10 reasons why I can't stand the show Glee:

Oct 28, 2009 12:32

1. Show takes place in a world where singing and dancing is somehow not totally annoying.

2. Show takes place in a world where everyone has a secret desire, buried deep, to express who they really are, and the only way they can do that is through singing and dancing.

3. Show takes place in a world where 40 year olds can form an all-male acappella group that sings 90s hip hop and get a gig in a club where people go see them and, instead of finding the whole thing preposterous and sad, they somehow find it completely awesome. What the fuck?

3. Show takes place in a world where singing and dancing is just about the greatest thing ever, to everybody.

4. The male lead is a watered-down Orlando Bloom and when he breaks into song I feel embarrassed for him.

5. The tokenism in the show I find frankly insulting.  Yes you have a sassy black girl, yes you have an effeminate and fashion-forward gay boy, yes you have a nerd in a wheelchair, yes you have a silly arab-american school principal, but every last main character is just plain white.

6. Spontaneous, yet very carefully rehearsed, song and dance numbers.

7. Football coach is ugly.

8. Show takes place in a world where everything important revolves around high school glee club, especially for the adults who should have more important things to worry about.

9. Singing and dancing? Jesus christ...

10. Repeatedly uses Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" to express the idea that you shouldn't stop believing. Creative!

1 reason why I even started watching Glee to begin with:

1. Jane Lynch at her Jane Lynchiest. Gold.
