Can we please stop the Glee Revolution?
I'm sick and tired of seeing and hearing about this sad sack of a show.
Now before all you Glee-obsessed fans try and bombard me with comments about how it's well-written, acted and put together, you can just stop there. I've tried to watch it. Twice now I've gone back and tried to figure out what I was missing, but I have to conclude that America just has shitty taste in television.
The singing and acting is mediocre at best. If you like the songs they perform so much, go download the ORIGINAL version.
The storylines are recycled from other television scripts and break no ground whatsoever.
Also, maybe this is just weird, but I get a mega-creeper vibe from Mr. Shue or whatever his name is.
I also find their representation of teenagers in high school, teachers and adults over-wrought with stereotypes.
I also want to point out....would you still watch it without the musical numbers?
Nope

Kids and the Internet: My life as a teen and the internet
It's a scary world out there for a kid. What's even scarier is nowadays is parents have to worry about what their kids are doing online, chatting with predators, giving out mommy's credit card number to people in Siberia etc.
I have to say as a child my parents didn't worry about what I was doing online. Back in our days, the most we did online was go onto AOL messaging and chat/gossip with our friends.
My parents also did the unspeakable thing and kept the computer in our living room. The computer was always in plain sight. Problem solved. Thanks mom and dad for not giving me privacy. But it certainly prevented me from participating in any questionable online behavior. (Not that I really wanted to, but some privacy while chatting about cute boys with my friends would have been nice.)
The day I got my own personal laptop for college in the summer after graduating high school was the greatest day of my life. And now what do I primarily use my laptop for? No, not talking about cute boys with my friends, but watching TV shows online and occasionally a bit of homework.
I guess I grew up.
