Can I Get an Amen?

A lot of people out there will disagree with me on this, but I have to come out and say it:  Glee sucks.

I know, it won four Primetime Emmy Awards as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy.  I know, over ten million people tune in each week to watch the latest episode.  I know, the show features some pretty cool arrangements of songs I actually like.

But something about the show just rubs me the wrong way.  Perhaps it's the awkward delivery of the jokes that always make me wonder whether or not it was supposed to be funny.  Perhaps it's the escapist use of the musical numbers, which don't actually seem to fit in with the advancement of the plot.  But definitely it's because of the abominable, horrendous, dreadful lip-synching.

Okay, so I probably don't have the right to judge, since I've only seen two episodes of the show, including last week's Britney/Brittany episode.  Hey, cut me some slack.  I'm weak, and I give in to media advertisements like a fat kid gives in to bacon wrapped chicken wings.

In conclusion, I might actually enjoy the show more if instead of concentrating on over-dramatized dance numbers, it focused on a better plotline and showcasing the performers' undeniable vocal talent.
