Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a fan of +GLEE and all it represents. They know that I not only enjoy the show but I am a fan of the storyline, the actors, and the lessons that come with it. While this show has inspired many to come out of their shells and join together as GLEEKS, many non viewers may misconstrue what the show really is about. It's about many things including acceptance, love, friendship, finding yourself, and following your dreams. The McKinley High Glee Club was just the beginning.
Sure some of the scenes are a little far fetched, but that's just the type of show it is. The songs are meant to be like a music video. For example, in +The Glee Project the contestants would all perform a song together and it would be filmed as a music video. My personal favorite will always be Mad World. It was deep, and beautiful.

Alex Newell (Unique), The Glee Project, will be coming back for the reoccurring role of a transgender student in support of Coach Beiste's decision to become a man. With much love and support from Unique and a 200 member trans-choir, the group brings hope, support and love as they will sing “I Know Where I’ve Been.” The group was brought together for the series through the help of GLAAD.
I think it's great that Glee has pushed the limits, and showed the world there is more to each other than what is on the outside. As expressed in last week's episode, family is all around in the people who love you, not always by blood. The message of love and friendship has always stood out to me in the series, and I'm sad to see it go. It's one of my favorite shows on television. Good thing it's on +Netflix and I own it on DVD.
I like Glee - I plan to record the show. I too will be watching reruns on Netflix. I agree with you about Glee discussing so many topics that do affect us.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Glee, but I totally feel like I missed the boat on that one. I might Netflix marathon it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI love Glee and I need to catch up :D
ReplyDeleteOk a big confession here, I have never seen the show. I should though. I like it when difficult topics are addressed
ReplyDeleteI watched the first season and loved it, and caught a few shows here and there since, but somehow lost track of it. I need to catch up On Demand. I am a big musicals fan, so I love it for the music, if nothing else. :)
ReplyDeleteI stay up-to-date on Glee since it's being recorded so I can watch it at my convenience. It's a shame the series is coming to a close.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a handful of Glee episodes but I've enjoyed them. It's good to see progressive movement in shows like these.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Glee but then it went in a direction that really started to turn me off. I did always LOVE the music and the main actress.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I haven't seen Glee! It seems like something my daughter and I would love! I love that it shows acceptance of others and I love this new choir idea that you spoke of! I will have to start watching!
ReplyDeleteI've actually never watched Glee! Not because I didn't think I would like it, it's just one of those shows that's never worked into my schedule LOL
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Glee. One of these days I may try and watch it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty good show! They all have great voices, too.
DeleteWe used to watch Glee all the time, then we canceled our cable. It always had such great messages for teens and young adults.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Glee in a long time - but what a great thing they are getting behind and showing it to a main stream audience :) x
ReplyDeleteI admit, I am a Gleek! I love the music and the characters. I like that they deal with a lot of real situations.
ReplyDeleteI have not watched Glee. Probably wont watch, But that is just because I have never got into it
ReplyDeleteI have never watched but I know people really love this show. I am glad that it sends a great message to our young crowd and that it is one of love and friendship.
ReplyDeleteI have only caught bits of the show here and there. I'm glad to know they are stepping out of the traditional box! Kuddos to them.
ReplyDeleteI like your explanation of Glee's storyline - I used to watch it - love the songs and dancing - but, have gotten away from it - need to check it out again
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Glee. But I do love the idea of family being the people who love you and not just the people you are related to. That has definitely been true in my life.
ReplyDeleteI formerly watched he show before the new cast. Love the storylines but I dont watch as many shows as I used to- thanks for the updates.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you have to put a disclaimer out for that. I accept everyone for who they are it has nothing to do with me and my happiness! I have seen a few episodes of Glee I am not a fanatic but I may catch this one!
ReplyDeleteI hate that I have to do that too, but there are a lot of people who put out negative comments on these types of subjects and I can't stand it.
DeleteI have watched Glee and I love the show primarily because of the great singing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Glee much, maybe an episode here or there? It never really got me, but I know many people who love the show!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I think I've watched one episode of Glee. I like that they're touching on acceptance of others
ReplyDeleteI've been watching it since it first came out and love it! Very sad this is the last Season but they do know how to get the message across!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the dark ages when it comes to popular TV. I haven't seen shows that have been around for years, including this one. I always say I'm going to catch up, but I never do.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Glee, but have it on my list of shows to catch up on. It's nice that they show that not every character fits inside the same box. We are all diverse and television shows should reflect that.
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching Glee a few years ago but I love all of the issues they raise. So good for teens to see it!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch it when it first aired. Watched a couple of episode but I have stopped watching it.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Glee in the first couple of seasons. I lost it in the shuffle of me moving, and now I'm like 16 seasons behind or something. It's a shame, really.
ReplyDeleteI have only watched Glee once or twice. It's important for shows to touch on real life issues, that is what makes them a god show.
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with the show, but it sounds like they are touching on real life issues and that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Glee since the first season but I'm interested in tuning in again. I'm glad they are including Transgender characters.-Demetra
ReplyDeleteMy 16 year old LOVES this show! She has seen every episode and tells me about every one once they are over. She is devastated that its the last season. Although i do not agree with homosexuality, i do love the fact that they have every type of kid all in one choir. All races, genders, everything. Blacks,Whites,Asians, Rich,Poor,Jocks,Cheerleaders,Teen mom, Outcasts,Goths, gays, Bisexual, Lesbian, Transgender, jerks. They have every type of high schooler all in one group and they love and support each other even though they are not in the same social groups.I love that!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched an episode of Glee before but I've heard nothing but great things about it. Kudos to them for celebrating diversity!
ReplyDeleteI have never watched this show. I don't really have any plans to watch it.
ReplyDeleteGlee is a fun show. My daughter absolutely loves it. Amber N
ReplyDeleteI don't watch it. While I love music, I absolutely hate 'musicals', shows that keep breaking into song every second just annoy me! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with the any of the subject matter, just the fact that people break out in song! I can only take stuff like that in very small doses.

I haven't seen a lot of the new Glee episodes after Finn died. That one was one of the hardest episodes for me to watch. I cried a LOT!
ReplyDeleteI love what "Glee" did so much, and I find it so saddening that we live in a day and age where disclaimers like this are still required. Whether or not something goes against your beliefs, if the other person is happy, just leave them alone. We're all different, and no one really knows anyone else's story.
