Strike 1: the Madonna homage episode last season
Strike 2: the Britney and the nastiness
Strike 3: the OBVIOUS veiled insults to religion, especially those that have a stance on same sex anything....
The kicker: the missionaries and their perfectly-timed example tonight.
The result: I am I'm done with Glee. Sad. It WAS seriously entertaining, but that one was just a bit TOO far on the offensive side.
I'm out. Peace easy, Glee...I have more important/right things to focus on.
I agree.... I thought the Madonna and Britney episodes were too much.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I shall have to talk to some of my YW tonight, now that I know what it was about. They all LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I'm not done... Definitely parts of Brit-sode that were raunchified... though this week's episode... I think all faith (and lack thereof) was represented fairly (atheist/agnostic, judaism, christianity, etc.). so while at times for my being of faith it was like nails on a chalkboard... I experience similar things in real life every day. Granted, if it continues to worsen as far as the raunch factor goes, it may go on notice for me as well. As for now, I'm not so kinda done yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI was done last season after watching only one episode. TV has gotten so bad the last few years I refuse to watch it anymore....
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It's too bad that we have to give up things we love because they go to the dark side. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, and I agree...it did the same thing for me, and I have other things that are best to do...the whole good, better, best thing; you know what I am talking about.
ReplyDeleteConfession. I never watched it. Mainly because I read the synopsis and there was the affair or almost affair storyline. I am not much of a prude and watch lots of things I am certain I shouldn't, but I decided never to watch Glee. And I felt secretly good about it. But when people asked me why I didn't watch it, I really couldn't explain because I a) didn't want to seem self righteous and b) honestly believe people are capable of choosing for themselves what they find offensive or troubling. So, yeah for taking a mini stand on something you believe in!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thanks! It has been interesting. It sparks down right nastiness from some people, but I just shrug and tell them its my decision. And no, I haven't missed it at all...which is a bit shocking and entirely fascinating to me.
