    I've seen three episodes. I agree that it's not in the same league as The Beatles and Elvis, and no, none of the songs are original. I've never been a fan of schmaltzed up cover versions of rock/pop tunes. Some of the story lines are good though, and I don't agree that there's NO talent. Some of the singers are very talented, whether you like that type of music they're singing or not. And the Rocky Horror Picture show episode rocked! It was like watching a good Broadway revival of the show.

    I DO like the effect it's had on school music programs, as I've witnessed firsthand working at a K-8 school. All of a sudden it's now COOL to be in chorus and everyone wants to be in the spring musical. I hear 7th and 8th grade students singing songs by artists like Journey, Queen, Billy Joel, and songs from Wicked and Les Mis which is a good thing, IMO when you consider the dreck they are inundated with on the radio.

    I'd probably watch another episode if I'm ever channel surfing while on the treadmill and there's nothing else better on, but I'll never be a fan. I wouldn't judge the whole series by one episode. From what I've seen and heard from others, some episodes are good, some suck, and everything in between.

    I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than sit through an episode of Glee.

    The way it was advertised in the UK made it seem like it was a pisstake of all the musical garbage out there, and I was quite looking forward to watching it. Watched 10 mins of one episode and realised that no, it actually is JUST musical garbage.

    I watched one episode on the net. I am heavily involved in local theatre, so I watched it the one time. To be truthful, I didn't expect much because I was so disappointed when High School Musical came out. I admit I liked Glee better than "High School Musical", but I didn't like it enough to ever watch it again.

    I don't necessarily think the music is "bad". There's much worse out there. My daughter is a vocal performance major and is into opera, and she thinks the kids have good voices, but she doesn't like the show.

    I just think the show is really stupid. But High School Musical was torture!

    nope. don't buy it. chorus programs already have a crapload of interested students - that's probably why they made the show in the first place. now if they had an orch-dork show, i would might feel differently.

    no. it's total suckage. no in between. but i guess you already know my humble opinion on that one... :tongue:

    They didn't have plenty of interested students at Canterbury, especially among the boys but now they all want to be in chorus. The chorus teacher at my school also showed me an article where they cited the "Glee effect" and the sudden rise in chorus enrollment in many schools across the country, even among jocks and other kids that would have never considered enrolling in a music class before. While I'm no fan of the show, as a music teacher I like to see more kids getting involved in music for whatever the reason. BTW, they sorta had an "orch dork" show in the 80s, it was called "Fame" (based on the movie) and lots of people thought that show sucked too. :-)

    Maybe the one episode you saw sucked, but that doesn't mean they all do. I don't blame you though for not wanting to watch another to see if that's true or not. If a TV series doesn't draw me in right away, I pretty much write it off too. I just happened to catch a good episode the first time I watched (more for the storyline really than the music).

    I'm here! I didn't think there would be a dumber show than American Idol but apparently I was wrong.

    No offense to anyone posting here, but as a band and orchestra geek in high school I was always annoyed by the choir kids. Singing in unison in the hallways while on your way to Chemistry class. No one else wants to hear that crap. Why don't you learn how to actually play an instrument? 85% of them couldn't even sing their way out of a paper bag. :P

    I can't stand Glee. I try to stop it when ever I see it. Yesterday, I popped a kids balloon who was being too gleeful.

    Oh wait do you mean the TV show ... I don't watch it.

    Lol!

    band geek and orch dorks unite! i know what you mean. especially when i was in college at art school. there was a voice major who made a habit of practicing opera music at mealtimes while sitting directly beside my left ear. she was a very, very good singer, but i still wanted her to suffer a slow death for being so annoying.

    Assuming I was a manic depressive, I could still easily postulate that I hate the Glee Show more than life itself. It's terrible.

    AHHHH! All this hate for the show is like a stab to the heart!

    I've been a loyal fan since the pilot and I met the cast that first summer before it truly started airing.

    I have to say though, that I haven't been as avid a fan with parts of this past season because the plot keeps changing so much.

    However, I have two shirts, a hat, and a couple calenders and posters to prove my love for the show!

    I'm sure the ONE episode you saw did suck. :tongue: :tongue: back at you, your horse, your mother's horse, and her mother's horse. (That's a lot of generations of horses).

    Same. I don't understand how folks can possibly hate Glee this much. It is pure joy.

    My dog is even named after a character.
