No, only actors who have to settle for a series that shamelessly panders to its audience are untalented. I have a feeling "Glee" is the next incarnation of "30 Rock," inasmuch as I know many people who adore the series -- people whose opinion I respect adore the series -- and I just can't figure it out. Still living here at the homestead, I've had to endure a few episodes of this series (my sister is a fan). The songs are generally painful, to the point where I'd have rather heard Rebecca Black sing "Friday" as opposed to the "Glee" version. The storyline makes the old "ABC AfterSchool Special" scripts seem deep and substantive. The show's fans talk about how awesome it is because they are able to so quickly choreograph and produce musical shows in such a condensed period of time, but it looks rushed and half assed. The only thing I can assume is that it has been so long since Hollywood has produced a quality musical for the big or the small screen that people who don't watch the classics on TCM genuinely don't know how much better they can be. -- Kevin M.
