The best thing about Glee, is the Community episode based on Glee.

"If we win regionals, then it's straight on to sectionals. And then a week later is semis. Then semiregionals. Then regional-semis. Then national lower-zone semis!"

"What the hell are regionals?"

You're absolutely right. That first season was quite a ride. Streets ahead

A fun little Community history lesson, that episode was almost the series finale.

As fans at the time remember, ratings were so low there was a looming fear it could be dropped by NBC any day. This was the halfway point of the 3rd season and it got short-ordered, which usually is the death kiss for a cable sitcom. Luckily it was able to finish its 3rd season and "wrap up," and instead of canceling the show they fired Harmon instead for S4. I remember hating this ep at the time, only for the fear it was how the show would've been sent off after all of its build up.

Guess it doesn’t matter but wasn’t Glee on Fox?

Edit: not sure how to do strike through but I read this wrong and didn’t realize it was about community. This is why I should get up and get ready for work instead of surfing Reddit at 6:30.

Glee was so perfect a target for satire because I’m 90% it started as a satire before becoming so popular they decided to just do it unironically. The pilot is almost a different show and is just wild

So they're cursed time travelers. Sounds interesting

MCUNeedsClones t1_j0vwlbi wrote

I would watch a high school drama about cursed time travellers... presumably they'd be trying to uncurse themselves? What's the plot?

22

Janderson2494 t1_j0vxtjb wrote

They travel back to different periods of time where there are rumors of witchcraft or the like involved to discover the origins of the curse and a cure. Salem late 1600s, Nazi experiments in the 1930s/40s, satanic panic in the 80s/90s. I'm sure there's a ton of eras and locations to explore around the world.

Family lineages are involved and the main characters meet old family members each episode. Show goes off the rails and they eventually get super powers, then inevitably battle the final antagonist who can bend time and space to their will.

Superfissile t1_j0xcs2o wrote

They’re a high school history class from a utopian parallel timeline. They travel back in time to observe history real time. They keep inadvertently doing minor things that create our current timeline.

tetoffens t1_j0vq600 wrote

Cory had been using drugs since age 13, well before even being cast. And I've never heard of a show putting a curse on someone to make them want to fuck kids and kill themselves as a result of that and prison time they didn't want to serve.

Naya was the one you can chalk up to bad luck but there were also some precautions she did not take which could have prevented it.

Lol are you being serious or really this thick? No, one thinks the show iterally cursed anyone, it's just pointing out how awful a lot of the casts lives ended.

No one thought the Madden video games were literally curing the athletes. People just pointed out how bad stuff happened to the cover stars pretty frequently.

Just traces of it. It is not like she was drunk or high on drugs. A completely clean person without a life vest likely would have drowned, too. There were dangerous currents in that lake.

She had an overall positive experience on the show and thinks people should be wary of focusing too much on the salacious drama. She lowkey plugs her podcast with Kevin McHale where they will "set the record straight.'

sleepyotter92 t1_j0ygptl wrote

lol multiple people, especially extras, talked about their awful experience on the show. the extras mainly had issues with leah michelle, who's an utter diva. pretty sure her and naya hated each other's guts because naya wasn't there to put up with leah's bs.

kevin and jenna are still milking the glee fame just like jonathan bennet is still milking the mean girls fame. they got nothing else notable in their careers so they gotta keep that fandom happy to keep the money flowing

Having a positive experience does not negate the negative.

I have a family member who was a side character who became a sort of beloved side character and they brought him back multiple times. He was a teenager, about 14 at the time, and was getting into experimenting experimenting with drugs and alcohol and they not only allowed him to get drunk before shooting his scenes, they provided him the alcohol and encouraged it. Not that this was the make or break instance for him, but he went onto abuse alcohol until he ended up in the hospital one night after nearly dying. He’s been sober about a year now. But I always wonder what it would have been like if he wasn’t encouraged to get raging drunk before shooting.

HappyThreatening t1_j10cmdb wrote

Wait, they encouraged him to get drunk before shooting scenes for Glee? That sounds like something that would happen way back in the day, not in the 2010s. How damaging! Good for him on his sobriety.

monsieurxander t1_j12dssq wrote

During the second season, cast was drinking so much the producers staged an intervention. And then wrote a thinly veiled episode calling them out for drinking.

If this happened, it was on fellow cast members behind the backs of production.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t had any desire to rewatch the series since it ended and the only reason I kept up with it that long was to see what songs they would cover. Honestly, a lot of the storylines were pretty cringe. The one that stands out most to me was the “Blame It On The Alcohol” episode, where basically all of the characters, especially the underaged children, engage in heavy drinking and nobody really suffers any consequences from it, as everyone thought they were acting.
