    At first I thought that this series would be one of the lot, but I was surprised that I could identify with their characters, this series gives a great message to see the world not as it is but as it should be

    Glee is a pretty successful musical comedy by FOX, as it has been called as the High School Musical for adult. The reason might be that some of the content is a little inappropriate for youngsters. It could be a good entertainment/show to watch, but there are quit a number of stereotypes that can be found in the series, it is somewhat exploiting in a way, some of them could definitely be determined as racial stereotypes. A remarkable example of the racial stereotype or racist portrayals in the "glee" series would be the depiction of Asian American characters in the shows, they are Tina Cohen- Chang and Mike Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz and Harry Shum Jr.). They have been called as the "Smart Asian" couple in season 1. These Asian American characters represented the specific stereotype of that Asians who are pretty much the same, and they even share the same last names. Like the above characters portrayals, the way that the producer of the TV series depicts the appearances, impressions, and family background of the characters represents the races and cultures of Asian American in a stereotypical way, or even slightly racist. The categorization of Asian American by certain features could be provoking and validating the pre-existing stereotypes. It seems that "Glee" is being out of its way to be promoting racial perceptions and its stereotyping depictions instead of providing the audience a proper plot and suitable portrayals of Asian Americans and other minority groups to educate the audiences.

    I can't believe something could drop to such a low level of any show, movie, book, game, musician, anything created ever. This is the worst of exactly that. I'll explain why. First off, the music is dreadful. For a show that boasts about its great soundtrack, it is just a bunch of dreadful pussy-pop sang by every white kid ages 10-14 in America. I feel like they just got some average little brat kid off the street and used her iPhone as the soundtrack reference, and got the biggest excuses of "singers" to perform.Second, the show is the most biased, most hipster creation I have ever seen. The entire show revolves around how its great to be you, and to be different. I agree with that, but they go WAY to far. They basically hold up a giant flashing sign that screams "equality" every episode. There are transgenders, cripples, autistics, gays, pregnant teens, just everything you could imagine. I don't care if you are gay, black, white, straight, male, female, whatever... but stuff like transgenders, pregnant teens, emos, cutters, THAT is where it gets weird. And its forced into every episode for no rhyme or reason to back it up.Glee is not just bad, its dreadful. You wouldn't wish this on your worst enemy. I am sure Lucifer himself cries and something like this. What a load of garbage.

    I feel bad for this show. I really do. It got big fast and then didn't know what to do with itself. But the thing is, if it had stuck to its original idea, original goals of being progressive and positive, and about a stupid show choir full of outcasts, I think it would have come out of this a lot better. And I think it would have been popular but Hollywood has it in their head that shock value and s3x are the only way to get views. They underestimate viewers; we're willing to watch stuff like this only because we're starved for quality material. If quality is provided, shows like this would be dropped. But no one wants to leave that safety of rehashed story lines so I guess TV will continue to suck.
