The shows that I allow my family to watch is more “Americana” by definition. I love “Swamp People”, and some of the other shows about auctions etc... My daughter wanted to watch “Glee” since many of her friends watch it. I watched it with her for about ten minutes and said, “no”. (actually, what I said was a little more severe).
The thing about Glee is that it started out ok. I’m not a musical kind of guy, but I keep an eye on what my kids watch. The first few episodes were decent enough; singing, dancing, silly jokes. But then it went downhill and into the gutter of sexual innuendo and garbage, is now unacceptable - seems to be pushing the gay thing way too much, as well as giving the false images and unreal expectations as twenty-five year old actors attempt to portray high school kids. No wonder teen girls hate the way they look, and this is just one example. I’m thinking the producers plan this out from day one.
