Part Down was funny -- Glee is just plain stupid and the role she played on two and a half men was brilliant!!!

You just lost all your credibility right there.

Two and a half men is one of the most formulaic, predictable, schlocky shows out there. I've never seen an episode of Glee, but if Two and a Half Men is better, then Glee must be really bad. Cop Rock bad.

Two and a Half Men is very popular but it does nothing for me. I've tried to get into it and it's never made me laugh out loud once. I gave up and decided I just don't get it.

Oh, I bet you get it just fine. It's just not funny.

I occasionally watch this with my wife and it is usually good for a laugh or two. But last night's show just "jumped the shark" a little too much for me: The girls playing football; the team playing two people short (four of them being girls) and being down only 17-0 at half. The team dressing up and performing a halftime show? I can suspend SOME disbelief, but not THAT much. Oh yeah, and the opposing team hiking a shotgun snap over the QB's head when all they had to do was kneel down. Come on, man.

I hadn't watched it before - I'd actually avoided it - but did last night because of all the awards it had won. I thought I probably should see what all of the hype was about. Most of the numbers were pretty catchy (A couple made me cringe) but the s.c.r.i.p.t was absolutely horrible. The football storyline was like some choir kids who knew nothing about sports wrote it.

Before you jump me, I was the kid that was involved in everything in high school so I was the choir and theatre geek who was also the jock that played a bunch of sports, too. So I know how clueless about sports some of those choir kids can be.

Can somebody who's seen these shows tell me what's the difference between High School Musical and Glee?

When it's good, Glee is a great show that is extremely funny. But there are a lot of bad episodes, and they can be really bad. IMO, it was best early on and has gone downhill starting towards the middle or end of season 1. They got way too caught up with guest stars, and should have stopped after the first Kristin Chenoweth episode (possibly my favorite so far).

Jane Lynch is great as Sue, and Brittany's (Heather Morris) lines are half the reason I watch the show. Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?

The only redeeming quality of the show was when the hockey bullies came on and they all had sweet mullets.

This kind of crap happens when you have people who know absolutely nothing about sports involved in creating a TV show. Football? 11 people play at once? So there must just be 11 on the team then, right?

Then when a few guys quit the coach posts a signup and is amazed none of the 30 people who were cut in the fall signed up to play. Hmmm, let's see. We've got 41 guys out for football. I'll just keep 11.

I get that that's not what the show's about but come on, if you want to have any credibility with an audience at all, at least ask someone, how hard is that?
Do you honestly think their target audience cares about something like that?

When they air it after the Super Bowl trying to get new viewers, you would think that they would depict football a little more realistically.

They aired the episode after the SUPER BOWL, which means they were trying to pick up new viewers. The new viewers they were trying to pick up are most likely football fans. So their potential target audience would care.

yeah, my wife watched it last night and i was too lazy to get up so I caught some of it. I acutally liked the glee Chevy commercial and I'm man enough to admit the parts where they sang were pretty good - but the football thing was terrible. when the started chanting "brains" I got up and went upstairs ... so brutal. nothing like alienating whatever football fans you had watching by not trying to make it even somewhat realistic. try a little.

The super bowl gets everyone watching. Plenty of their normal audience wouldve been watching the commercials, in fact id wager plenty would be watching specifically for the commercials (moreso than average). Just because it was on during the super bowl doesnt mean theyre targeting football fans specifically... just trying to get it in front of a ****load of people.

Do you know what their target audience was for last night? The poster above you is dead on with his reaction to it too.
News flash, the show's target audience is women, and the women that watch the show do not care if Glee's depiction of football was accurate or not. Good day sir.
