Glee 3x02

Glee is not really one of the TV shows I would place at the top of my To Watch list. I feel like they try too hard to make the show inspiring to the point that it's like they're forcing rainbows and unicorns down our throats. However, something about my love for amazing covers of already-amazing songs makes me want to watch the new episodes with hopes that I'll come across something that is like an orgasm to my ears. For example, their mashup cover of Adele's "Rumour Has It" & "Someone Like You" (in 3x06) was amazing - I loved it, overplayed it, and still love it!


It appears I will be raping the play button again for yet another one of their covers from this week's episode. Really loving their rendition of David Guetta ft. Usher's "Without You"! Their cover of Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris' "We Found Love" wasn't shabby either, but I'm definitely loving "Without You" more - probably because I like that song more to begin with.

So yes, it appears I have found the answer to my question. Why do I keep watching Glee? THIS is why.

My TV No-nos

I think I have a pretty good tolerance for shows. I'm the type who's willing to give shows second or third chances, but here are some deal breakers for me.

1. Incestuous Relationships In a Group of Friends
I hate shows in which everyone's slept with everyone else. It's just annoying for me. Don't get lazy, writers. Introduce some new characters! (On a weird note: actual incest is less annoying for me. But that's probably because I've only seen it on good shows.)
Culprit: Gossip Girl (This hookup chart was created a year and a half ago. It's a lot worse than that now.)

2. Storylines Befitting Soap Operas
May or may not include: stalkers, stalker-kidnappers, stalker-murderers, murder cover-ups (done wrong), people coming back from the dead, long lost siblings coming back from the dead, secret affairs, secret love children, etc.
Culprits: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl

3. Overhypedness
This is more of the fan's fault than the show creators themselves, but it's still a deal breaker for me. When everyone acts treats one show like the savior of primetime television, and I don't get it, I just start feeling left out and confused. And then I give up on the show. And eventually start hating it.
Culprits: Glee, New Girl

4. Procedural Shows with No Overarching Storyline
When a procedural show's episodes don't relate to each other, I see no problem in missing a couple episodes here and there. Next thing you know, I'm missing a full season. And then I let the show go completely.
Culprits: Criminal Minds, Law and Order: SVU

5. Procedural Shows with Complicated Overarching Storylines
This usually happens to keep a show going a few seasons past its due date. Writers start throwing random things into the show to keep things interesting. It just gets too complicated for me.
Culprit: Burn Notice
