A Post About Glee.

I hated Glee with a burning passion when it first came out. Seriously. I thought it was the worst thing to happen to television and music simultaneously since Hannah Montana. Every time someone brought it up, I'd scoff about the shaky camera angles and poor covers. That was 2009, and it's now 2011 (obviously), and I guess that after two years of this, it's about time I eat my words.
Now that the show's taken a summer hiatus between the second and third season, my mother's been talking about how
"We should get into Glee."
"We need to start watching Glee."
"I think we'd really like Glee."
About a week ago I gave in and we started the first episode of the first season online. And, to my bewilderment, it was actually pretty good! I guess I just never gave it a chance because I never got a chance to watch it and the first of their covers that I'd ever heard was "Jessie's Girl" (which really wasn't that good). I ended up really liking the first episode and the characters, which I never thought I'd do.
My mother and I watched the entire first season online and we've started the second. I think we're about two episodes in. We'll probably catch up in another week and be forced to suffer the hiatus along with other Glee fans!
Although I'm a fan of the series now, I don't at all consider myself a Gleek or whatever the fans call themselves. I like the show but I still find faults. I can't stand how shaky the angles can get and there are quite a few continuity errors. Although I like the actors' and actresses' voices, there are some covers I really can't listen to (like the previously mentioned "Jessie's Girl").
That's kind of all I have to say for now.
Hey, remember when I said I'd update every week?
