Glee looks stupid.
It's not. It's really really not. It's actually very smart stuff. If it appears on the surface to be over-the-top and silly, that's because it's farce. If you were ever one of the geek-subclass in school, if you ever spent any time in a Bible-belt Midwestern town, there's a whole lot of truth and some truly brilliant irony underlying the hijinks.
Just as Ryan Murphy's other show, Nip/Tuck, was a farcical examination of the ugliness inherent in our cultural obsession with youth and beauty, Glee seems to be shaping up to be an examination of the quest for fame and popularity and the confusion between talent and notoriety.
Mark this as the only time I've agreed with Ambrya.
Hey, you watch SYTYCD too!

Well written and hilarious. Sue saying "I will not rest until every inch of our fair state is covered in garbage. It’s why I pay taxes. It keeps garbage men earning a living…so they can afford tacos for their family."

The quotable-quotes list from this show is quickly going to expand to epic proportions. And most of it is going to be lines that Sue speaks. Seriously.
BTW, if you were a fan of Nip/Tuck, last night's discussion between Terri and her sister where the sister asks, "Oh, my God...is the baby black?" was a reference to Jessalyn Gellig's character on Nip/Tuck, who delivered a black baby into the hands of the white man she supposedly conceived the baby with.
