That otherwise normal seeming people are obsessed with Glee is mystifying to me.

*mystifying*

Responses:

I've seen parts of it here and there. - znufrii Jul 26, 13:21
When it's "off", there are still a lot of funny lines (Jane Lynch) and when it's "on", the show is divine. - Trish Jul 26, 13:14 1
- this...please tell crash to play Ika. -- nm - Beaker Jul 26, 13:14
positively or negatively? - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:14 8
- this isn't sight-unseen criticism, BTW - Reagen Jul 26, 13:23 2
  - fair enough... - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:26 1
    - A good example: They took the pregnancy plot and used it in the finale in a way that was some very fine television combining - oblique Jul 26, 13:29
- Not to overdrill the point, but didn't My So-Called Life hammer that a decade ago? - TFox Jul 26, 13:17 4
  - I don't recall as I didn't watch it much. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:28
  - mscl addressed part of it, sure; but not everything. you're dismissing all of "glee" based on one ep. not pushing you to watch more, but that's not - b. Jul 26, 13:20 2
    - it's just making fun of a tv show. i'm not trying to achieve the same level of fairness as hiring policies or housing discrimination. - TFox Jul 26, 13:30 1
      - the mockery is baffling to those of us who watch it however. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:39
Never seen it, never will. nm - Dignan Jul 26, 13:13 2
- My brutha! - Black Rabbit Jul 26, 13:16 1
  - My "brutha" wouldn't have watched a single episode. nm - Dignan Jul 26, 13:20
I enjoy it moderately, but it sure slid downhill from the pilot. With the exception of Joss's episode. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:09 6
- Wheadon episode was a miss unfortunately. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:16 4
  - Safety Dance Flash Mob! -- nm - Diva Jul 26, 13:26 3
    - That was it's brilliant spot. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:28 1
      - its. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:29
    - "Flash Mop" is a very unpleasant thought. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 26, 13:27
- this -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:09
I agree with this completely and I'd like to add Wipeout to the list. - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:09 17
- Forget MXC or Wipeout, Ninja Warrior is where the real pros play. -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 13:20
- It's on par with MXC. The first round is about watching people crash. - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:11 4
  - The last round = endurance. It's more about who isn't exhausted, lately -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:13 3
    - Yeah, the Agitator/Washer thing is *killer*. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:19 2
      - oddly though, it seems easy enough after you've seen it. Hang onto a divider, spin around, jump off. People spend way too much energy trying to - oblique Jul 26, 13:21 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:22
- see, i totally agree with this. boring and repetative. but hey, if people like it, then, cool. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:10
- the japaneese original is even worse i imagine -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:10 4
  - I suspect you are correct. The English dub amuses me. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:12 3
    - seen "takeshi's castle" (or whatever it's called) too? - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:14 2
      - In the US they took that show, gave it an English dubbed soundtrack that mocks everyone, and call it MXC. That's the comparison I'm making. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:17
      - found it -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:16 [youtube]
- how can you not like Wipeout? -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:09 4
  - Honestly, I find it really boring and ultra dumb. The first time I ever saw (or even heard about) it, was in the hospital. I woke up to it on the tv - Trish Jul 26, 13:26
  - I love MXC. Wipeout just doesn't bring the funny. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:11 2
    - What is MXC? -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:13 1
      - Some Japanese show that's similar here with really crummy English dubbing - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:13
I have never watched the show -- nm - amoxy Jul 26, 13:06 10
- It was on at the doctor's waiting room once. Just shrill and obnoxious. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 13:16
- less than 5 min here - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:08
- I saw one; heard the plotting mysteries here and since i'm not a musical person....no loss to me - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:07
- it's pretty much unwatchable - decline Jul 26, 13:06 6
  - except to the millions of people who watch it. not everyone has the same tastes - I don't get dismissing something because it's not for you. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:07 5
    - I don't get dismissing someone dismissing other people. (nm) - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:10 1
      - takes every kind of people, fuzz. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:11
    - i feel this way too. there is plenty of tv i think is horrendous, i just don't comment on it. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:08 2
      - I took aim at the entire Bravo network the other day. -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 13:21 1
        
        i actually don't mind people who watch something discussing the pros/cons of a show or episode. i just don't like wholesale dismissals. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:44
