"Glee" is the next big thing that everyone is talking about, that's fine with me, go to all the entertainment sites. ( www.zap2it.com etc) I've seen one episode and thought it was OK but targeted to teenaged girls, I am neither. I'm sure high schools and will be flooded with teens wearing "Glee" T-shirts if they're not already. I am not going to jump on the "Glee" band wagon, if you love this show then I hope it runs for years.

No you shouldn't IMO. I've given it a fair shake. I've watched at least 5 episodes and it hasn't grown on me at all. The musical numbers aren't very catchy to me. The characters are too fake for me to handle. I mean I'm used to some extreme characters, but these ones just don't strike me as realistic in any way.
It just misses the mark for me. So, I vote no. You're not missing anything.

The return episode was only mediocre, I'll admit, but it's actually a lot of fun. if Andy Hallett were still with us, this'd probably be his show.
Plus, you know Joss will be directing an ep this season, and NPH will be involved.
(Admittedly, a large branch of my family are choir geeks, so it's something to talk about when we get together.)
And then there's Kurt and Rachel's duet version of "Defying Gravity," which is one of the most awesome things in existence.

The ONLY reason i watched it (at first), was because it is set in (albeit pretty much in name only ) my home town( i could start a whole new thread with the problems/differences between the real town and the show, but i won't). And when you are Lost In Middle America, how often does that happen.
i continue to watch it, cuz even though i am a completely hetero, rather large-ish man-shaped person, i apparently have the movie and tv tastes of a flaming homosexual. ( I loves me the so called "chick flicks",esp Romantic Comedies, and have a bit of a soft spot for musicals)I am apparently slightly "gayer" than my gay freind.
what ya gonna do?

I agree with CS. Although the return episode this week was disappointing, the show is often quite entertaining. It's generally well-written for what it is, and is often usually very entertaining.
It's not as deep or dark as some other shows, but it's FUN, and that alone makes it worth considering!

I'm not caring about this, yet, but it is THE thing which is being talked about - everywhere.
On facebook, on the radio, and now here....sheesh.

I don't see it! Some things are not for everyone and this is not for me. I won't rip it apart, but I find it boring and I can't get into anyone on there and it doen't matter if Joss is directing and NPH is on there,..it is nothing I like to watch. But I can't stand "The Office' either and I hear everyone rave about it,...not 'my cup of tea'.

I watch it each week, since it's something to watch as a family (finding a show that both the guys and girls like is HARD!) and I quite enjoy parts, but I definitely DON'T understand the big deal about it.
Honestly, half of my interest in watching it is from a writing standpoint. Those who watch it might know what I'm talking about. I'll frequently watch it and think about the structure of an episode, and the structure of the season, and why certain events happened so early on in the season, before you could care, and why other events happened before you got to know characters well. Episode-wise, it's written fairly well, but the structure is just awful in my opinion. It looks the build-up and pay off that any good show should have, and that's what keeps me from loving it, I think.

While I understand that it has a certain pull for the gay community (portraying sexuality in a more realistic light) I completely failed to enjoy it.
Which is a shame because some of the cast have very strong voices.
It's a musical soap opera set in a high school.
It's set in a high school because that's probably the only place you might possibly believe the overly dramatic stories. Or rather the believable stories which are then made overly dramatic.
I'm just waiting for the amnesia or coma scene.

100% agree. The Office does nothing for me. To me the characters would work much better as cartoons. Cause they sure as heck don't act like real people. I felt the same way about Arrested Development. The characters are just too stupid to be human. I can't suspend that much disbelief.
