Glee is a Relative Term

I know there is room on TV for a comedy which celebrates song and dance. You know, a little shtick here and some jazz fingers there, topped off with a big number involving all the musical ingenuity of a diva's live concert. This perk fest of an event is enough for one night but to have it weekly in the form of Fox's ever popular Glee is just plain wrong.

The new previews for Glee takes the pep a step further with the cover of Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind, which has already had its day in the sun and doesn't need a come back of epically campy proportions by foe gangster "gleeks" dancing on bleachers. Why? Why? Why? Does this show insist on making me turn the channel as soon as its on. I must say, there does seem to be a market for this particular brand of programming, but I can not support the bright eyed, cracked out facial expressions, teenage angst interpreted through song, and overall hot mess that has encompassed the glee universe.

Seriously, how depressing is it now that the popular thing to due on a Tuesday night, is to sit around with your friends and watch Leah Machele and Cory Montieth explore the depths of "stoop culture" while belting out Jay-Z in full track suit and gold rope chains. Stick to your Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Madonna jams, ya prime time, Emmy awarding winning, "ground breaking"JOKES!!!!!
