Glee-fully Ignorant.


So I’ve managed to keep myself out of it…it’s a show about high school drama and frankly I haven’t really let myself get sucked into such a thing since I was in high school myself and ‘Dawson’s Creek’ was still on the air…
But ‘Dawson’s Creek’ isn’t still on the air. I graduated just shy of ten years ago. A freaking decade. I’m about to be 27. I don’t need to be watching shows filled to the brim with nastiness and bitchiness and heartfelt teenage romance. So I’ve not watched it…
I sat on whatever night it airs on and blissfully zoomed past on the television in favor of CNN or MSNBC….or oh, god, Fox News if it came right down to it…
Regardless of the fact that I do adore Jayma Mays….I have a chick hard-on for Jessalyn Gilsig…to this day I still have to bite my lip to refrain from entering a room with a “Hey, Asshole.” every time I walk into a room with any number of womanizers I’ve come across in my life….And Jane Lynch is fucking hilarious in everything she’s ever been in….
It’s from Ryan Murphy…who also brought us ‘Nip/Tuck’…and by proxy the aforementioned “Hey, Asshole.” line.
And I’ve been personally informed that it’s dark and subversive and that I would probably really like it….
Which brings us to now. Using my most awesome Hulu Plus subscription (that, yes, I paid for…with my own pennies and everything), I decided to give it a shot. SO there I was….
I went with an episode that I’ve been told would be a really good starting place…
And I made it 10 minutes in before I turned it off and ran screaming the other way into an episode of House that I’ve seen like twice already. (Thanks, USA.)
I don’t for the life of me know why it doesn’t interest me. I’ve no explanation for why I would rather sit and watch an episode of ‘It’s Always Sunny..’ and reflect on just how horrible the human condition can be..(not really, truthfully I just get high and laugh my fucking ass off)..or indulge in some Poly-lovin-Paxton-Style on ‘Big Love’…or possibly drool over Sofia Vergara on ‘Modern Family’…but I just can’t seem to get ‘Glee’. Maybe I’m just too fucking old.
