want to watch something that doesn't involve thinking. I want to have fun. I enjoy myself watching Glee. Its fun. I don't take the story lines seriously, I'd rather see them sing and dance all episode.

I love making fun of it.

Wait, speaking of offensive...

Has anyone watched the sneak peak of this coming episode on BWW? Thy COMPLETELY steal the "walking down the hall talking to someone next to her on her cell phone" joke from Clueless. GET YOUR OWN JOKES GLEE!!!! Stop stealing other people's.

Also, since when can you do party lines on cell phones?

I think I have a problem. I more or less hate this show and find it completely ridiculous and usually offensive, yet I watch it religiously every week. What is this madness? I think it's mainly because I like Emma (though her incessant fawning over Will has gotten to be too much) and Sue (sometimes). I really have no investment in or affection for any other character.
