  • Depending on whether you are a Gleek or anti-Gleek. As a hadcore anti-Gleek, I say enough of this crap. Spielberg or not, this is Glee cash in. With Debra Messing and bunch of washed up people from cancelled shows and American Idol. Cancellation ahoy. Maybe 3-4 episodes since pilot tops. Just wait and see.

    • Also, the title begs for all kinds of jokes should it fail.

  • You are right about audience. Nobody cares about that and why should they? Shows about what goes behind the scenes of fame like Entourage are completely different animal and that show had Ari (Heart-of)Gold, so, yep, tough act to follow. This looks to be Glee knock off without teen pull.

• What’s with all the girl/ women hating comedy? I hate my teenage daughter????? What a reductionist, negative idea. Thanks for helping young girls feel secure and worth anything, Fox.

• HUCKABEE IS A IDIOT

  In a series of interviews with right-wing radio, Huckabee resurrected what he knew was fictions about Obama growing up in Africa and spending a childhood under the spell of Islamic madrassas. Huckabee and the Republican Party lie to their base to promote racial hatred! NOT one in the Republican Party’s leadership called Huckabee out. One potential reason? Trafficking in falsehoods about Obama ‘s background, and questioning his American values, may be key to winning the Republican nomination. Just like oversea terrorist that spread lies about America. Republicans do the same! Mike Huckabee might run for President of the United State! This would be the worse position for the country if he does! Mr. Huckabee left Arkansas in worse condition then he found it! He also release a inmate that later murder four police officers! The former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is the host of “HUCKABEE” on the racist Fox News Channel. This idiot has now attacked his base “white people”! On a radio show this week, Huckabee criticized Natalie Portman a white actress for sending the message that it’s okay to have a child “out of wedlock,” because attacking Murphy Brown went so well for the proven idiot Dan Quayle nearly two decades ago. Murphy Brown is another white actress! White women make up 64% of all single parent in the country! 43% as a result of divorce. 61% of all Americans that live in poverty are white people! 68% of all government entitlement programs goes to white people! Both Republican Huckabee and House Speaker John Boehner are attacking their base! Speaker Boehner is attacking social security and Medicare!

• HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF AMERICANS

  We are living in a time where white Americans will go crazy if a cat or any animal is abuse or killed by a human being! But if a black person is abuse or shot in the back while handcuff by a white police officers. There is no human out cry or disapproval! Especially by white Americans! Black people will become outrage but their out cry is dismiss by a racist judicial system that could careless! Seven year old Aiyana Jones was asleep when a white Detroit police officer . That knew and didn’t care there where innocent children in the house! Threw a flash bomb that lid the child’s blanket and got her on fire! Then shot her DEAD! There was know out cry from the white community. The white control media first reported that the house was dirty and the community was a bad one! None of which had NOTHING to do with irresponsible police officers! White Americans have no respect for black life at all! None like the out cry when a animal is abuse or killed! Today disrespect of American by people in authority of all colors are up! There is a very high tolerant of abuse of minority in America! Just like in Libya where their dictator have rule with disrespect. This country is know different! We tolerate Judge Judy disrespect conduct and Nancy Grace yelling and disrespecting litigants! Their behavior have become the norm! In NY and Philly black children as young as 8 are made to drop their trouser and take off their shoes in full view of the public! There Stop& Frisk program really is stop blacks and Hispanic! Black children are scared to death to walk to school! Some are made to laid on the ground while cops talk to them and then just let them go!
