The Glee Paradox

thedailyizz:

digatisdi:

I have several problems with the show. I will list them here and describe them in detail. It’s Tuesday, so while everybody is posting about how great tonight’s episode was, I’ll talk about the reality of the show.

 I am glad someone stood up against the “gleeks” and diagnosed the show for what it really is.

The problem with Glee isn’t that it misrepresents the teenage experience, or trivialises blah blah or blah blah gay blah marginalised blah. The problem with Glee is it’s fucking awful. It’s lazy, cheap and badly-written. The fact that people were unquestioningly championing it as representative of homosexuality is incidental.

However, I wouldn’t care if it was sexist, gayist, and racist in every episode as long as it was a good show, as long it was telling stories that were worth telling. And Glee never was.

It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do fucking Glee … And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his fucking show… fuck that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee.

Glee Pitch Meeting

  • What do people like to watch on television?
  • Well, American Idols been topping the ratings for the last few years, so let's make a show like that!
  • No. That's been a done a whole bunch of times for every possible profession. We could do another one, like America's Thinnest Plumber or something, but I think it might be too late to jump on that bandwagon.
  • OK, forget that. But we still need something that we can sell to the core American Idol audience. What else do people like to watch on television?
  • Young, pretty people.
  • Where do young, pretty people hang out normally?
  • The mall?
  • Yeah. The mall!
  • No, not the mall. High schools! High schools are full of young, pretty people. Right?
  • I guess. OK, let's forget about the American Idol thing and just go for the high school idea. You can never have enough high school dramas.
  • But wait ... what if we could... somehow take the massive audience there seems to be for badly-rendered 80s pop songs and put it into a high school...
  • How would that even work? You don't want a bunch of morons just breaking out into song for no reason every week. There would have to be some reason for it.
  • Like a musical high school show? Hate to break it to you, but they already have that, genius; it's called High School Musical. That's not going to work as a TV series because we can't have them trying out for a musical every week! That would be ridiculous.
  • Your face is ridiculous! We can just have them in a club for that sort of thing, like in universities, the one all the losers join, what do they call them?
  • The Glee clubs?
  • Yeah! One of those, but in a high school.
  • OK but how do we make it believable that these young pretty people are actually a bunch of losers in a glee club?
  • I DON'T KNOW this was your stupid idea. Put one of them in a wheelchair, I don't know.
  • We need an Asian.
  • Obviously. And a Jew.
  • Wait. How about the Asian and the Jew are the same person?
  • Oh, right, yeah, and why not give her a stutter while you're at it!
  • Maybe I will.
  • Whatever. What are we going to call it?
  • Let's just call it Glee until we can think of something better.
  • Done and done.
