Watching and writing about television is a pretty painless experience in the grand scheme of things. But disregarding the world’s real problems for a moment, watching and writing about Glee can be fairly traumatic, you guys. Every time I think the series has lost its way for good, it pulls me back in with a … Continue reading Review: Glee, “On My Way”

Review: Glee, “Heart”
By now, you know that my schedule/workload/life changes keep me from writing as much as I would like here at TV Surveillance. Of all series I miss writing about, Glee someone still tops the list (well, since Community is still trapped out there in the ether). I don’t even understand how that’s really true, but … Continue reading Review: Glee, “Heart”
Review: Glee, “Hold on to Sixteen”
At this point, there are so many problems with Glee that is much easier to just say “it sucks!” and move on. Fortunately (or more likely, unfortunately) for you folks, I am much more verbose than that, and I am also so intrigued by the reasons that Glee has so many problems that I cannot … Continue reading Review: Glee, “Hold on to Sixteen”
Review: Glee, “I Kissed A Girl”

The series took Kurt’s challenges and … Continue reading Review: Glee, “I Kissed A Girl”

One of the biggest problems with season two was its wild inconsistency, not across episodes, but within … Continue reading Review: Glee, “Mash Off”
Review: Glee, “The First Time”
When I read sometime last month that Glee would be doing an episode centered on Rachel and Kurt losing their respective virginities, I shuddered. A few times. Even though this season of Glee has been relatively solid (let’s just pretend last week’s episode never, ever happened OK?), I am always worried when the series decides … Continue reading Review: Glee, “The First Time”
Review: Glee, “Pot O’Gold”
Well, I guess there was no way that could last. It’s been a while, but when the first three episodes of Glee’s third season aired nine months ago, it was somewhat staggering that all of them were pretty solid, with the last aired episode “Asian F” being one of my favorites in a very long … Continue reading Review: Glee, “Pot O’Gold”
