Is it time to cancel Glee?

[operalover21]

Probably a couple seasons too late but after last night's abysmal episode it's probably finally time to give this show the hook. Like just about anything that Ryan Murphy touches it seems really good for awhile (or not at all as is the case with The New Normal) and then goes steadily downhill until it culminates in an episode last night that is not only bad but trivializes a serious issue at the same time. It seems the only reason to tune into the show is to feast one's eyes upon the lusciousness that is Chord Overstreet. But I don't think that's enough to sustain a one hour show.

You beat me to it. The time to cancel it was a couple of seasons ago. I loved season 1, but season 2 was just painful. Haven't watched it since.

Agreeded, it is time to pull the plug.

If you think Season 2 was painful you should have watched Seasons 3 and 4. Egads. This season has been so bad. I finally gave up American Idol this year (and from the look of things I made the right decision. All girl final? Give me a break) and I should have given this up as well but I do like gazing up Chord Overstreet and they've given him more to do but the rest of it is pure dreck. The new characters couldn't be more boring if they tried and the storylines are beyond dreadful. Occasionally, the music perks things up but even that has been way below par.

I gave up on it this year. I was recording it, but never got around to watching any of the episodes. I think I only saw about half of the previous season.

Hmm. In my opinion there's plenty more eye candy than just Chord Overstreet. Yes, it does seem weird for guys in their mid-20s to be playing high school characters (Chord is 24 and Cory Montieth is 30!). I really like Dean Geyer, for instance (he's 26):

I can't say I'd throw Blake Jenner out of bed, either:

Here he is with another co-star whose name I can't recall...

Oh, it's Jacob Artist:

Matthew Morrisson's quite nice:

Grant Gustin's a cutie:

Quite frankly, I also like Kevin McHale:

If this is his girl, I think he could do better:

Which actor do you like best?

I know it has nothing to do with this string, but I ran across this shot of Alex Pettyfer, who totally turns me on 100%, and I had to share:

Been time to cancel for a while now, IMO. The music isn't as good as it once was, and the plot lines are going nowhere.

[operalover21]

Unfortunately, for me, that Pettyfer being a complete and total asshole and douchebag eliminates him from the hotness contest.

 

As for the other supposedly hot guys on Glee, most of the ones mentioned here have been on the show for 5 minutes (Dean Geyer and Grant Gustin come to mind) and no longer on it. The two new guys (the white guy and the black guy) have all the personality of overcooked cabagge.

 

Cory Monteith has the body of a manatee.

[operalover21]

Blake Jenner is nice from the neck down ... great body and incredible shoulders but from the neck up ... he's an emo with a bad haircut.

operalover, Eddie Fox is still on Survivor, even though he's wearing pants over those tight red briefs. I doubt Eddie will win, but he's not as dumb as I first thought.

I don't know much about Pettyfer... What makes him a douchebag? After I read your post, I read up on him in Wikipedia, and came across this: Pettyfer has seven tattoos, including a Celtic cross on his chest, Tibetan script on the inside of his right arm, the words "What Goes Around Comes Around" on his right shoulder, a Katakana script on his lower waist, and the letters "ER," the initials of ex-girlfriend Emma Roberts inside interlinking hearts on his right wrist. When Contactmusic asked him about the "ER" tattoo he said "I don't know how to say it, she's a lovely, lovely girl, we had a spell of something that is over now, but we're on good terms. She's beautiful, she's great; we're really good friends." The actor had gotten Roberts' name tattooed on his wrist while the two were dating. "I'm going to get asked about this, aren't I? I thought it was just between me and her," he said when asked about the tattoo.. I'm not sure that qualifies for douchebag status, but it definitely qualifies him as an extreme dumb-ass, not just for tattooing the name of someone to whom you're not even engaged let alone married, but for thinking that a tattoo on your wrists when you're a model and actor is "just between me and her." I guess it just goes to show that when you have extreme good looks, you can be successful even if you're as dumb as a door-nail.

Yep, I totally agree JAG. The music and plots have been very disappointing the past couple of seasons. I loved Glee at one time, but it's time to cut the cord (and Chord) and let it go.

He's extremely difficult to work with, apparently believes his own BS. When EW did a cover story on Magic Mike, he refused to be photographed with the rest of the cast and so he's absent from the story. There's quite a few stories like that one. Just not a nice guy.

I lost all interest in the series in the middle of the second season.
