To Glee or not to Glee, that is the question.

There are many times when I wonder if RyanM is chortling at the audience's expense ... or if he's being intentionally sardonic or even cynical at human nature ... or if he's totally clueless and does things in a haphazard or – worse - hamfisted fashion. Well, a lot of my uncertainty showed up in "The New Rachel".

There was a WHOLE bunch of unpleasantness IMO.
( See how critical Helenka can be )

Huh. I didn't think I would rant for so long. But, despite the things I've been critical about, I can't fault the singing or the song choices. I've mentioned before that I don't ever listen to the popular music of the day, so what's on the show is IT. And I do enjoy it (and download sales prove that millions do, too, not to mention Billboard rankings, even more impressive because most radio stations REFUSE to play the songs). So, if ALL I get out of the show is some inventive mashups, then that's a good thing. But I wish there could be more consistent character development and a decreased emphasis on weird teen drama. Oy!
