Fox’s Glee has cast the roles of Rachel Berry’s (Lea Michele) adoptive parents. Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell have been tapped to play the gay couple, Hiram and LeRoy Berry, our sister site TVLine.com reports. The two will appear in the show’s Valentine’s Day episode on Feb. 14 and are expected to sing.

Ryan Murphy is not content with all of the gay stereotypes he portraying on the show, now he has an African-American character named “LeRoy”! What is this? 1975
Rachel’s gay dads were cast in the pilot and then Ryan Murphy cut the scene promising the actors he would use them again later. These are obviously not those actors. Yet another reason to dislike Murphy.
I watched Smash’s pilot and I thought it was phenomenal. The writing,acting, singing. It’s everything that Glee could only dream of. A truly great hour of television. Much better than Glee is. I just hope it can translate into ratings at least for the 1st episode.
I happen to agree with you, Pam. Smash’s pilot was phenomenal. Smash is getting a huge positive reaction on the internet. I think NBC was right to take the New Girl route and release it on the internet first. It’s already getting highly positive reaction. I think it will premiere well based on word of mouth and Super Bowl promotion.
Smash’s pilot was just phenomenal. Truly great writing.
Glee better wake up because Smash is about to give glee a run for its money.
This show has become so “gayish” and that’s why it’s losing audience and losing awards. Just too much gay being pushed on the viewing audience.
Well I for one watch Glee because of of the “gayish” content as you call it. It’s nice to see a positive presentation of gay characters for a change on network TV. I wish you could try living a day in this country as a gay American. Then perhaps you’d understand why this “gayish” content is necessary to be “pushed on the viewing audience.” I can deal with the 98 per cent of TV that’s all about straight people. You should be able to deal with an hour of Glee with a few gay people.
The show is terrible, point blank. It’s not too gay, it’s too stupid, poorly written, and nonsensical to function.
The one good thing I can say is that their guest star/recurring casting is pretty damn good.
Because there’s really not enough “straight” (which is a noun, now?) being pushed out every other hour of every other night on every other network?
Hear that, Glee? SMASH is going to be the biggest hit of the year, just ask the commenters above!
Just one problem: NBC can’t launch even a great show because the brand is toxic thanks to years of horrible management.
@SallyinChicago, with absolutely no respect, you’re an idiot. No one is pushing “gay” on the viewing audience and wtf is “gayish”? The show is skewed to certain demographics, and it is poorly written and terribly over produced.
I am getting really tired of the gay theme of this show. It’s one thing to have gay characters and have them be a part of the show than to push the gay agenda down our throats. They need to start having different stories and more appealing stories or they will start losing even more viewers including myself.
So if SMASH is successful, does season 1 end with the show opening on Broadway?
If so, what do they do with season 2?
Since GLEE is about high school, they can always graduate out the older (and more costly) cast and bring in newcomers.
Not only does it seem too “gayish”, it also features way too many stereotypes. It has also lost its humor! I downloaded SMASH this week and I’ve watched it twice. I’m a straight 19 year old male. I think it will play well.
Have fun with the “Impromptu” Jazz piano playing and 26 hour a day Look at me act you just hired.
Jeff Goldblum is great…
Aw, I wish Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell were my gay dads.
Me too WiscoJoe… Me too…
when will glee ever have a showchoir? I dont even watch anymore so, havent watched it in a while. At one point it was the Kurt show, and I lost interest…and im gay. How about not needing everyone else’s approval. Love yourself first, you don’t need a bloody cheer section every time you feel down.
Finally! I’ve been waiting to see who Rachel’s dads were – why did it take them so long to develop that storyline? Now I have a reason besides Sue to watch again.
I saw the SMASH pilot, too – only pilot I’ve seen with tv buyers where they actually clapped at the end (aside from NYPD Blue years ago)- but it should be on HBO or Showtime or F/X – will garner huge critical response for sure but not big audience – too narrow a focus – but maybe NBC will be forced to keep it on air anyway considering the rest of its less than stellar lineup.
They’re absolutely right, there is too much of a gay theme to the show, it’s annoying. TV shows should be for entertainment, not as a way of “pushing” a message down the viewers throats. People aren’t going to change how they feel about something because they watched a TV show and the kind of people who hate gays are not gonna be watching glee to start with. I don’t have a problem with gay people but that doesn’t mean I wanna see two guys kissing on TV.
