'Glee' May Get Early Season 2 Greenlight! - Featured

nice! more Glee time for Gleeks like myself! :)

masterpiece? that made me chuckle. don't get me wrong, i actually enjoy glee and find it to be quite an entertaining show. the actors are all without a doubt fantastic singers, even though most of the numbers are the result of autotuned hyper-production (in spite of which i STILL enjoy the show). bottom line, i'm the only straight male i know who openly admits to watching glee, let alone liking it. but to call this show a "masterpiece" is pretty much an insult to television. glee, while admittedly quite amusing, is a far cry from the great shows of present or past in terms of writing, character development, plot development, originality, etc. nothing that comes out of the characters mouths sounds organic, and every decision they make is absolutely nonsensical and serves only as a transparent vehicle for the plot line. all the characters are extremely one-note and each have one defining personality trait/social flaw (though of course, deep down, theyre all good people). and while i understand the argument that all the campy dialogue and general corniness is ostensibly purposeful and self-aware, that doesn't make it good writing. i know this show comes in the wake of turbo-popular "high school musical", but would it be impossible to write a teen musical program that doesn't treat its audience like idiots? good music AND good writing, is that too much to ask for? look, i like the show too, but give appropriate credit where its due and don't praise it as some sort of gift from the television deities. and please forgive me if this post comes off as overly antagonistic; that is not my intent.

i am 150% a Gleek :)
