Glee is absolutely horrible as show.  The writers just lumped every Teenage High School Cliche together.  The singing numbers are nice, check them out on Youtube or something but do not subject yourself to it.

it is a musical. he'll love it.

BUMP  :mad:

Why the angry face? Making too much of an effort bumping the thread?

I need more people to vote. :P

17 people aren't enough? It's clear from the poll that you should buy Dexter, The Wire and Entourage.  :P

So is High School Musical, yet I doubt he'd enjoy it, unless he morphs into Siege and/or Grallon.  :lol:

I love musicals but that show...it is so badly written and acted and the characters are so one-dimensional it makes me want to claw my eyes out and my standards for those things are not high.  As I said the music is good just check out the scenes on Youtube but for all that is good and decent and holy do not buy DVDs of it.

It is Dawnson's Creek but with music...and worse acting...and writing.

Atheists shouldn't get Christmas off.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The coolest gay character in any movie ever is the Dane in Miller's Crossing.

Quoteshould have at least some gay appeal (I am not saying it needs to be Queer As Folk, but there should be at least some gay character(s) or otherwise appeal to gay sensibilities)
You can't like shows without gays? :s

Yes. Including shipping it's ca. 50 EUR from Amazon.co.uk

The other seasons aren't out yet.

Ok, I'm getting Entourage, The Wire and Dexter, based on recommendations here (and the fact that I'm loving season 1 of Dexter). Also will probably get Ugly Betty and True Blood, but that's because I like vampires and gay fashion shows.
