What a gleeful show Glee is....NOT!

[1whirlwind]

Last night I watched the TV show Glee. It's been given a lot of publicity...was showcased on Oprah last week and on American Idol last night. So, I thought it might be refreshing to see young folks singing and dancing even if it is slated for a much younger audience. And, it seems to have a huge younger audience.

In the first segment a guy was leaving his wife, who it turns out is pregnant, there is also a cheerleader in the Glee club who is pregnant ( I didn't watch last year so I don't know who the dad is). The mean and tomboyish PE teacher jumped into bed with the principal in order to bribe him. The same PE teacher sent two of her cheerleader girls on a trek to take a boyfriend away from a member on the Glee club...those two cheerleaders are Lesbian. They made the statement to the young man...."you get to watch us makeout...every guy's dream." One of the male members of the Glee Club is also gay...overtly gay.

So, this wonderful show is just chock full of joyful and wholesome things.

Jeremiah 9:21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

Death, Satan, enters our windows...our windows to the world...television, computers, radios, etc. He sits in our homes and takes our children captive.

i do not think the cheerleaders are lesbian
just willing to use sexuality to manipulate people... that is probably even worse

It was never billed to be wholesome, Family, Leave it to Beaver, type of show. Never.

It's off beat humor and satire. It's popular because the humor is not your run of the mill slap stick dumb down humor but more at poke fun at our modern sterotypes and phobies etc.

It was and is billed as a push the envelope type of comedy show, Never as this "lets gather the kids around with popcorn and say jolly gee willyikers."

Any worse then "Southpark" ?

I dont watch TV really but my husband does, though he has recently gotten me hooked on 24 mostly because I have had back trouble this past 2 years and I cant sit and type too long (must lay or stand and type).

Its the last season of the show so watching it wont last too long.

I dont find anything too interesting on TV (personally)

LOL no not that type of humor. SouthPark is geared to the late night College students type of humor.

I'm actually a Nat Geo, HD Theater and Discovery Channel nut, and then throw in my guily pleasures of Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race.
Though I do find Fringe to be rather smart ala the X Files type. though I haven't got into too much

and of course me sports. Kentucky Derby coming up in a couple of weeks

Woo HOO!

 

[Tangible]

We don't have TV.

Not because of a "gee, look! aren't we the good little Christian family" attitude, but more of a "our lives are so busy, why pay for TV when we would never really watch it, we don't really have the money for it, and you can't find anything good to watch anyway" kind of attitude.

I love not having TV.

My husband watches "Fringe" too (along with sports ofcourse). I dont know many men who dont watch sports. Maybe you's two might get along plopped on the couch with the remote in hand (well...as long as you dont need to hold it) cause he's stingy that way

Well, my older kids do, anyway. Between the kids, the house and the wife, with a family like ours there's not much time for me to do much reading - unless I can "multi-task" for a few minutes here and there.

I hear ya, I'm thinking of trying audio books and putting them on my MP3 player and see if I can multi task that way.

Oooohh we could have a problem. I take the remote with me even if I just going to the kitchen so my wife doesn't snag. (seriously)


But your husband seems to have a good taste in shows.

Your so bad! (poor wife!)

When two or more heads of their own household come together and watch the tube together there must be a consensus as to what they agree together to watch ("the game" more often then not) otherwise they would never watch TV together

Ive seen them get together for the superbowl and as soon as the commercials come they start shouting at one another... "hey dont change that the commercials are the best part!" the one with the remote is like, "I want to check this other thing out for a second I'll put it right back"... the other is like, "What the heck are you doing?" the other is like, "I dont need this Im getting more nachos"

I dont know why they all dont stay home and be as king of their own remote.

I have to disagree. It is billed as a family show. The day I saw them on Oprah the audience was full of screaming TEENS. They love the show and the casual attitude toward homosexuality and promiscuity is not by chance. It, as well as many other shows, makes it seem like a normal and wonderful way of life.

I assure you, the audience is not middle aged and older folks. It's geared to young minds...for a reason.

I personally enjoy Glee. True, it has very unchristian-like topics for each episode, but it never claims to be a wholesome family show. Glee does, however, represent many of the broad stereotypes/situations that are out there in real schools. They just put a toungue-in-cheek hollywood spin on it.

You know, I'm thinking you aren't giving nearly enough credit to adolescents for intelligence. They aren't stupid. Perhaps just entering Piaget's 4th stage of Formal Operational cognition, but not stupid. Most of them can tell the difference between television and reality.

I've never heard of it.


I need to watch more TV.

 

[Rhamiel]

is it any worse then any other TV show?

What I meant by Family show as in a wholesome type of show llike Leave it to Beaver, 7th Heaven, Little House on the Praire type of show.

and seriously just because teens love it in no way shape or form makes it a Family show. Teens love MTV's The Hills, Laguna Beach, etc.
Teens loving a show does not equal wholesome.

But it is actually very smart satire comedy.

The show looks dorky anyway.
