Oh, i don’t know....I am rather proud of the fact that I’ve never watched Glee.

I thought that right from the outset, it was unbearably not only liberal, but viciously anti-conservative and anti-Christian.

A weekly dose of homosexual propaganda is one of the last things I need.

My wife liked it for the music and dance but I liked the outrageous Sue parts.

I have not only not watched Glee, I have avoided television for more than 6 seasons (of Glee or other programs).

I don’t need to invite Hollywood into my home and permit it to insult me, my politics, my faith, my sex, my beliefs, or my skin color.

Isn’t “glee” a code word for “gay”? If it ain’t, it ought to be!

This show was always intended to promote a liberal and immoral agenda that has the goal of further distancing people from God. It was and is wrapped in an appealing and deceiving package. It has always been crap. A story line with a pregnant cheerleader is hardly new and edgy ( have you never seen a 1980’s after school special?)

We have Tv’s in our home only because my husband enjoys football, college basketball and the occasional Red Sox game. Otherwise it is turned off.

“yes I watch Glee, okay?!”

Not OK.

Anytime you see Jane Lynch in the cast, I would not hold out hope that this show would be anything but.

I thought this was going to be about the insufferable later seasons of M.A.S.H.

Glee was just a big Homosexual propaganda effort.

Didn't watch it, wasn't interested. Wished others were smarter.

Successful TV shows are always ruined in one of 3 ways

1) They add a baby

2) The Hot Girl gets a short hair cut

3) The main star(s) start pushing their Liberal activism is all parts of the show

Just another gay writer that snidely attacks straights by slipping politics into his articles; this time about "teabaggers". I think he could give pajama boy a run for his money on gayness:

Actually, I’ve never even seen “Glee”....or any of the “High School High” stuff either.

My sense in all the hoopla about either is that music is not the be-all and end-all that has to have some sort of agenda.

Certainly, music is very powerful. It evokes emotions and feelings that can’t be matched. It’s why clever movie directors/producers place well-known period music in their films; the viewers identify with the music and try to relate their experiences and feelings with what’s going on in the movie.

But to relegate an entire series, an ever ongoing parade of music as it pertains to social justice, progressivism or activism is lost on me.

Chosen properly, the odd inclusion of a song of days past is very powerful and meaningful to me. Constant contrivance is not.

Eventually, leftist writers decide they have a forum to push their political views. These views are the same views as every other show so it loses its freshness. It’s just yet another show doing what every other show does.
Why bother?

Probably more likely the feeling they feel when they see an unsupervised child...
