Well, to be honest, the Britney Spears episode wasn't very much like any of the rest of the episodes, so using that to judge the whole show isn't really fair.
GLEE isn't that bad.. Some eps shouldn't have been made or should've been made differently.
I don't think it's fair ither to judge the entire show based on two eps.. should watch entire first season before judging it to badly in it's second season..
as for the entry.. GLEE makes me cry too.. like when Kurts dad was in the hospital that made me cry or the last eps were kurt keeps getting picked on by a closet jock..
It's relate-able in some way cause most of us who were in high school that HAD problems.. can relate to this show.. and i love the singing
i was pretty adamant i'd never watch glee. then i decided to give it a chance. it's not the best thing on tv, but i enjoy music and singing along, so this has now turned into a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. i wouldn't defend it to people, as i also love the shit out of jackass and that's not for everyone either. i fucking hate lost and people for reasons i cannot comprehend, love that show. to each their own.
