I would like to dedicate an entire article to Glee, on of the best prime time TV shows on air. Glee received a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100 in its first season, based on reviews by eighteen critics. It was also praised by critics in several round-up reviews of 2009 in television. James Poniewozik of Time Magazine ranked it the eighth best television show of the year.
It’s all about a high school Spanish teacher Will Schuester who reneeds his own passion for music by starting up a glee club composed of talented geeks. His star pupils turn out to be a pitch-perfect but unpopular overachiever (Lea Michele) and a much popular jock (Cory Monteith), whose friends practically disown him for preferring to sing over sports. But Will’s home life with an overbearing wife (Jessalyn Gilsig)? Well, that isn’t quite as fulfilling, and eventually their relationship falls apart. As the series progresses, a popular teen deals with pregnancy, other teens consider having sex for the first time, and teens pursue love interests — all mixed in with song-and-dance numbers.
However, it is important for parents to realize that this edgy TV comedy promotes a positive message of cooperation and acceptance amid a combat zone littered with jokes about homophobia, bullying, substance abuse, teen sex, and other great topics. There isn’t an outright issue with language, although characters use some terms that many parents probably wouldn’t want their kids knowing. There’s also a bit of name-dropping when it comes to brands, and the cast performs songs by popular artists like Britney Spears, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, and Amy Winehouse. One teen is gay, and another character has two gay dads who conceived her through a surrogate.
Here are the top 10 supercouples from the award winning show Glee. Hope you liked my picks:
