GLUM

so, if you've read me for any length of time, you would know that i have a teensy bit of liberal in me.

i can also be a naughty envelope-pusher, which often time works both for & against me. i'm obviously not a prude.

so, nobody would be more surprised than me when i state that i was disappointed in my beloved GLEE last night.

the pilot was so original: great music, witty writing, funny jokes & obscure references, and, best of all, characters that you were invested in within 40 minutes.

the premier last night had some of those things. but it was hard to see those things through all of the direct sex references. which were a little rough explaining to the group of 4 to 11 year olds gathered in my basement who had been waiting for this night since may.

i GET that teens think about sex. i am always the first one to laugh out loud at a subtle or well-placed tongue-in-cheek remark or reference. but there was nothing subtle about the references last night--it was all very direct, in-your-face, and, most of the time, totally unnecessary.

i know that this show was developed by the creators of nip/tuck. but they are marketing to a very adult audience for that series. NOT the following they had for glee.

so, my advice? clean it up, people!

don't lose out on your target audience.



END RANT.

and, NO. this is not a sign that the apocalypse is nigh. i really don't want to see any looting or rioting or burning things going on out there--

but it might not hurt to get your financial affairs in order.....just in case.
