\"glee\"<\/a> I\u2019ve now watched a full 11 episodes of Glee, and I\u2019m perplexed.  Do I like it?  Do I hate it?  I can\u2019t figure it out!  It\u2019s a bit of both\u2026  I want to love it but all the little things that bug me keep piling up and putting me off.  <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like when you meet a new guy and he seems perfect in every way, you are completely enamored.  That is, until that one time you are early for a date and catch him picking his nose\u2026 or that one time when he had the heinous breath.  You want to forget it ever happened, you want him to be perfect again, but you just can\u2019t forget.  Now every time you kiss him you breathe through your mouth, and when he tries to get romantic and feed you strawberries, your insides wobble because all you can think of are the traces of booger left on his finger.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how I feel about Glee, and here\u2019s why\u2026<\/p>\n

First, for those of you who haven\u2019t heard of Glee yet (seriously?!), I\u2019ll show you a preview so you don\u2019t get lost.<\/p>\n

Now, lets get down to the nitty gritty.  What do I not like about this show? <\/p>\n

\"gleeteach\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

One of my biggest annoyances is the teacher, Mr. Schuester.  Ok, he\u2019s cute-ish and he was probably a good choice for the teacher, but why do they have to make him so\u2026 lame?  <\/p>\n

Not only is he not bright enough to figure out that his wife, THAT HE LIVES WITH, is not even pregnant but the dude doesn\u2019t even act his age.  It\u2019s like he\u2019s stuck in a dream world where he\u2019s still one of the kids.   Whenever he does one of his routines I want to stand up and scream\u2026<\/p>\n

YOU ARE NOT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!!!!
<\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n

\"gleefinn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s this guy, Finn. His big storyline is that he\u2019s being accused of having fathered the baby of one of the cheerleaders\u2026 BY PREMATURELY EJACULATING IN A HOT TUB!  <\/p>\n

I know those little fellas can swim but they aren\u2019t like heat seeking missiles.  The guy is like 17 years old, surely he knows more about the birds and the bees than that.  It\u2019s like he just doesn\u2019t have brain, it\u2019s all air up there.  He wanders around doing what he\u2019s told with this blank look on his face.  It bugs me.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s just to stupid and easily manipulated for me to like.<\/p>\n

\"gleewife\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

The wife (Mrs. Schuester) also gets all over my last nerve.  I loved this actress<\/a> back in her days on Boston Public<\/a> but between her stint on Nip \/ Tuck<\/a> and now this, I\u2019m so over her and her crazy psycho bitch characters.  Obviously, she\u2019s made to play this kind of role because she\u2019s GOOD at it, I mean, really good!  That doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t get under my skin though.<\/p>\n

\u2026 and this fake baby story, oh good lord, enough already!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that her Justin Timberlake wannabe husband will catch on, divorce her and marry the guidance counselor \u2013 SOON! <\/p>\n

Then there are the irrelevant characters that they keep trying to make<\/font> storylines for but really don\u2019t matter at all.  Fake-Stuttering Asian girl, wheelchair boy, weird tall Asian dude, the cheerios and the rest\u2026 don\u2019t try to make up stories to make them seem important, they are background, just leave them be.  We don\u2019t care about them.<\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s one I am on the fence about at the moment.  I used to love him but for some reason over the last episode or two, I\u2019m turning my nose up at him\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Yeah, it\u2019s Kurt, and before you hog tie me and burn me at the stake, I said I\u2019m on the fence!!  There is still love there, but I think I\u2019m just having a bit of Kurt overload lately and the recent thing with him and the makeover made me want to punch him and make him squeal.  <\/p>\n

I loved his storyline about coming out to his dad, I love his quirks and overall personality, and I love what he brings to the show.  So I probably will fall back on the love side of the fence again, I just hope they don\u2019t keep this bitchy queen business up with him for long.<\/p>\n

Plus, him doing Single Ladies<\/a> and getting  the football team<\/a> to do it too will always earn him much love.  <\/p>\n

On the plus side, there are some things I really like about this show.  I like some of the storylines, I like the singing and dancing and I like that some of the funny bits really make me laugh like mental.<\/p>\n

\"gleerach\"<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I really like Rachel Berry, for example!  Although I suspect she probably irritates the bejesus out of other people, I think she\u2019s funny as hell.  She\u2019s cute, she can sing like a bandit and she makes me laugh.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that one day when Finn realizes that his baby mama is really a big, fat, Puck fucking liar, he\u2019ll dump her and move on to Rachel.   She won\u2019t let him get away with the blank stare and stupid routine.  Even though she\u2019s completely in love with him, once the novelty wears off she\u2019ll demand he cut the shit and get a clue.<\/p>\n

Yes, she\u2019s obnoxious, but at least she isn\u2019t as stupid as the others.<\/p>\n

\"GLEE:<\/a> <\/p>\n

Hootttttttt!!  I was so glad when Puck came along because I was beginning to think that all the men in Glee were either gay or as dumb as a lamp post.  I\u2019m not saying that Puck is an Einstein or anything, but at least you can forgive his stupidity because he looks good.<\/p>\n

Plus, even though he acts like a \u2018tard at times, I hold out hope for him and he does show some promise.  At least he knows how sex works and managed to figure out that he\u2019s the REAL father of bimbo cheerleader\u2019s baby.  Even with just that he\u2019s miles ahead of the rest of them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d settle for seeing him with Rachel too. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I also really like Emma Pillsbury, the guidance counselor.  She\u2019s totally weird with all her phobias and insecurities but she\u2019s sweet, and she is hopelessly in love with Mr. Schuester.  <\/p>\n

She never sings, but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s meant to, it would be cute though!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that once he realizes his wife is a tool who is only pretending to be pregnant and he breaks up with her, that he\u2019ll end up with this one.   She\u2019s too honestly and too bad a liar to be able to pull a scam like his current wife is on him, and that\u2019s saying something considering he seems to be totally gullible. <\/p>\n

Now, given all of this\u2026 no matter how much some of the characters and plots on the show irritate me, there is one thing I love about it.  One thing that will keep me coming back to watch every episode in fear of missing something.<\/p>\n

\"GLEE:<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

SUE SYLVESTER, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know the photo is huge, she deserves it.  She is the queen of television.  The producers of Glee better hope to GOD she never leaves the show because a lot of us would probably wander off and stop watching if she did.<\/font><\/p>\n

So, I guess it\u2019s \u201cTO GLEE\u201d, for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
