Even liberals thought ‘Glee’ went too gay which is why it was canceled last year after the ratings tanked.
There was a cute redhead who went from Heroes to Glee, but she wasn’t enough to make me turn into that rot. Anything by the guy who did that (can’t remember his name, Ryan something) is sleazy, gay agenda trash.
“He was charged with one count of using the Internet to obtain a pornographic still image and video of young girls and a second count of possessing two other child porn videos that also featured young girls.”
Girls? Really?
Wow... he was cast as a 13-yr-old at the age of 27.
Even though I can read musical notation, I never watched the show. Saw part of the movie once.
“Even liberals thought Glee went too gay which is why it was canceled last year after the ratings tanked.”
That show was so ridiculously gay that I flipped the channel and looked at it briefly, and my beard stopped growing for a week. It was that flaming. I have a gay acquaintance and he was embarrassed about that show.
The show lasted 6 seasons, which is more than most shows.
Like all shows, viewership declines with time.
Glees first big problem had to with replacing the older characters who graduated(Seniors) with you younger characters(sophomores) in season 4. The new characters/actors didn't catch on with the fans and many fans wanted the older characters back on the show.
Glee and Fox fixed that problem during season 4 and at the end of season 4, Fox decided to get 2 more seasons(5 & 6) out of Glee before they canceled it. Fox decided to negotiate all the salary contracts for 2 years(season 5 & 6) as a way to save money.
Then lightning struck: The leading man on the show(Cory Monteith) died of a drug overdose between season 4 and 5. Because of that, the show crashed during season 5.
But Fox couldn't cancel the show at the end of season 5 because that had signed all the salary contacts for two years so they had to have a season 6 that nobody watched.
The Fox executive who decided on the 2 year contracts got fired.
Glee wasn't a very good show but it was very popular with teenage girls, who also bought a lot of the Glee music.
Glee had way more singles on the Billboard top 100 than anybody else(207). They sold a lot of downloads(40 million) and albums(7 million) and had two very, very profitable concert tours, from which they produced a video that they a lot of.
What’s a surprise is that they’re not caught more often.
